FANATICAL
At a Baptist Association lately held in Philadelphia, among other resolutions the following was offered:
Resolved, That the Son of God was manifested for the purpose of destroying the works of the Devil, and consequently that master-piece of Satan, American Slavery, must ultimately be annihilated by the truth of God's word or by the fire of his wrath.
After a lengthy and violent debate, it was voted down, and so too, should have been, the amiable gentleman in robes who offered it. A disseminator of false creeds and an incendiary at heart, comports not with what should be the character of him, who affects to be a leader of the flock.
