Excerpt from Characteristics of the Age, a Discourse: Delivered in the First Presbyterian Church, Troy N. Y., On Thanksgiving Day
I have one word more on this law. Let the South execute it, if they please, and let no one throw a straw in their way. But if it is executed, it will render Slavery double-dyed in the deep popular execration of the free States, and especially if it be executed upon those who have long been in the enjoy ment of the rights of humanity, and have families grown up around them. Or let the South take back the many thousands of fugitives who, they allege, are among us - many of whom are now intelligent and honorable men - and they would be so many torch-lights of freedom blazing, with prophetic rays, upon the dark midnight of Slavery. The South better sac rifice ten times the amount of money at which they value these fugitives, than to admit such a corps of missionaries among them. If the North will keep still, and leave this law to itself and the South, all will be well in the end.
