More from Lewis Tappan

In the place of your present contempt, and degradation, and misery, honor, and wealth, and happiness court your acceptance.

By abolishing slavery you will become the architects of your own fortune, and of your country's greatness.

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

The institution which oppresses you is suffering from the decrepitude of age, and is the scorn and loathing of the world.
