Abolition a Sedition, by a Northern Man

We trust it will be obvious to all, that it was impossible to treat Abolitionism according to its merits, or to exhibit its true character, without regarding it as a RELIGIOUS M...

There seems to have been a uniform impression among the great majority of the citizens of the United States, that the Abolition movement in this country is wrong, as it stands r...

We have shown, in the previous chapter, that the American Anti-slavery society is a _permanent political organization_, attempting to effect a change in the government of the co...

If the showing already made, in regard to the seditious _organization_ of the American Anti-slavery Society, be a fair one, its action as such becomes a conspiracy in the Republ...

Having proved the sedition of the American Anti-Slavery Society as a political organization, which has usurped the business of the Government, under a form prohibited by the Con...

It can hardly have escaped the attentive observer of the history of our country, that for a considerable period, and to a great extent, it has been characterised by _violent ref...

We have nothing to do with the merits of the Religious and Benevolent Society system of this country; it is only necessary for us to allude to the character, skill, operation, a...

_Nous verrons_--Onward! seems to be alike the maxim and tendency of all violent reforms. It may be said, that Abolitionism has at last come to a fair and palpable _denoument_, i...

_Facit per alium, facit per se._ The accessory to a crime is by law, and in justice, made responsible with the principal. No man can deny, that the effect of the Abolition doctr...

We believe the Abolitionists are accustomed to find one apology for the movement in which they are engaged, in the assumption, that all the Members of the American Union are res...

We live in an age of romantic sympathy and religious sentimentalism. There is a charity that prefers a remote object, to one that is near. A blind beggar, with every appearance...

to the slave States of the Union, that, from all appearances, the slaves, as a body, are the happiest people in the world. And although we are far from advocating the doctrine,...

The observance of this rule would secure universal peace. There would never be quarrelling, never war, on the smaller or larger scale; but the breach of it soon produces difficu...

This is a theological term, and announces the doctrine, as we understand it, that it is possible for man to be perfect in this life, and perfect at once. It is a species of _imm...

Aware, that we are constantly liable to perversion as to the intent of our remarks in these pages, it is proper for us to say, that we have not taken up this topic in order to b...

First, its _social_ effects. It has produced a very unhappy state of feeling in the North. Just in proportion to a man’s unreasonableness, if he happens to be in the wrong, will...

It cannot be denied, that Abolitionism has created a very unpleasant state of feeling in the minds of the free colored population, and made them unhappy; that it has excited the...

We think it must strike every intelligent observer--every one certainly that lays claims to any knowledge in the workings of society--that _immediate_ Abolition, whenever acquir...

The political frame of society governs the world, the doctrines of _perfectionists_ to the contrary notwithstanding; and we shall be heartily thankful that it is so, until we ca...

There is nothing but the most _enlarged_ view of a great question, that can fairly determine its merits; and it cannot be denied, that slavery is _one_ of the great questions ap...

The Quakers have generally received credit for being a peace-loving and peace-making Society of Christians; and we are compelled to admit, and have great pleasure in doing so, t...

“Yea, doubtless,” saith the Abolitionist, “for reason fails them.” And so we have all done with argument; for we shall not stop to reply to this. “The South know their rights,”...
