There Must Be No Compromise With Slavery - None Whatever. Nothing Is Gained, Everything Is Lost, By Subordinating Principle To Expedience.

What Shall Be Said, Then, Of Those Who Insist Upon Ignoring The Question Of Slavery As Not Involved In This Deadly Feud, And Maintain That The Only Issue Is, The Support Of The Government And The Preservation Of The Union? Surely, They Are "fools And Blind"; For It Is Slaveholders Alone Who Have Conspired To Seize The One, And Overturn The Other. As Long As The Enslavement Of A Single Human Being Is Sanctioned In The Land, The Curse Of God Will Rest Upon It.

I Will Be As Harsh As Truth And As Uncompromising As Justice.

Be Faithful, Be Vigilant, Be Untiring In Your Efforts To Break Every Yoke, And Let The Oppressed Go Free. Come What May - Cost What It May - Inscribe On The Banner Which You Unfurl To The Breeze, As Your Religious And Political Motto - "no Compromise With Slavery! No Union With Slaveholders

My Crime Is That I Will Not Go With The Multitude To Do Evil. My Singularity Is That When I Say That Freedom Is Of God And Slavery Is Of The Devil, I Mean Just What I Say. My Fanaticism Is That I Insist On The American People Abolishing Slavery, Or Ceasing To Prate On The Rights Of Man.
