Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mr. Allen's Speech on Ministers Leaving a Moral Kingdom to Bear Testimony Against Sin: Liberty in Danger, From the Publication of Its Principles; The Constitution a Shield for Slavery; And the Union Better Than Freedom and Righteousness Mr. President: I read the deep interest taken in the question before this Convention, in the general aspect of its members, and in the solemn stillness of the respectable assembly which throng the place of our deliberations; and, if I do not greatly mistake, I find in this hall no unfaithful index of the interest felt in the large community in which Divine Providence has cast our lot. I cannot, nor would I, disguise the deep feelings of my own heart which have brought me hither, which the progress of this debate calls forth, and which look forward to the vote that shall be taken on the momentous subject of slavery. I could wish that, while we all profess to have the same deep sense of the sin of slavery, there might be equal harmony in making public, through this Convention, the sentiments which we privately entertain. This unanimous public expression of our sentiments it seems evident we may not expect, and, as appearances are such, I hope no member will feel the less free to declare his thoughts to the world because others may think it expedient to withhold theirs.
