Excerpt from A Brief Review of the First Annual Report of the American Anti-Slavery SocietyWhen the Jews could not crucify the Lord of glory, either by perverting their own law, or by suborning false witnesses, they charged the meek and lowly Prince of Peace with treason against Cæsar, and by the agreement between Herod and Pilate, they accomplished their hellish design. The martyrs of the first three centuries, the witnesses of subsequent periods, and the Reformers and Confessors of more recent times, all suffered and were tortured upon the same groundless and malicious pretext. This base but mischievous allegation is still vociferated by every sinner against Christians, expressly to impede the progress of truth, freedom and religion. It is not less rife and pernicious now, and in this country, than in the dark ages and under European tyrants.This deduction flows from the perusal of a late pamphlet, entitled, "A brief Review of the first Annual Report of the American Anti-Slavery Society, &c., by David M. Reese, " than which a more malignant tissue of calumny has never been issued from the American press. This overflowing corruption of an unfeeling slanderer is masked under the garb of religion, which renders the hypocrisy of the author equally loathsome as his impudence.This pamphlet by Dr. Reese, like all his other writings, would be totally unworthy of notice, did not the sanction given to it by persons, who claim respect, add to it an imposing character which conceals its innate turpitude. This farrago of untruth and spite combines all the insolence, recklessness and knavery of a Charlatan, who, provided that he can pocket his money for his murderous nostrums, laughs at the credulity of those whom he gulls with his death-dealing imposture. David M. Reese's sole object is to write himself into notoriety, that he may enlarge the amount of his professional fees, and as all his friends know, he would become an anti-slavery partisan, or any thing else, provided he could have his price. In fact, this pretended review is the furious tirade of a man raving in the paroxysms of an incurable fever, brought on by the brimstone materials with which he has long been surfeited: it is one continually repeated allegation that the American friends of human liberty are traitors to the United States, and friends of the sexual intercourse between the different races of mankind, and therefore they ought to be exterminated.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
