Excerpt from Reply to Remarks of Rev. Moses Stuart, Lately a Professor in the Theological Seminary at Andover, on Hon. John Jay: And an Examination of His Scriptural Exegesis, Contained in His Recent Pamphlet Entitled, "Conscience and the Constitution" Rev. Sir: In your late work, "Conscience and the Constitution," you have by a coarse and clumsy device attempted to rebuke me in the name of my honored parent. The character of your assault upon me is intended to convey the impression, without the responsibility of a direct assertion, that were John Jay now alive he would concur with you in sustaining the course of Mr. Webster, and in condemning the doctrine of the sinfulness of human bondage. I owe it to his memory, to save it from such a stigma. You refrain from quoting the "declarations," by which, as you assert, I "degrade and vilify" my own parent, and "hold him up to contempt." The justice which you deny me, I accord to you, and give the language on which I intend to comment: - "I could not help thinking more particularly on one great and good man, who took an active part in all the formative process of our General Government, and by his skill and wisdom saved our new settlements from the horrors of Indian aggression. Every one will, of course, know that I speak of the illustrious John Jay. What if his portrait had been hanging in the hall where the Anti-slavery Society recently met under the presiding auspices of his descendant?
