A historical issue from The Philanthropist weekly notes subscription details and editorial contact in Cincinnati. It recounts a maritime voyage to Guadaloupe, referencing a slaver ship and a disease outbreak among crew, with vivid but bleak imagery.
A stormy voyage vivid with light and dread. A lone helmsman and crew sense relief at a sail, while in the distance a Creole woman glows with passion. Yet the world remains haunted as a slaver roams, his ghastly visage haunted by divine curse.
The piece argues for stronger federal action against the slave trade, detailing British and Spanish involvement, Texas and Havana connections, and a call for Congress to exercise its constitutional power to regulate commerce to end the traffic. It cites Henry Bartow's death in Texas and urges public petition.
A 1837 Methodist Protestant gathering in Allegheny Station adopts resolutions denouncing slavery as a sin, endorsing immediate emancipation, and urging memorials to the Annual Conference. Committee formed to draft a memorial and secure support from church leaders.
The passage asserts no definite details on trade at other ports but claims the nation was deeply guilty of violating its solemn vow made in peril to oppose the iniquitous traffic. It frames the issue as a moral failing of the entire nation.
The Vermont Telegraph reports the Shafti sbury Baptist Association at its 57th anniversary in Pownal Vermont on June 7 and 8 passed resolutions denouncing slaveholding as sin and urging churches to record the sin of slaveholding and to work for liberty for the oppressed. The resolutions urge Christians to reprove oppression and to strive for liberty and peace for captives.
