j 1 one more passage in the mosaic code claims | our particular notice this is in dent 23 : 15 | i 10 and runs thus : — thou shall not deliver i unto his master the servant which is escaped 1 from his master unto thee he shall dwell withg t thee even among you in that place which he $ shall choose is one of thy gates where it likethl 1 bim best thou shalt not oppress him s the first inquiry of course is : where doesg | his master live ? among the hebrews ori % anions foreigners ? the lansiiajje of the pass-s ■ o o o d ib | age fully developes this and answers the queg-b i tion he " has escaped from his master union | lhe hebrews the text says — thee i e israel ;| f he shall dwell with thee among you — in one ofs i thy gates of course then he is an immigrants i and did not dwell among them before his fight | if he had been a hebrew servant belonging log a hebrew the whole face of the thing would bp changed restoration or restitution if we | may judge by the tenor of othct properly la\vs among the hebrews would have surely heen % enjoined but be that as it may the language | ofthe text puts it beyond a doubt that the ser i vant is a foreigner and has fled from a healhan | master this entirely changes the complexion i ofthe case the hebrews were cod's chosen | i people and were the only nation on earth whicha worshipped the only living and true god — j brewscould the fugitive slave cometolhe know | ledge and worship ofthe only living & true cod | on this ground as they were the living depos | ailory of the aracles of god great preference 1 si was given to them and great caution exercised | | to keep them from all tangling alliances and 1 b connection with the heathen in case a slave 1 from them and came to the hebrews | i two things were taken into consideration ac 1 cording lo the views of the jewish legislator | the first was that the treatment of slaves a among the heathen was far more severe and 3 rigorous than it could lawfully be under thea mosaic law the heathen master possessed ihel power of life and death of scourging or impris-s oning or tutting lo excessive oil even to any ex-p lllent lhat he pleased not so among the he-g abrews humanity pleaded for lhe protection ofg gthe fugitive the second and most important was lhat only among the he-|j the clause which says thou shall notg floppress him of course means that he shall she denied none of the privileges of a residents lin the land and that he shall not be subjected tog gjpeculiar taxation or labor the verses before ius do not say that such a refugee servant shall she circumcised ; but the admission of him lotj at he privileges of a freeman implies this theg aservants of hebrews whether of domestic org afore ign origin were all to be circumcised gen 6 117 12 — 15 of course the admitted dcuizenfj in the present case would be required to com u iply with such an injunction by the rile ing he became incorporated into the jew g jish theocratical commonwealth and thereforeg jgeniiiled as even bond-men were lo all its reli-g agious privileges moses therefore would notg gsufler him lo be forced back into the darkness 1 sof heathenism nor allow that he should be de-1 slivered up to an enraged heathen master w'ass he not in he right ? 3 but if we now put the case viz that of es-l gcape from a hebrew master who claimed andg henjoyed hebrew rights is not the case greatly achaiiged ? who could take from him the pro-b iperty which the mosaic law gave him a rights gto hold ? neither the bond-man himself norg sthe neighbor of his master to whom the fugitive 3might come reclamation of him could bea made and therefore must be enforced with this view ofthe matter before us ho\v can we appeal to the passage in question toa justify yea even to urge the retention of f«gi-i stive bond-men in our own country we are bone nation — one so called christian nation — f ichristianity is a national religion among us — 1 l do not mean that all men are real christians gor that christianity is established by law ; but 1 mean that immeasurably the greatest part ofa hour population north and south profess to re-i aspect christianity and appeal to its precepts kas a test of morals and as furnishing us withg glhe rules of life what slate in the union gdoes not at least tacitly admit christianity to ghold such a place ? when a fugitive bondman then comes to its kof the north from a master at the south in what irelation do we of lhe north stand to the south cern master are our fellow citizens and breth-l gren of the south to be accounted as

norlbj gbut this i do know from personal observation f made at the south to some extent and from a acquaintance with people of thea south that there are among them many warm shearls and hands in the cause of true christian aity i here is no state where such people may not be found and many of them too a bond sman fleeing from them to us is a case ofjustl rthe same kind as would have been presented i among the hebrews if a hebrow bondman had fled from the tribe of judah to that of ben jamin we do not send back the refugee from the south to a heathen nation or tribe there is many a

the mailer is less grievous the responsibility however for bad treatmenl of the slave rests not in the least degree on us of the north the mosaic law does not j i authorize us to reject the claims of our fellow j countrymen and citizens for strayed or stolen j property — properly authorized and guarantied as such by southern states to their respective citizens these states are not heathen wei have acknowledged them as brethren and fel-i low citizens of the great community a fugi live from them is not a fugitive from an an idolatrous and polytheistic people a«d even if the bible had neither said nor im-jj plied anything in relation to the mailer the sol lemn compact which we have made befores heaven and earth lo deliver up fugitives when they are men held to service in lhe stale from which ihey fled is enough to settle the questions ol legal right on the part of the master what-1 sever we may think of his claim when viewedg in the light of christianity but of this morel in the sequel y in the meantime i cannot quit this topic without adding a few remarks on the assump-l tion lhat every slaveholder must he denied theg title of a christian and be denied the regard which is due to a christian brother it is not m too much to say that no man in his sober sen-p ses cue believe or say lhat there are no chris-g tians in the south who are owners of slaves there are thousands of masters and mistresses of exemplary christian lives and conversation | there are many thousands moreover who have never been taught to doubt and never haves doubted the lawfulness of slavery they havel itfelt that they violated no sacred obligation inl holding slaves provided they should treat theiiim in a christian manner whether ihey haveg neglected their duty in pulling by all discussion ofthe subject and all serious examination intos it is another and a different question 1 su f»-s pose there are christians elsewhere besides ing i the south who neglect some of their duties and who are not absolutely perfect if per-u fcclion is the only proper lest of a christian jstale i fear that we of the north might havel jour t ilie to such a name called in question — 1 bul i will say all that i intend now to say mil it his subject by adverting to two notable cases which may at once serve to illustrate and toll justify my assertions f the celebrated and eminently pious johnh newton of london was master of a slave g ship that went to africa several times underl his command be tells us that until the ques-g lion was raised iu england by vvilberforce ands others he never once had a doubt in his miudg of the lawfulness and propriety of the cuineas trade to come nearer home ; who does notg know that the immortal edwards — immortal 1 fas much for his great piety as for his intellectual 1 powers — left behind him in manuscript an es-g say on the slave-trade probably still extant in jwhich he defended the trade with all his abiii ty 0:1 the same ground that moses required h li'he fugitive heathen slave to be detained viz jon the ground lhat il would bring the perishing heathen within the reach of christian inllu-p ence ? that his logic in this case would not well compare with that in some of his printed a treatises i am fully satisfied but the sinipleg i'and proper question is : did he intend anyg wrong had he any motives of self-interest which led him lo argue as he did concerning ihe slave trade ? unhesitatingly we answer bolhs questions in the negative may it not be then ! that there are some christians in the south who arc in thrf-same plight in which newton and he were for one i say emphatically —^ e =-| when will the lime come in which men shall cease to pronounce sweeping judgments ot con demnation on their fellow men without examin ing into their case and giving them a lair and impartial hearing ? i earnestly hope the day j break is approaching although at present ii i seems to be receding but — it is sometimes darkest just before day p thus far i have treated only of iiebrews made slaves among hebrews with the excep tion of one peculiar case of a foreign refugee • i now come after exhibiting the full state ofi things among the jews in respect to slaves off hebrew origin and the many modifications which moses inserted in his laws to mollify the a hardships and rigors of iheir condition : tocon ssider the condition ot slaves who were of hea lhen origin here the abettors of the proposition thatg fall slavery is a malum in se and is to be raiikedj wiih muider and robbery will find matter ofi difficulty with not a few ofthe high-8 toned abolitionists i fear i shall bring mosesjj much discredit by quoting his enactment | bul here it is and it would nol become me to goffer an apology for bim let him speak for himself : lev 25 11 both thy bond-men and hv bond maids which thou shall have shall be of the heathen lhat are round about you ; of ihem shall ye buy bond-men and bofrti-maids 45 ■ moreover of the children of the strangers

and bond-maids of the heath-j en around and out of palestine within it but when moses says : " ye shall buy bond men and bond maids he is not to lie understood as giving command but permission our trans jators have here made lhe future tense in lie brew imperative and as it were jussive ; but every one acquainted with hebrew knows ih.it j:!ie put tense is erv often permissive i e it bis used as a subjunctive mood however on the libeity to buy there is no restraint whate-j jjver when bought slaves are declared to be j heritable property : to belong lo the children j o the owners " to inherit them for a losses sion then follows the clause which rivets i fast the tenure of ihe property : " they sh till be your bond men forever the heathen bond i men are not put on a level wilh them the i tenure of ihem is perpetual the tenure is of ! heritable property " the middle walls ol par i j tition between jews and gentiles was not yet broken down but just erected the timet j for declaring lhat

lei those answer this question who decide a priori what the bible ought to speak and then turn it over in order to see how they can make it speak what they wish but there is no bending or twisting of

it should sullieejj lhat ihey are the lord's freemen certainly this is not much like the advice org the conduct ol most ofthe abolitionists among us they excite slaves in every possible wave to change
