Show "IT i true, as your mini ter, [Theodore Parker,] faithful and wellbeloved, has said, all the great charter of Humanity haYe been written in blood ; and therefore he ju tifies the shedding of blood. It is because they were written in blood- blood shed by their champions- that they have so often proved to be a dead letter ; because they have sanctioned the bloody arbitrament of the sword, the dear cau e of man's deliverance has to be fought for over and over again. Revolutions, effected by force, alway. end, sooner or later, in ret: tablishing the tyranny they undertake to overthrow. And our boa ted American Revolution is no exception to this truth, but an impressive instance of it." REv. \VILLIA)l II. FuRNESS. TI-IE ~ooh fiftg. VOICE OF KANSAS. |
