I think the abolitionists have done, and are doing a great deal of good, by holding slavery up to the public gaze.

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

Consequences, my friends, belong no more to you, than they did to these apostles.

The hopes of the world depend, under God, upon the success of your cause.
