CUDDELDON PALACE, JULY 7, 1852. MADAM:-- I readily comply with your desire. England taught her descendants in America to injure their African brethren. Every Englishman should aid the American to get rid of this cleaving wrong and deep injury to his race and nation. I am ever yours, Samuel Wilberforce “HIDE THE OUTCASTS.” Hide the outcasts, and bewray not Him that wand’reth to be free; Haste!--deliver and delay not;-- Let my outcasts dwell with thee.[B] Shelter thou shalt not refuse him, Lest, with him, his Lord ye slight;[C] When, at noon, the foe pursues him, Make thy shadow dark as night. With thee shall he dwell, protected, Near thee, cherished by thy side; Though degraded, scorned, neglected,-- Thrust him not away, in pride.[D] As, in truth, ye would that others Unto you should succor lend, So, to them, as equal brothers, Equal love and help extend.[E] Thou shalt not the slave deliver To his master, when he flees:-- Heritage, from GOD, the Giver, Yield them freely, where they please.[F] As thyself,[G]--thy babes,--their mother,-- Thou wouldst shield from murd’rous arm, So the slave, thy equal brother, And his household, shield from harm. Hearken, ye that know and fear me,[H] Ye who in my law delight; Ye that seek me, and revere me, Hate the wrong, and love the right.[I] Fear ye not, when men upbraid you, Worms shall all their strength devour; My salvation still shall aid you, Coming ages learn my power. Why forget the Lord thy Maker? Why th’ oppressor’s fury dread? Zion’s King shall ne’er forsake her;-- Where’s th’ oppressor’s fury fled?[J] Scorn the mandates of transgressors;[K] Fear thy God, and fear none other; ’Gainst _thyself_ conspire oppressors, When they bid thee bind thy _brother_. Lo! the captive exile hasteth To be loosed from thrall, forever;[L] Lo! the power of tyrants wasteth, Perished soon,--recovered, never! W^m Goodell CAN SLAVES RIGHTFULLY RESIST AND FIGHT? I do not answer this question. But the following facts are submitted as containing the materials for an answer. About seventy years ago, three millions of people in America thought themselves wronged by the powers ordained of God. They resolved not to endure the wrong. They published to the world a statement of grievances which justified resistance to the powers ordained of God, and deliberately revolted against the king, though explicitly commanded by God to “honor the king.” In the process of revolt, about one hundred thousand men, Europeans and Americans,--were slaughtered in battle, or slowly butchered by the sickness, imprisonments, and hardships incident to a state of war.
