ing and inquisitive public, not doubting that we might have said much more in support of slavery from that eternal law which governs all mat ter; but for this time and this occasion, our developments and reasonings have been aimed to culminate in such form, as to give the reader a panorama of the organization of matter in the beginning of all things, regardless of man or of consequences, but with one general, absorbing desire, to make or cause man to understand the order of creation, and the obligations of man on earth, to everything created inferior and subordinate to him, consequently to make him feel more dependent on his Creator's will. In this dissertation throughout, feeling that we have discharged our duty to God and man, and have opened the vista, in order to discharge our duties to existences of colors bearing in view this philosophy of slavery, as founded upon the order of creation and of the Constitution, we shall take a long farewell of you, our countrymen, hoping that we shall not have labored in vain! If the principles which we would suggest, on application of certain high officials, should be fully and honestly carried out, in six months from their full acceptance by such officials, we will guarantee peace and a restoration of the Union of the United States, as the evident result of reason and common sense, To the Caesars, twenty-eight States can pay tribute no longer! If this be treason, make the most of such. In the adoption of the Constitution we were supposed to be equals. We do not desire woman nor man worshipers to give us credit for writing, except as men should write, in view of the order of creation; we have set out to do good; and by the Eternal, we will do it, in defiance of the devil, and in obedience to our Creator! Ye Abolition atheists! be careful of your ammunition; we have visited the sulphuric beds of volcanic mountains; our ammunition will never fail; it is multiplying! CONTENTS. PART I.
