Excerpt from Ten Letters on the Subject of Slavery
Those opposed to the doctrines of the Abolitionists, have been charged with shunning and fearing discussion; and it was intimated to the last General Assembly, by one of the Congregationalist delegates, that Presbyterians were not so communicative on this subject as they should be. Fully persuaded that that cause which will not bear discussion, is a bad one persuaded, also, that the existing agitations on the subject of slavery demand discussion, and that the discussion of the subject, in the spirit of kindness, will do good in more than one way, I ventured to address, to the Congregationalist delegates to the last General Assembly, the following letters. The interest they have awakened, and the desire expressed in different quarters, to have them printed in a more permanent form, have induced me to consent to the publication in the form in which they now appear. Every position taken in these letters might be indefinitely strengthened; but, it is believed, that sufficient evidence has been furnished to satisfy all reasonable persons.
