We have a natural right, therefore, to seek the abolition of slavery throughout the globe. It is our special duty to make Massachusetts free soil, so that the moment the fugitive slave stands upon it, he shall take his place in the ranks of the free. God commands us to 'hide the outcast, and bewray not him that wandereth.' I say, LET THE WILL OF GOD BE DONE! That is 'the head and front' of my 'fanaticism'! That is the extent of my 'infidelity'! That comprehends all of my 'treason'! THE WILL OF GOD BE DONE!
