Every man is conscious that he ought to be a Christian, therefore

Christianity,
England's inconsistency. John Bull a bigoted, meddlesome old
hypocrite. "Charity begins at home." Treatment of free negroes North,

Harsh epithets applied to Southern slaveholders by abolitionists,
The Sacred Record. God alone was competent to decide what was best for
