Tbey are. ..refused the common rights of citizenship -which the whiles 'enjoy. . n : We must quicken all tho springs of feeling in the free States in behalf of "hum an liberty, and create a public. eutirnentT .based upon truth and true manhood.,. For if we act to any gqpd purpose on tbe minds of the South we hare got to do it- through a salutary , and' public sentiment in the North;' When we have 1 corrected our own practice, and set an exam ple of the right spirit, then we shall have a position from which to exert a beneficial pub, lie influence on the minds of the Southern slavboidera. .

If you wish to work for tbe enfranchisement of the African, seek to make bim a better man. Teach him to be an obedient servant and an honest, true, Christian man. These virtues are God's stepstones to liberty. That man whom Chrsit first makes free, has a better chance to be civilly tree tban any other.- To make a slave morose, fractious,! disobedient, and un willing to work, is the way to defer his emanci emancipation. - pation. emancipation. We do not ask the slave to be satis satisfied - fied satisfied with slavery. But feeling its grievous bur burden, - den, burden, we ask bim to endure it while he must, ' as unto God and not nnto .men;' not because be does not love liberty, but because he does cot love Christ enough to sbow forth bis spirit nnder a grievous wrong.' Poor slaves will never breed respect, sympathy and eman cipation, Truth,, honor, fidelity, manhood these things in the slave will prepare him lor freedom. It ia the low animal condition of the African that enslaves him; It is moral en enfranchisement - franchisement enfranchisement that will break his bonds.

The coDdi--tion of the slave nrtist be changed, but the' change cannot go in any.part of tbe comma-, nity alone.. There must be change in the law, change in the church, change in the upper clashes, change in the middle, and change in all, classes..
