If it be consistent M'ith His will, in tlie fullness of time, to break the fetter of the slave, he will raise up some Moses to be their deliverer. To hira S 26 commission will be given to lead them up out of the land of bondage. At his approach, seas will subside, and moun- tains disappear. When this revelation shall be made, & the jubilee of emancipation be proclaimed, philanthro- py will hft its voice to swell the joyful note, which, sweep- ing the continent and the isles of the new world, an...d resounding through the old, shall cause the oppressor to let go his prey, the dungeon to surrender its victim, and give emancipation to the slave. Till then, let us draw consolation from the reflection that, however incompre- hensible this dispensation may be to us, it is a link in that great concatenation which is permitted by Omnipotent power and goodness, and must issue in universal good. I will not weary the patience of the Senate by detaining them any longer on this subject. It is the speaker, and not the theme, that is exhausted.
