Slavery wishes itself to be kno^vn. God grant it may be ! Let it be known what sort of associates it naturally draws around itself, and what classes of men are arrayed as naturally and necessarily against it. I saw, ui my walks through the streets of Boston, on Friday, among those who had come, with mourning hearts, to see the great sacrifice to be laid on Slavery's altar, Christians of various denominations ; venerable, gray-haired clergymen ; men who have labored for years in every humane ent...erprise ; men of peace, of sobriety, of every virtue ; such men as the State relies on in her crises and emergencies ; such as have repeat- edly received tokens of the confidence of the right- minded; such as have discharged high and varied trusts, with unblemished honor ; such as have ever been foremost in maintaining good laws, and guard- ing the social order. These, slavery accounted her enemies ; and she was not mistaken : they were. Now, whom did she call around her as her natural allies ? To whom did she look for support 1 I will not speak particularly of the soldiery who were called into service on the occasion, because many went reluc- tantly, and because perhaps they could not be expect- ed to know better, or to be better, than that moral doctrine so current among the unreflecting, which teaches that a soldier is no more responsible for what he does, in obedience to a superior, than if he were a 10 billet of wood.
