for the most horrid crimes,--a justifier of the most appalling barbarity,--a 
sanctifier of the most hateful frauds,--and a dark shelter under, which the 
darkest, foulest, grossest, and most infernal deeds of slaveholders find the 
strongest protection. Were I to be again reduced to the chains of slavery, next 
to that enslavement, I should regard being the slave of a religious master the 
greatest calamity that could befall me. For of all slaveholders with whom I have 
ever met, religious slaveholders are the worst. I have ever found them the 
meanest and basest, the most cruel and cowardly, of all others. It was my 
unhappy lot not only to belong to a religious slaveholder, but to live in a 
community of such religionists.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/3E450B0D-1111-4C6D-A6A8-90E153D8A2BA/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
