''' AVe want the slaveholder to give up his unholy, and unfounded claim to the image of God, and when 14* 162 Influence of oppression upon its victim.
he will practically acknowledge this principle, then he will cease to be a slaveholder.
V. We see, in the light of this story, the debasing, degrading, and withering influence of slavery upon its poor victim. Peter tells the truth, when he says, " no man can hold up his head like a man if he is a slave. " Any person who has been on a southern pla...ntation must confess, that there is a degraded and ser- vile air upon the countenance of all the slaves. A more abject, low, vacant, inhuman look, cannot be seen in the face of a being in the world, than you see when you meet a southern slave. It is not the tame and subdued look of a jaded beast. It is infinitely more painful to behold a slave than such a spectacle. He seems to be a man with the soul of a beast ; God's image does not speak from his dim and lustreless eye, or his lifeless and degraded bearing.
