_A._ I will answer, as a similar question was lately answered by a lady who had been brought up in the midst of slavery: “If thou were a slave, toiling in the fields of Carolina, I apprehend thou wouldst think the time had _fully_ come.” This explains the whole difficulty. We do not put ourselves in the condition of the slave, and imagine what would be our feelings if we were in _his_ circumstances. We do not obey the Scripture injunction, “remember those that are in bonds, _as bound with them_.” But if we look at this question merely with a view to expediency, without reference to justice or mercy, when can we hope that a time will come _more_ propitious to the discussion of this subject? The fact is, difficulties and dangers increase every day. In South Carolina and Louisiana, the blacks are already a majority. The annual increase of the _slaves_, without including the free blacks, in the United States, is now 62,000 annually. It is a fact worthy of consideration, that the licentiousness of the white man increases the colored race; but the vices of colored men or women can never increase the white race; for the children of such connections are of course not white.—These people are increasing in the midst of us in startling ratio. If we pursue a kind and Christian course, we can identify their interests with the rest of the community, and make them our friends; but if we persevere in the course we have pursued, their feelings and interests _must_ be all in opposition to ours, and there is great reason to fear the consequences. _Q._ Don’t you think the Colonization Society is doing some good?
