The Soul Of The Truly Benevolent Man

To-day Massachusetts; And The Whole Of The American Republic, From The Border Of Maine To The Pacific Slopes, And From The Lakes To The Gulf, Stand Upon The Immutable And Everlasting Principles Of Equal And Exact Justice. The Days Of Unrequited Labor Are Numbered With The Past. Fugitive Slave Laws Are Only Remembered As Relics Of That Barbarism Which John Wesley Pronounced "the Sum Of All Villainies," And Whose Knowledge Of Its Blighting Effects Was Matured By His Travels In Georgia And The Carolinas.

True Glory Is A Flame Lighted At The Skies.

But Let A Man Know That There Are Things To Be Known, Of Which He Is Ignorant, And It Is So Much Carved Out Of His Domain Of Universal Knowledge.

Enslave A Man And You Destroy His Ambition, His Enterprise, His Capacity. In The Constitution Of Human Nature, The Desire Of Bettering One's Condition Is The Mainspring Of Effort. The First Touch Of Slavery Snaps This Spring.

So Multifarious Are The Different Classes Of Truths, And So Multitudinous The Truths In Each Class, That It May Be Undoubtingly Affirmed That No Man Has Yet Lived Who Could So Much As Name All The Different Classes And Subdivisions Of Truths, And Far Less Anyone Who Was Acquainted With All The Truths Belonging To Any One Class. What Wonderful Extent, What Amazing Variety, What Collective Magnificence! And If Such Be The Number Of Truths Pertaining To This Tiny Ball Of Earth, How Must It Be In The Incomprehensible Immensity!
