Excerpt from An Address, Delivered on the Fourth of July, 1836: At Pine Street Church, Boston, in the Morning, and at Salem, in the Afternoon

That is my text - and if ever one sentence was written in the English language, which expresses more than any other, the true spirit of those who would abolish slavery throughout the world, it seems to me to be this. \'it comprises just every thing for which abolitionists contend. It covers the whole ground, and reaches the farthest possible extent of all their avowed principles, and of all the measures which they con template, or which they desire to see used, for the deliverance of their fellow-men who are held in chains.

Nothing ever was said, nothing ever was written, which aimed more directly to the entire and eternal destruction of the institution of slavery than this.
