Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from The Integrity of Our National Union, Vs, Abolitionism: An Argument From the Bible Gentlemen: You were among the first of my friends, to solicit the publication of that part, at least, of my argument before the Synod of Cincinnati, which went to shew, from the language´ of the Bible, that Slavery is tolerated therein; and not made a ground of excommunication from the church. The copy is now at your service. You will find it not so full as when spoken. Eight hours were expended in the delivery of the whole, and the last three parts were crowded into less than half that space. It would have required three hours more to have done justice to these. But, having conceived my plan, I adhered to it throughout, giving my principal attention to the scriptural argument. I have long believed, that if this nation is to he saved from a. deluge of suicidal blood, it will be through the conservative power of the word of our God. You will perceive, that, notwithstanding the argument is upon the whole contracted, as to space, it is expanded as to matter. I allowed myself in writing it out, in a few instances, to work into the proper place, virtual answers to arguments which were really uttered subsequently to mine: although, nearly everything had been anticipated. You may notice, for example, among the omissions, the remarks on the criticism upon 1 Tim. vi: 2, about the masters who were not masters, and about the corn and potatoes. I really thought pity to put such matter in print; and, therefore, preferred walking backward, and throwing a mantle over it. It appeared to me best to retain the form of an address to the presiding officer, because I could call up the matter more vividly to my own mind, and I think those who were present will remember it better. Probably, also, it may increase the vivacity of the whole. Our Abolition brethren will say this is necessary ; for it will, no doubt, be to them a perfect morpheum. They will be all asleep before they reach the end of the pamphlet. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
