Overview
Excerpt from American Slavery: Demonstrations in Favor of Dr. Cheever, in Scotland; Letter of Sympathy From Distinguished Clergymen and Other Gentlemen; Speeches at Meetings in Edinburgh and Glasgow, by Drs; Candlish, Guthrie, Alexander, Buchanan, and SmythThe Lord Provost briefly stated the object of the meeting, which, he was happy to say, was not of a very usual character in Edinburgh. They were called together to express sympathy with a Christian minister in very'peculiar circumstances; a man well known to the people of this country by his writings, and by his admirable illustrations, he believed the best of all others, of John Bun yan, and one who at the present time needed all the sympathy and any encouragement that could be given him. [applause] After remarking that it was by no means uncommon or extraor dinary for the people of this country publicly to express their approbation or disapprobation of events in other lands, in proof of which he ih stanced the case of the Jew boy, Mortara, and the remonstrance they made in the case of those who were tried and imprisoned in foreign coun tries for reading the Bible, his lordship went on to express his astonishment that, in the United States of America, which vaunted so loudly of their free dom, civil, political, and religious, there should not only be a toleration of the abominable system of slavery, but that when Christian men opened their mouths to condemn it, they were not only not sympathized with, but were themselves condemned by public Opinion.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
