More from Lewis Tappan

Unite then, we beseech you, with one heart and one mind, for the legal, constitutional abolition of slavery.

You will be cheered by the approbation of your own consciences, and by the plaudits of mankind.

Do you pant for liberty and equality, more substantial than such as is now found only in your obliterated and tattered bills of right?

Now is the time, fellow-citizens, to assail the foe.
