The Bible defences thrown around slavery by the professed ministers of the Gospel, do so torture common sense, Scripture and historical facts it were hard to tell whether absurdity, fatuity, ignorance, or blasphemy predominates, in the compound; each strives so lustily for the mastery, it may be set down a drawn battle. How often has it been bruited that the color of the negro is the Cain-mark, propagated downward. Cain's posterity started an opposition to the ark, forsooth, and rode out the flood with flying streamers! How could miracle be more worthily employed, or better vindicate the ways of God than by pointing such an argument, and filling out for slaveholders a Divine title-deed!
