Xxiii, 15. By the principle that a law stands while the reason for it re- mains. The reasons given by Prof. Stuart for such a law touch- ing the slaves of heathen masters are — 1. That slavery exist- ed in a much worse form among the heathen than among the Hebrews ; and 2. That among the heathen, slaves could not come to the knowledge of God. Is then the condition of slaves at the south in any respect like that of slaves among the heatlien in the time of Moses? Upon this point Prof. Stuart shal...l be our witness; he has visited the South, and his testimony on this point may be presumed to be impartial. In the same pamphlet from which the previous ex- tracts were made, he says, " As existing among us, slavery has taken its worst form ; it degrades men made in the image of their God and Redeemer, into brute-beasts, or (which makes them still lower) converts them into mere goods and chattels. '" Does then the law which forbade the Hebrews to send back a fugitive slave to a servitude " more severe and rigorous" than that which was tolerated by Moses, require or permit us to send back a fugitive to slavery in " its worst form ?" " In this form of slavery, " he continues, " all the sacred, social relations of life are destroyed.
