Book excerpt: Excerpt from Abolitionism Exposed: Corrected It may be considered a work of supererogation to attempt to expose Abolitionism any further than has been done by the able author of "Abolitionism Exposed," a gentleman who had the boldness to come forward, single-handed and alone, as champion against a host of abolitionists, and boldly proclaimed he would prove the "principles of abolitionism injurious to the slaves themselves, dangerous to this nation, and contrary to the express commands of God." But being deprived of the privilege of meeting them in public debate by the burning of Pennsylvania Hall, and "convinced that the best interests of the country and of common humanity itself are involved in the question of abolitionism," he has, with the promptness of the true patriot, published a large pamphlet, developing at considerable length, with his usual profundity and eloquence, the pernicious tendency of these obnoxious principles. The only apology which the writer of this pamphlet offers for retouching the subject is, his having travelled and resided in the south, which have given him opportunities for the personal observation of slavery, which it is presumed the learned author of Abolitionism Exposed has not enjoyed. It would seem, from the silence of the abolitionists since Dr. Sleigh wrote his work, that they are all killed off, or at least stricken dumb. Else why have they not answered it? Does it not look rather suspicious for men, who pretend to be lovers of truth, and are frequently prating about free discussion, to shrink from discussion when an opportunity is offered them? They certainly cannot plead for excuse, that the work of a gentleman who has frequently signalized himself in public debate, and is also celebrated in the literary and scientific world, is not of sufficient importance to merit a reply from them. The only legitimate conclusion is, that they cannot answer it, - that it has completely used them up; and they have not a word to say for themselves.
