denounced me, "as a foreign adventurer!" In this instance he has truly proved the truth of his declaration, "that he hates caution and prudence," for verily if ever I can get the opportunity of meeting him on a platform before the public, he may ever after go to the South with perfect impunity. His friends say, the Southerners have offered _five thousand_ dollars for his head. If this be like the numerous other misstatements respecting the South, little confidence is to be placed in it; but if it be true, and that the above event ever takes place, I guarantee they will no longer offer one dollar for it, except they have a particular fancy for purchasing empty skulls, as I shall demonstrate there is little or nothing in _his_. This is the only retaliation I shall seek for his _urbanity_ towards me; and in this, it will be perceived, I will be returning only good for evil. Let not Abolitionists at large mistake me--I do not intend to accuse them, directly or indirectly, of impure motives--quite the reverse--I do really believe all the Abolitionists, with very few exceptions, are the best, and the most moral, and philanthropic men, in America; and are actuated by the purest motives of doing good to all--relieving the oppressed, and crushing tyranny. But at the same time, I do confess I perceive strong symptoms of other motives actuating _some_--we know not the heart of man--God only knows that--therefore, we can only judge of men's views by their acts and deeds. I do not accuse even the gentleman whose name has occurred so often in the preceding pages--he may be one of the best, and sincerest men on earth, for aught I know, and I hope he is; but then he must, _if that be the case_, be labouring under _monomania_: and in that case, he certainly is not the most judicious person to _lead_--to _advise_--or to _govern_ a political party composed of thousands! One fatal _step_--one fatal _word_, of such a man, may plunge thousands into ruin! He is, or he is not, a fanatic--even he himself tells us, "he hates _caution_, _prudence_, and _judiciousness_." Therefore, if we are to believe himself, and far be it from me to doubt his word _on this occasion_, he is not a cautious man, nor is he a prudent man, nor is he a judicious man! Who, therefore, can for the future adhere to the principles of such a person, if he were almost an angel from heaven? Is he a fanatic? I hope so, for his own sake: but then, he is equally disqualified from advising, planning, guiding, or advocating, any doctrine, let the doctrine be ever so good! But if he be not a fanatic--then, his principles, his declarations, his doctrines, are most suspicious! unless peradventure, he is a _simpleton_, while some crafty, designing persons, are behind the curtain, urging him forward in his imprudent, and mad, career!
