gl and the whole aflEair, we are coolly and most truly told, was a business transaction. "... It cannot be, it is not in human nature that judges and lawyers and rich merchants will long enjoy the exclusive privileges of trampling on the laws. These men are sowing the wind and they will reap the whirlwind. They may see the buddings of their harvest in the recent assaults upon the Holland Land Company. When the tempest of anarchy they are now raising shall sweep over the land it will not be the ...humble abolitionist, but the lofty possessor of power and fortune, who will first be levelled by the blast. . . . The obligations of religion and of patriot- ism ; the duties we owe to ourselves, to our children, the cause of freedom, and the cause of humanity — all require us to be faithful to our principles, to per- severe in our exertions, and to surrender our rights only with our breath. Duties are ours and conse- quences are God's, and while we discharge the first we may be confident that the latter will be entirely consistent with our true welfare.'* Digitized by Google CHAPTER V.
