Excerpt from Letter Rev. Edwin H. Chapin, Lucius R. Paige, Et; Al: Containing Reasons for Refusing to Sign a Protest Against American Slavery The following Circular and the accompanying Letter will explain them selves. I offer no apology for the opinions expressed in the letter-i oniy regret that I have not brought an abler and more practised pen to the discussion of the important question. I do not claim to have thrown any new light upon a subject that has already received a full discussion from some of the first intellects of the age, but have simply performed my duty, as I regard it, by giving the reasons which make it imperative upon my part to refuse my name and very feeble influ ence to the following Protest. I am decidedly opposed to the agitation of so exciting a subject as this has proved itself to be, especially by the denomination to which I belong. I regret that some of the most distinguished of the ministry of that denomination, should so far for get the wisdom and prudence so necessary to their success, as to join the ranks of fanaticism, and give their influence to a mad crusade, infinitely more foolish and useless than that of Peter the hermit.
