that deed; nor do we believe that the death-watch will ever tick in the
ear of freedom in Massachusetts.

_Resolved_, That in the acquiescence of many at the North in the entire
justice of a universal massacre, by the slaves, of their masters,
including women and children, we recognize a state of preparedness for
the proscription and banishment of all who do not come up to the high
abolition standard; but that in carrying out that project, we ought
first to seek the reclamation of the victims, and therefore that due
inquiry ought to be made concerning the most effective modes of
persuasion, as, for example, thumb-screws, racks, wheels, scorpions,
water-dropping for the head, bags of snakes, tweezers, and steel-pointed
beds, it being apparent that our agony for the slave cannot be satisfied
except by his liberation, or by the forcible subjection to us of all who
oppose it. And we do hereby request all the friends of freedom now
travelling in despotic countries to make inquiry as to the most approved
methods of persuading the mind by appeals to it through the
sensibilities of the flesh, and to be prepared with this information
against the time when the sublime march of abolition philanthropy shall
arrive at the limits of forbearance with all the Northern advocates of
oppression.
XI.
Whereas no one who holds slaves can be a Christian; and whereas Abraham,
Isaac, and Jacob were slave-holders, Abraham himself having owned more
slaves than any Southerner; and whereas a synonyme of heaven, in the New
Testament, is "Abraham's bosom;" and whereas no true friend of freedom
can consistently have Christian communion with slave-holders,
_Resolved_, That we look with deep interest to the introduction among us
of the principles of the Hindoo philosophy and religion (including the
transmigration of souls), through tentative articles in our magazines;
by which there is opening to us a way of escape from that heaven one
exponent of which is, to lie in the bosom of a slave-holder.
