A critique argues that abolitionists who condemn slavery yet do not vote against slave laws resemble slaveholders. The piece links anti slavery rhetoric to political inaction and moral inconsistency, urging consistency between belief and action.
An 1838 report recounts two self-emancipated South Carolina women Edward Abney and March Abney seeking homes in Ohio with character attestations from Waddy Thompson and others. It details free papers, labor skills, and local schooling for colored children, while abridging pro slavery college histories and the fate of institutions like Lane and Princeton amid abolitionist pressures.
The article argues abolitionists must push political action to end slavery, criticizing opponents who claim action is impossible. It urges vigor in petitioning Congress and state legislatures, rejects forming a separate party, and contends abolitionists should influence both major parties to abolish slavery while preserving the Union.
