Such points as the last were to prove in course of time hardly less than a direct challenge to the different abolitionist organizations in the North, and more and more the Society was denounced as a movement on the part of slaveholders for perpetuating their institutions by doing away with the free people of color.
The whim of the senatorial candidate in choosing him for a companion he did not then try to account for. "Come, Mr. Stephen," said Mr. Lincoln, presently, "where do you hail from?" "Boston," said Stephen. "No!" said Mr. Lincoln, incredulously. "And how does it happen that you come to me with a message from a rank Abolitionist lawyer in St. Louis?" "Is the Judge a friend of yours, sir?"
"'Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. This single passage of Scripture should cause us to have respect for the rights of the slave. True Christian love is of an enlarged and disinterested nature. It loves all who love the Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity, without regard to color or condition." "Georgiana, my dear, you are an abolitionist, your talk is fanaticism!" said Mr.
Yet this man, while his conscience was accusing him while he was longing and praying for abolition did not dare open his mouth in public to urge it on! How many such men are there in our southern states men who are inwardly cheering on the abolitionist in his devoted work, and yet send up no voice to encourage him, but perhaps are traducing and denouncing him!
Abolitionist as I am, the intellectual character of Virginia has no warmer admirer than myself. Her great names, her moral trophies, the glories of her early day, the still proud and living testimonials of her mental power, I freely acknowledge and strongly appreciate.

A radical, uncompromising Abolitionist, he had frequently asserted that he would rather die than yield to a Rebel, and he kept his word in this as in everything else. As for him, it was probably the way he desired to die. No one believed more ardently than he that Whether on the scaffold high, Or in the battle's van; The fittest place for man to die, Is where he dies for man.
"Senator Winter's an Abolitionist. He hates the South with every breath he breathes." Betty nodded: "And prays God night and morning to give him greater strength with which to hate it harder yes " "But you're not so blind?" "There must be a little fire where there's so much smoke. A crazy fool might try to kill the new President."
As the war went on, and the abolitionist saw the "glory of the Lord" revealed in a way he had never hoped for, he saw at the same time, or rather ought to have seen, that the order he had lived to destroy could not have been a system of hellish wrong and fiendish cruelty; else the prophetic vision of the liberators would have been fulfilled, and the horrors of San Domingo would have polluted this fair land.
W-o-l, if its teu sign a warrant, hang a nigger, tar and feather an abolitionist, ride the British Consul out a town, or send a dozen vagrants to the whipping-post I'm thar. Anything my hand's in at!" incoherently mumbles this judicial dignitary. Mr.
