William Lloyd Garrison: “Thou that sayest, A man should not steal, dost thou steal," or consent, in any instance, to stealing?”

They can never be reconciled--never walk together--never consent to a truce--never deal in honeyed phrases--never worship at the same altar--never acknowledge the same God.

How can they receive the same baptism, be admitted to the same communion-table, believe in the same Gospel, and obtain the same heavenly inheritance?

While the present Union exists, I pronounce it hopeless to expect any repose, or that any barrier can be effectually raised against the extension of Slavery.

Every slave is a stolen man; every slaveholder is a man-stealer.
