I can prove the safety of immediate Emancipation by history.
I have endeavoured to set before you the exceeding sinfulness of slavery, and to point you to the example of those noble women who have been raised up in the church to effect great revolutions, and to suffer for the truth's sake.
There is nothing to fear from immediate Emancipation, but every thing from the continuance of slavery.
I have attempted to vindicate the Abolitionists, to prove the entire safety of immediate Emancipation, and to plead the cause of the poor and oppressed.
