Riassunto

Excerpt from Address Delivered at the Re-Union Convention: Of the Old Abolitionists of Eastern Ohio and Western Pennsylvania, October 1st, 1879, at Alliance, Ohio

In taking aretrospective View as I have of the long strug gle in which the Abolitionists were brought into such danger ous prominence some persons, not well informed, may think that I have been harsh in my censure of the Church for the part she took against us, and in behalf of the abominations of Slavery. But I stand here to-day as an attorney for the speechless dead to defend their characters from the ignominy heaped upon them during a course of thirty years by their fellow citizens. Some ofthem in that holy war died in prison; some were branded; many were mobbed. They all died 1111 der a cloud of reproach, seeing only with the eye of faith the dawn ofthat day which we see in its meridian glory! In the persecutions which followed them to the grave it was the Church which led the way, and cried Steboy! To the dogs and no dogs have such sharp teeth and so ferocious a spirit as those which the Church breeds in her kennels! I would he faithless to our compatriots in the grave, if, on such an occa sion as the present, I did not defend them before this genera tion from the assaults which their eiemies made upon their. Characters and persons and which have never been confessed nor apologized for to this moment!
