In entering upon the new year, and the twenty-first of the existence of the Liberator, we proffer to all our subscribers and coadjutors the warmest congratulations of the season, and our best wishes for their happiness\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026..<\/p>\n
It is impossible to describe the emotions we feel in commencing our third decade as the editor of the Liberator.\u00a0 The contrast in the state of public sentiment on the subject of slavery, as evinced twenty years ago and at the present time, is truly overpowering.\u00a0 Then, not a whisper against the Slave Power could be heard in any section of the republic; now, a million voices are calling in thunder tones for its eternal overthrow\u2026\u2026Then, not a paragraph could be found in any of the newspapers, touching this \u2018delicate question\u2019; now, there is scarcely\u00a0 one journal of the two thousand published in the land, that does not discuss this as the paramount question of the times\u2026\u2026..Then we stood single-handed\u00a0 and alone; now, the friends of freedom and emancipation are too multitudinous to be numbered.\u00a0 Then, the Slave Power held absolute and unquestioned sway, and had nothing to disturb its repose; now, it is filled with fear and trembling, can sleep no more, has been greatly shorn of its strength, and is ere long to be humbled in the dust.\u00a0 Such is the power of Truth, fearlessly uttered and faithfully applied!<\/p>\n
