We offer our best acknowledgments to the anonymous author, and solicit a continuance of favors. <xsl-text></xsl-text>For the Liberator <xsl-text></xsl-text>. ARE YOU OPPOSED TO SLAVERY! Scarcely a man can be found, north and east of Maryland, who will not tell you he is heartily opposed to slavery, and would do <xsl-text></xsl-text>almost <xsl-text></xsl-text>any thing to put an end to it. But is it <xsl-text></xsl-text>slavery <xsl-text></xsl-text>to which we are so much opposed? or is it rather to the <xsl-text></xsl-text>colored people? <xsl-text></xsl-text>Perhaps it would be well for us to know which. If the former, why not use some effectual measures, instead of raising money to <xsl-text></xsl-text>send away <xsl-text></xsl-text>FREE BLACKS, as well as slaves, to Liberia? Do we not deceive ourselves in <xsl-text></xsl-text>thinking <xsl-text></xsl-text>our opposition is to slavery? Suppose the <xsl-text></xsl-text>only <xsl-text></xsl-text>way (almost) to put an end, an everlasting end to the evil, should be proposed— (and it may have been a hundred times, for aught I know) and that, too, a method which would cost us but <xsl-text></xsl-text>few <xsl-text></xsl-text>dollars and cents— would we <xsl-text></xsl-text>adopt <xsl-text></xsl-text>it?— would YOU adopt it, reader? I fear we should falter; and the multitude of opponents of slavery, would dwindle into a very small number, if they did not 'vanish into thin air.' The truth is, this subject has not been <xsl-text></xsl-text>talked <xsl-text></xsl-text>of enough. We have not sounded each other's opinions on it sufficiently; and there is no way to beget a habit of <xsl-text></xsl-text>thinking <xsl-text></xsl-text>on any thing, like frequent conversations. Our powers of thought and speech are as much improved by exercise, as is the memory. We may deplore the evils of slavery, form Colonization Societies, and now and then talk of the criminality of the oppression; but so long as we do nothing more— so long as we <xsl-text></xsl-text>use their products <xsl-text></xsl-text>— men will be held in involuntary servitude. This is the whole secret. Are you opposed to slavery? then neither 'tough, taste, nor handle,' the price of blood. Do you ask, 'How can I do this, seeing many of the comforts of life are the product of their labor?' Go to work--form Societies, pledging each member neither to buy, sell, nor use slave productions: get as many to join you in the effort as you can: and when it is seen that men are taking such a stand, FREE LABOR will become as fashionable at the south as in our own state; and cotton, rice, sugar, molasses, &c. &c. will be furnished to equal the demand, produced by free men. Let the benevolent rich men, (and there is an occasional anomaly of the kind) establish manufactories to work none but free cotton--establish warehouses and stores for the sale of their goods and other free productions--and the poor will bear a proportion of the loss for awhile, should there be any, in purchasing at the small additional cost that may accrue thereby. This is the way. Call the idea 'chimerical,' or what else you please--your conscience will hold you to its correctness. Some of the articles, commonly produced by slave labor, are already to be had by a little trouble, with which the tears and blood of the oppressed are not mingled. And it is for us to call for them. We can get some sugar, molasses, coffee, a little cotton, and, perhaps, rice,--raised by free men. And should we fail to get enough, no matter at how low a rate the slave articles may be procured, do without. But I live in the country; I can get none of these things unless such as were raised by slaves. Then it is time something was done. Stop where you are for humanity's, for conscience sake! Is oppression wrong? Is slavery an evil--an crime!-- Could you "Have a slave to fan you when you sleep, And tremble when you wake?" The man who secretes or partakes of stolen goods is ranked with the theif, and punished with the thief. Would you not secrete stolen property--and will you perpetuate slavery, by using the price of blood? Does your appetite rise in opposition to your better judgment, reasons, and conscience, and reply--'What have I to do with the labor by which the articles I want are produced?' Hear not its depraved and guilty demands, lest it drive thy opposition to slavey far from thee; lest it compel thee to smile, while the unfortunate descendant of Africa is loaded with chains and stripes; lest it make thee willing to oppress thy fellow for a cup of coffee, a little sugar, molasses, or rice! Ay, and it may be, that while you are professing religion--that which requires us to 'do unto others as we would they should do unto us.' What is past we may have done in ignorance; even so that it hath been winked at--but God now commandeth all men every where to repent of this, as well as other wrongs. Whatever was done in that darkness may not be persisted in: the excuse is now taken away. See to it that you go to work. ANTI-SLAVERY.

Description An account of the resource It is time that all interested in agriculture, or commerce, or politics, should direct their attention to the subject of making sugar of beets. The notion was communicated to Bonaparte, on the 19th of March, 1811, by a Mr. Ishard; and by a decree of the Emperor, experimental factories were at once erected. Since that date, with some vicissitudes, this business has increased with extraordinary rapidity in France. At this time, it is computed that there are in France three hundred manufactories, producing annually, from 18 to 20,000,000 pounds of brown sugar, being about one-third of all the sugar used in that country; and so great is the ardor and success with which the business is prosecuted, that in three or four years, it will furnish the whole amount for home consumption, and begin to export. That this is true appears evident, from the notice which the French Minister of Finance, D'Argout, has given it, in bringing forward a bill imposing heavy taxes upon the sugar, and alleging as a reason, that unless some such duty belavied upon it, the colonial sugars (i.e. cane sugar) cannot compete with it, and the trade in sugars from the ladies must be entirely destroyed. Certainly the amount mad and making must be immense, to threaten the old colonial establishments with ruin! The beet contains on an average, about ten per cent, saccharine, and three per cent, molasses.  Three distinct objects are had in view in cultivating the beet. 1. The making of sugar. We give an abstract of the expenses and profits of one establishment. 500 tons of beet, at 83 20                       $1,000 00 Hire of laborers                                            400 40 Fuel                                                                   473 20 Material used in manufactory                 813 60 Rents, Sundries, &c.                                   392 80 Interest on capital borrowed                   450 00                                                                        ------------                                                                       $4,130 00 Received from sale of molasses,            pumices, &c.                                            750 00 Deducting this from the expendi-           tures, the outlay stands at            $3,380 00 This outlay has produced 50,000          pounds of sugar. 36,000lbs          of which, at 15 cents, and          14,000 do. 19 cents. produce,      $6,800 00                            Deducting                            3,380 00                                                                        ---------------                                    Profit.                        $3,420 00 2. The feeding of cattle.--Cattle, horses and sheep, fatten better on the pumice of beets, than upon any other food. 3. The improvement of the soil.--The weeding and working of the soil, in raising beets, produced a most healthful effect upon it. In these three respects, the cultivation of the beet is regarded as of the highest importance. It has already been introduced into our country. An association has been formed at Philadelphia (we believe) and has sent a gentleman to France to learn the process of sugar making. Quantities of seed have been sent thence, and distributed in this country; and preparations are being made for extensive manufacturing. The effects of this new business is to be felt in more ways than upon our commerce. 1. It will connect the fattening of cattle, stock-growing, with sugar and molasses making, as more profitable than distilling, and thus give a sidelong blow to the employment of capital in the manufacture of spirits. But-- 2. It is to have a very much higher bearing upon another subject. If it shall outrun the West India sugar, then our market will be supplied by two competing sugar departments, the Northern and the Southern. This brings Northern and Southern enterprise into competition, and fairly tries the relative values of slave-labor and free labor. It is said in France, that the beet will hold out acre for acre with the cane; but will slave labor on cane sugar, equal free labor upon beet sugar? If not--if Northern free labor can undersell Southern slave labor, and take from her the sugar market, it will cripple the Southwestern States in a very essential degree, and reduce the value of slaves; and very strongly tend to make them worthless. If, in addition, free labor could compete with slave labor on cottons, or some substitute, slave property would be an enormous taxation, rather than profitable, and would soon go into disuse. These changes in business afford much food for reflection, and much room for benevolent enterprise.

Title A name given to the resource Cases of Conscience Description An account of the resource <div> The Pennsylvania Freeman gives us a gentle h[?] for having so dull a conscience respecting the use of slave labor produce. It copies an item from a late No. of the Christian, and glances an arrow at us, as will be seen below. REFORMATORY.—The Editor of the Christian Freeman has been asked, on a case of conscience, whether it would be right for a strict temperance man to sell timber to a cooper to make up into rum casks. The Editor says he has not 'instinctive discernment' enough to decide so nice a point. We should think a plain NO was the-only tolerable answer. A man who well sell grain to be distilled into intoxicating liquor, or timber to encask it, fails to discountenance intemperance 'in all suitable ways.'— <xsl-text></xsl-text>Practical Christian.<xsl-text></xsl-text> The Practical Christian decides that point without any hesitation. One would think it quite as easy to say No, to the question, is it right for abolitionists to pay the slaveholder the price of the products of his stolen labor, because they are a little cheaper than the products of honest industry. Yet our good friend Ballou lacks the 'instinctive discernment' to answer this. Why can he not see as clearly the wrong of this connection with sin, as in the case he names? Surely it is quite as direct, and abstinence from it as practicable. Cannot our Free Produce friends discriminate correctly, or is the obfuscation all in <xsl-text></xsl-text>our <xsl-text></xsl-text>mental vision? We could not sell stave timber to work up into rum casks, or our grain to be manufactured into whiskey. Why? Because these uses of our stave timber and grain are <xsl-text></xsl-text>evil<xsl-text></xsl-text>, SINFUL; and we cannot be innocent in knowingly selling useful substances for sinful purposes. But the distiller has some old rejected liquor casks, which are suitable for keeping soap. We need casks for that purpose, which is a good purpose, and these are much cheaper than new ones. So we go and purchase his old ruin casks for soap barrels. We testify faithfully against his sinful business, and tell him that while we can sell him nothing to make a <xsl-text></xsl-text>bad <xsl-text></xsl-text>use of, we can sell to him or buy of him anything to make a <xsl-text></xsl-text>good <xsl-text></xsl-text>use of. We are inconsistent, are we? If we cannot furnish him for money our stave timber and grain to pervert to sinful uses, we cannot buy his rejected liquor casks to put to a <xsl-text></xsl-text>good <xsl-text></xsl-text>use! We do not understand such logic. Again; we cannot sell ship timber to build a known slaver, nor help kidnap slaves, nor furnish articles to be worked into slave whips, branding irons, torture collars and hand cuffs, nor recognize a slaveholder as a suitable member in the Christian Church, or in a republican State. But, says brother Free Producer, 'you can purchase and use cotton cloth manufactured out of cotton raised by slave labor! You have no scruples of conscience against this!' No. If we can buy it as an out-spoken anti-slavery man, without compromise or concealment, we have no scruples against doing so. It is a good thing, which we need for a good use, and which we obtain without abating or suppressing our testimony against slavery, or cotton mill oppression. 'But you know that the cotton was raised by slaveholders, by means of slave labor.' Yes, and we know that it was manufactured into cloth without paying all the operatives a full equivalent for their labor. Shall we therefore scruple to buy and use it for a good purpose? 'But you thereby and others in enriching the wicked cotton grower, and so confirm him in slave-holding.' Shall we not do the same thing if we trade at all with people who trade with slave-holders? Why not? We buy broadcloth which was paid for in England with southern cotton. The slaveholder sold his cotton to a trader, who took it to Liverpool, and exchanged it for broadcloth. He brought the broadcloth to Boston, whence it came to Milford, where we buy a piece of it for a new coal. In this case we do not enrich and encourage the slaveholder, do we? A slave-holder swaps a slave for four horses, or for ten silver watches, or for five bales of linen goods. Now we may innocently buy one of these horses, watches, or a bale of linen goods; but if we buy a cotton shirt, or a pint of rice, or a pound of sugar, we buy <xsl-text></xsl-text>stolen goods<xsl-text></xsl-text>, and as a partaker are guilty with the slaveholder of the great transgression. We confess we do not see how men and women of sense can reason in this way. We respect their tenderness of conscience, but we cannot respect their logic. If the fault is in our own head or heart, Heaven grant us a speedy deliverance. We want to go all lengths with a right conscience. But we do not believe a thoroughly enlightened conscience ever quarrels with a thoroughly enlightened reason. Brother Freeman, if we are wild and inconsistent, do not let us off without due correction. </div> Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived The Liberator Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 12.1.1848 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Description An account of the resource As the season approaches for the conclusion of the experiments with the Sorghum, or Sugar Cane, much interest is felt on the subject. There is now no doubt that this plant can be most successfully cultivated in this latitude; and, should it prove easy to granulate or crystalize the sugar from the juice of the cane, the experiments will be entirely complete. It is true that Dr. Jackson, of Boston, and some other chemists of that class, have assumed that only glucose or grape sugar, could be made from the juice of the sorghum, but more careful and thorough investigations show that the greater portion of its saccharine matter is crystalizable. M. Herey, of France contends that no uncrystalized sugar pre-exists in the cane, and that the formation of glucose sugar is only owing to the action of the salts contained in the liquid during the manufacturing process. "Be it as it may," continues the report, "it is certain that the greater portion of the saccharine matter of the juice is crystalizable and may be obtained in the state of crystals, if, after rapid boiling and filtering, the fluid be quickly evaporated, the latter operation being a condition of absolute necessity in sugar-making, as, by slow boiling, at a temperature of 112 degrees, or even exposure for a considerable time to a temperature below the boiling point, glucose may be formed from the finest caystalized sugar dissolved in water. On the contrary, if the concentrated solution of sugar he heated beyond 230 degrees F., it undergoes alteration, and is changed, at least in part, into uncrystalizable sugar, or saccharine mucilage." Mr. Wray, of London, who is now in attendance upon the National Fair at Louisville, and who has perhaps more experimental knowledge upon the subject than any other man in the world, is quoted as good authority by the commissioner on the question of crystalization, and we presume that the experiments which he is now making from day to day will be equally conclusive upon the public mind. He has devoted years to the subject, pursuing his investigations in Africa and France, as well as in this country during the present season, and has obtained a patent for his process of sugar-making in England. Assuming, then that superior sugar can be made from the juice of the sorghum, it is hardly possible to exaggerate its importance as an addition to the crops of the temperate latitudes. Its value was discovered at just the period when the culture of the sugar-cane at the south had become a partial failure, and when also the general consumption of sugar began to outrun production. The world demanded that by some means, if possible, the supply should he increased, and in response to that demand, as if by providential arrangement, the country was supplied with the seed of the Sorghum and the Imphee, from which we are to have our first harvest of free labor sugar. It is a great event in the political economy of this country, if not of the world. We pay out annually many millions of dollars for foreign sugar, the crop of Louisiana at best meeting but a fraction of the demand. Last year it was estimated that the nation consumed not less than 700,000,000 pounds, and this amount, vast as it is, must continually increase if a sufficient supply can be obtained. In the Chinese sugar-cane we are now confident we have the source of an almost unbounded supply. It will flourish every where in the Union, and can be raised at the west as easily and cheaply as corn. Where, then, shall we fix the limit of its culture save in the demand for sugar and molasses? The prairies of Indiana and Illinois; besides growing all the breadstuffs they do now, might almost supply the markets of the world with those articles. We shall be content, however, for the next two or three years with enough of each to meet the home demand. The business can be indefinitely extended hereafter.

Nourse to Samuel Ringgold Ward on free labor Description An account of the resource BRO. WARD,--I have long been convinced that it is inconsistent for me to pray, and talk, and vote against slavery, and then bolster up that diabolical system, by purchasing and consuming the products of slave labor. It is one of the plainest of all plain questions, that if the slaveholder could find no market for his plunder, he would be glad to let the oppressed go free. Who then are responsible for the existence and extension of slavery, if those who purchase and use this worse than stolen property are not? I have been pained and almost vexed at the course abolitionists take on this question; while they profess abundance of sympathy for the poor, suffering, bleeding slave,--while they denounce the slaveholder and his abettors in no measured terms; they themselves will use those very articles to produce which the slave suffers and bleeds; and the oppressors arm is strengthened to ply the gory lash. Among the arguments used in favor of consuming the products of slave labor, are, that those articles are more easily and cheaply obtained; that the products of free labor cost too much, that they are difficult to be got hold of. Now to me it looks as though every pound of cotton produced by slav labor, costs more than all the gold in California could pay for, if the whole territory were a solid mass;--it costs no less than the price of blood. But to discuss this question is not the chief object of this communication. I wish to inquire of you or some of your correspondents, where and how, those who despise the "gain of oppression," can obtain the products of free labor. Could not a free labor store be established in Syracuse. Yours, &c., A.W. NOURSE This subject deserves attention.

That the poor and wretched slave Must toil to win their sweetness. From the cradle to the grave. And when he faints with weariness Beneath the torrid sun. The keen lash urges on his toil.

And is it for His glory, men Are made to toil, With weary limbs and breaking hearts, Upon another's soil? That they are taught not of his law, To know his holy will, And that He hates the deed of sin, And loves the righteous still ? And is it peace and love to men, To bind them with the chain, And sell them like the beasts that feed Upon the grassy plain ? To tear their flesh with scourgings rude, And from the aching heart. The ties to which it fondliest clings, For evermore to part ? And 'tis because of all this sin, my mother, That I shun To taste the tempting sweets for which Such wickedness is done.
