Excerpt from The Duty of the Free States, or Remarks Suggested by the Case of the CreoleI respectfully ask your attention, fellow-citizens of the Free States, to a subject of great and pressing im portance. The case of the Creole, taken by itself, or separated from the principles which are complicated with it, however it might engage my feelings, would not have moved me to the present address. I am not writing to plead the cause of a hundred o...

Excerpt from Duty of the Free States: Or Remarks Suggested by the Case of the CreoleThis statement of the case of the Creole is derived chie¿y from the testimony of the officers and crew ofthe vessel, and very naturally falls under suspicion of being colored, in part, by prejudice and passion. We must hear the other side, and compare all the witnesses, before we can understand the whole case. The main facts, however, cannot be misunderstood. T...

Excerpt from The Works of William E. Channing, Vol. 2 The first question to be proposed by a rational being is, not what is profitable, but what is Right. Duty must be primary, prominent, most conspicuous among the objects of human thought and pursuit. If we cast it down from its supremacy, if we inquire first for our interests, and then for our duties, we shall certainly err. We can never see the right clearly and fully, but by making it our...

Excerpt from The Duty of the Free States, Vol. 2I insist on this, because the feeling of individual re sponsibility is very much lost in consequence of the excessive deference of the private man to the govern ment under which he lives.

What the government ...

Excerpt from The Evil of Sin Proverbs 14: 9. "Fools make a mock at sin." My aim in this discourse is simple, and may be expressed in a few words. I wish to guard you against thinking lightly of sin. No folly is so monstrous, and yet our exposure to it is great. Breathing an atmosphere tainted with moral evil, seeing and hearing sin in our daily walks, we are in no small danger of overlooking its malignity. This malignity I would set before y...
