The hopes of the world depend, under God, upon the success of your cause.
Then the South wondered we did not interfere with slavery--and now she says we have no right to interfere.
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.
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.
