I am not averse to having the good opinion of my fellow creatures.

I am not averse to being kindly regarded by all men; but I am bound, even at the hazard of making a large class of religionists in this country hate me, oppose me, and malign me as they have done--I am bound by the prayers, and tears, and entreaties of three millions of kneeling bondsmen, to have no compromise with men who are in any shape or form connected with the slaveholders of America.

I expose slavery in this country, because to expose it is to kill it.

Slavery is one of those monsters of darkness to whom the light of truth is death.

Expose slavery, and it dies.
