But in the slave holding parts of the United States, the trade is as brisk as ever.  They buy and sell you as though you were brute beasts.  The North has done much—­her opinion of slavery in the abstract is known.  But in regard to the South, we adopt the opinion of the New York Evangelist—­“We have advanced so far, that the cause apparently waits for a more effectual door to be thrown open than has been yet.”  We are about to point you to that more effectual door.  Look around you, and behold the bosoms of your loving wives, heaving with untold agonies!  Hear the cries of your poor children!  Remember the stripes your fathers bore.  Think of the torture and disgrace of your noble mothers.  Think of your wretched sisters, loving virtue and purity, as they are driven into concubinage, and are exposed to the unbridled lusts of incarnate devils.  Think of the undying glory that hangs around the ancient name of Africa:—­and forget not that you are native-born American citizens, and as such, you are justly entitled to all the rights that are granted to the freest.  Think how many tears you have poured out upon the soil which you have cultivated with unrequited toil, and enriched with your blood; and then go to your lordly enslavers, and tell them plainly, that YOU ARE DETERMINED TO BE FREE.  Appeal to their sense of justice, and tell them that they have no more right to oppress you, than you have to enslave them.  Entreat them to remove the grievous burdens which they have imposed upon you, and to remunerate you for your labor.  Promise them renewed diligence in the cultivation of the soil, if they will render to you an equivalent for your services.  Point them to the increase of happiness and prosperity in the British West Indies, since the act of Emancipation.  Tell them in language which they cannot misunderstand, of the exceeding sinfulness of slavery, and of a future judgment, and of the righteous retributions of an indignant God.  Inform them that all you desire, is FREEDOM, and that nothing else will suffice.  Do this, and for ever after cease to toil for the heartless tyrants, who give you no other reward but stripes and abuse.  If they then commence the work of death, they, and not you, will be responsible for the consequences.  You had far better all die—­die immediately, than live slaves, and entail your wretchedness upon your posterity.  If you would be free in this generation, here is your only hope.  However much you and all of us may desire it, there is not much hope of Redemption without the shedding of blood.  If you must bleed, let it all come at once—­rather, die freemen, than live to be slaves.  It is impossible, like the children of Israel, to make a grand Exodus from the land of bondage.  THE PHARAOHS ARE ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BLOOD-RED WATERS!  You cannot remove en masse, to the dominions of the British Queen—­nor can you pass through Florida, and overrun Texas, and at last find peace in Mexico.  The propagators of American slavery are spending their blood and treasure, that they may plant the black flag in the heart of Mexico, and riot in the halls of the Montezumas.  In the language of the Rev. Robert Hall, when addressing the volunteers of Bristol, who were rushing forth to repel the invasion of Napoleon, who threatened to lay waste the fair homes of England, “Religion is too much interested in your behalf, not to shed over you her most gracious influences.”
