abolitionists have so increased their degradation as to prove all the more
the utter folly of emancipation in the United States.

8. God has permitted the anti-slavery men in the North, in England, in
France, and everywhere, so to blind themselves in hypocrisy as to give the
Southern slave-holder his last perfect triumph over them; for God tells
