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.
I think the abolitionists have done, and are doing a great deal of good, by holding slavery up to the public gaze.
How long she will stand by like the persecutor Saul, consenting unto the death of Stephen, and keeping the raiment of them that slew him.
No station or character can destroy individual responsibility, in the matter of reproving sin.
