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?

Out of the slave region, patriots and philanthropists, and Christians of every name and sect abhor and execrate it.

Up--quit yourselves like men: and may Almighty God direct and bless your efforts!
