Now, what does the Crisis require, at the hands of reasonable and faithful men ? "What can it require, but the radical cure of the Patient ? Purify the social system, and the American Eepublic will have peace. This is the inflexible logic of the hour, in my estima- tion, and all remedies that come short of it, will only betray us into deeper misfortune. If you ask by what means Slavery is to be abolished, in this country, I must say, that I am not competent to inform you. But, coming events wil...l declare them. God will show us the means, as the great controversy goes forward. Let there be a will, and there will be a way opened. The course of Eight- cousness is never impeded, except by human prejudice and fear. Meantime, I hold it the patriot's first duty, — next to the rescue of our soil from Rebellion, — to exert himself to create a right public sentiment, in relation to the final disposal of Slavery. The great question will come before the American people— sooner, perhaps, than w^e apprehend ; and it is of the first importance that we be prepared to meet it, in the true sph-it of Christianity, of Eeason, of Philosophy and of Justice.
