Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Word With Bishop Hopkins Rev. and Dear Sir: - I have read an article from your pen published in the Ledger of the 9th Oct., not with any amazement whatever. From what I had seen from your pen in defence of slavery, I had come to the conclusion that you were not a very bright genius, and but a very poor controversialist. Your defence of slavery from the Bible is too silly for me to notice. Any one acquainted with the argument for and against slavery must notice that it is only a rehash of old arguments that have been ably answered long since; and the morality of the Bible has been triumphantly vindicated as far superior even to that of a Bishop Another reason that I would not notice your Bible defence of slavery is, that I have a great respect for old institutions, especially in their dotage. Believing that dotage can do no real harm, why should it not be permitted to depart in peace? The ignorance of the past age has been shouting that the earth stood still and the sun went round intelligence knew better, and bore it patiently, and if the barbarism of the present age goes down howling that slavery is right and just, and that the Bible says so, we know it to be otherwise. The day is ours; we can laugh and bear it; but. Sir, your article of the 9th inst, is such an expose of your principles, or rather the utter want of principle on the subject that it has tempted me to reply to it - not so much a reply as an advice, and to show you your inconsistencies - and I hope even a Bishop will not be unteachable, though the teaching may come from a layman. Sir, you feel sore under the charge of sympathizing with Rebellion, which Bishop Potter brings against you. I think the more of you for it.
