illustrate the bearings of Slavery upon the
personal Eecurity•Of the citizens of free States,
And Alpert the civil and religious liberties of
the American people.! ' 1
I am a native ol Kentucky and was ed -
cated there, butti*lliebenor of'tny parent',
who were not slaveholders i Mr cdueatio'n
was such as tii inOffiri. me ag,,ainst Slavery.;
About.twenty:years; Since I became a minis
-ter in the `.eauni+linal Presbyterian church.'
This ecclesiastical ij,ody is located at the South
west, and its ineniberis Jiave been, front the
beginning., with fete' 'exceptions, decidedly: in
favor of Slaves'y. Their. General assembly-
refuges to legislat on'this subject, on - the.plea
thaf, as a spiritual, body, they have no cogn
i7,allee of civil matters. During the,six years
of my ministerial! labors in Kentucky, I was
'known to be unfriendly to Slavery, though
favorite , the scheme Of' Colonization Some
times I preached tin the subject,.which made
ine-an:object .of snspihion,. and subjected me
I to some obloquy; butt met was no serious
,molestation. V i t my removal from my na
tive State was owinwto my aversion to the
practice of slaveliolding. During my knit-teen
years' iniaistrY in Princeton, Indiana,q.used
MN . lillerty to, - preaCh more, freely against
Slavery than I litel del - ie previously. 1 en-
Countered 06 . stirien'S

brethren, until the rise of 'the excitement
'growin , out of the Nebraska question. Then
they began to. cry out that it was a ' political
question, which Ought not enure into the
pulpit. It. was init Until afier this time that
the events took iplace . whiCh have involved
me in troub?e. ; . ' ' , ~
.
In May 1854,1Thoinas Begirt') of Render
sem, Kentiicky, Was arrested and imprisoned'
on suspicion of siding. two female Slaves,with
their children: to eselipe from -Union county,
Ky., into Canad#. An '.indignation' meeting!
.Was then held; and a Committee appointed tai
notify his wife- aid tWo little dain4iters, to
leave the• State itithid a fete days, which were
specified, or, abide the 'consequences. She
), accordingly retn)oved. with her children to In,
diana, and crime to Princeton, the place of
my residence. She was then a stranger to
me, but - of course 1 , befriended - her. , A knowl
'edge of this factwas;conrcyed - to Union co.,
