For as there is an uncounted multi- tude of people in the land who borrow their brains, their thoughts, their principles and their utterances from the eloquent and popular minister of Plymouth Church, we can easily see that his example will be studied and imitated by many influential leaders of opinion, both clerical and political. We do not care to recal now what Mr. Beecher may have said or 124 THE REV. HENRY WARD BEECHER. done in former times, in the abolition interest. It is enough for us t...o know that, in his riper age, and with his maturer judgment, and fuller observation, he has deliberately asserted : 1. That a man might hold a slave and not do wrong. 2. That immediate emancipation is impossible. 3. That a slaveholder may be a good Christian. 4-. That the influence of slavery is not always evil. 5. That some actual slaveholders are doing more for the cause of freedom than some violent reformers. 6. That anti-slavery bigotry is like that of Ihc Papacy. These maxims have been enunciated from an honest heart more devoted to truth than to partisan- ship, and have secured for him this regard, the admiration of all men who can appreciate the nobility and magnanimity of character whicli will show them- selves on great occasions, superior to the mousing meanness of little bigots and partisans.
