But, it will be said, as it has been, that it is unsafe for Abolitionists to attempt to preach in the slave States. I answer : 1st. The danger, so far as it exists, is simply the consequence of the unwise, unscriptural course they have pursued. For in years past, the subject of slavery was very freely discussed ; and the tendencies were increasingly in favor of some plan of gradual emancipation. About the year 1834, the Synod of Kentucky, after a full discussion of the subject, adopted and reco...mmended a plan of emancipation to the churches under their care; and no unpleasant excitement followed. In the Legislature of Virginia, the subject was discussed with the utmost freedom. In Tennessee, there were large numbers who avowed themselves in favor of emancipation.
