The writer, as we shall see upon examination of his pages, fights for victory, not for the truth. By this he does great mischief. The question of Slavery demands all the coolness, all the elevation of mind and integrity of purpose which can be brought to it. It is at best a fearful, a dark question. The mind groans under it and is borne down. We are already too much harassed by the difficulties which beset us, too much posed by the magnitude Of the evils threatened, too near being incapacitated for exertion at beholding the immensity of our task, the liveliness of the Opposition, and the moral apathy of men. Perplex us not by ingenious sophistry. Let the spirit of contention prevail in the discussions of this subject, and we are lost: lost to the integrity of purpose which alone will merit, to the calmness of judgment which alone will ensure, success. No greater injury can be done to the community, than by encouraging them to make the subject of Slavery one Of the many, upon which spleen is vented, men abused, vanity gratified, and truth neglected.
