If Prophets and Apostles, Martyrs, and Reformers had not been willing to suffer for the truth's sake, where would the world have been now?

The fact is, the South is enraged, because we have exposed her horrible hypocrisy to the world.

My hope is, that men who denounce now, will at length reason.

Then the South wondered we did not interfere with slavery--and now she says we have no right to interfere.
