But must abuses be sheltered without end, and human progress given up in despair, because some, who have fattened on wrongs, will cease to prosper at the expense of their brethren ? Undoubtedly Slavery cannot be broken up without deranging in a measure the old social order. Must, there- fore, slavery be perpetual ? Has the Creator laid on any portion of his children the necessity of everlasting bondage ? Must wrong know no end ? Has oppression a charter from God, which is never to grow old ? Wh...at a libel on God, as well as on man, is the supposition, that society cannot subsist without perpetuating the degradation of a large portion of the race! Is this indeed tlie law of the creati m, that multitudes must be oppressed ? that states can subsist and prosper only tlirough crime ? Then there is no God. Then an evil spirit reigns over fhe universe. It is an impious error to believe, that injustice is a necessity under the government of the Most High. It is disloyalty to principle, treachery to virtue, to suppose that a righteous, generous work, conceived in a sense of duty and carried on with deliberate fore- thought, can issue in misery, in ruin.
