The more the subject of slavery is agitated, the better.
The fact is, the South is enraged, because we have exposed her horrible hypocrisy to the world.
The fact is, we need no excuse for not going to the South, so long as the North is as deeply involved in the guilt of slavery as she is, and as blind to her duty.
Now the Bible is my ultimate appeal in all matters of faith and practice, and it is to this test I am anxious to bring the subject at issue between us.
