Excerpt from The Abolitionists, and Their Relations to the War

In the very generous notice of this lecture last Sunday, by Henry Ward Beecher, he said that he fully accorded with me in my principles, which strike at the foundation of slavery. All slavery is wrong, unjust, immoral, and unchristian, and ought to terminate, but he expressed some difference of opinion in regard to my methods for its abolition. I am confident that, upon further re?ection and investigation, he will find my methods of Abolition are as unexceptionable as my principles. My method is simply when I see a slaveholder, I tell him he is bound by every consideration of justice and humanity to let the oppressed go free. That is God's method, and I think there can be no improvement upon it. And when I find an accomplice of the slaveholder sus~ taining him in his iniquity, I bid him repent, and demand that h bring forth fruits meet for his repentance. That is my method.
