It is because I love this religion that I hate the slaveholding, the woman-whipping, the mind-darkening, the soul-destroying religion that exists in the southern states of America.

It is because I regard the one as good, and pure, and holy, that I cannot but regard the other as bad, corrupt, and wicked.
Loving the one I must hate the other; holding to the one I must reject the other.
I may be asked, why I am so anxious to bring this subject before the British public--why I do not confine my efforts to the United States?
My answer is, first, that slavery is the common enemy of mankind, and all mankind should be made acquainted with its abominable character.

My next answer is, that the slave is a man, and, as such, is entitled to your sympathy as a brother.

All the feelings, all the susceptibilities, all the capacities, which you have, he has.

He is a part of the human family.
