Excerpt from The American Board and Slaveholding

But these individuals can never forget that, by their own guilty reluctance, they have been deprived of the honor of originating and carrying forward this cause, and they regard it as Sarah did the son of Hagar, when she said, 'Cast out this bondwoman and her son, for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, even with Isaac,' or, paraphrased and applied, it would read thus: 'Cast out from your sympathies, your prayers, your meetings, your alms, the bondmen in this land and the society which professes to care for them: for the bondman's society shall not be admitted to the churches, along with 'our' Bible, Tract and Mission Societies.' There are many who have not yet become convinced that good can come out of Nazareth, and supposing that the mass of the church still sympathize with them, would fain represent that the opposition to the Board comes altogether from this hated and anathematized anti-slavery society. But this is wholly incorrect, for

1. There is now no national anti-slavery society recognized by all abolitionists, as at the head of the enterprize. 2. No anti-slavery society, as such, has memorialized the Board on the subject of slavery. 3. The memorialists are not all members of an anti-slavery society. 4. Many ecclesiastical bodies have, since the meeting of the Board, protested against its doctrine and report. 5. Remonstrances of a similar nature have come from Canada and from over the Atlantic. Deny it as they may, the Board has placed itself across the channel along which the united and rising and swelling anti slavery sentiment of the World is rushing. The despised band of 'fanatics' has increased to an army, and according to prophecy, 'the little one has become a thousand, and the small one a strong nation.' Their words of truth have been scattered like living coals on the conscience, and have 'gone down,' as Garrison said, not into oblivion, but 'into the hearts of the people.' Thousands not nominally connected with them, stand ready to act decidedly when the issue comes. Let this be plainly understood, and in its corroboration let me quote the concluding portion of an indignant remonstrance just received from Scotland, having been adopted by the Glasgow Emancipation Society's Committee, after receiving the Report of the American Board:

"So far as the influence of this Report may extend. it can but work evil, and only evil, to the cause of Liberty and Christianity. Its tendency appears to us to be to establish principles subversive of the foundation of moral government, viz:

1. That holding and using human beings as property, and breeding and trading in slaves, are consistent with a 'credible profession of Christianity,' and that ceasing from these sins, is not included in the Gospel idea of 'Repentance and Faith in Jesus Christ.'

2. That a wrong done to man is less sinful, in proportion as it becomes 'intimately interwoven with the relations and movements of the social system.'
