That meeting was held in a large church of the colored people and the church was crowded. But I was quite surprised, when I understood from their proceedings and harangues, that it was an "underground railroad" meeting, in which they disclosed so much of their secret proceedings of the transportation of slaves to Canada, and endeavored by their revolutionary speeches to kindle the animal passions of the audience to rebellion that if such a meeting would have been held in France or Austria or several other monarchies, all speakers would have been imprisoned in the State's Prison and if not all, certainly several of them would have remained perpetually in prison. After their meeting the rich Mulatto chairman announced, that I had to deliver a short message independent from their meeting. I mentioned briefly, that I am a messenger of Peace, having superabundance of credentials for delivering slaves by co-operation of slaveholders themselves, if abolitionists would learn our message and give good example to slaveholders; and that, since there was no time for an explanation of the matter, they should appoint a committee to whom a manuscript of mine should be read, containing that which those should know, who are working for redemption of slaves. A committee of five colored men was appointed; but at our first meeting all members of the committee were not present, and those who came to the first meeting were so distracted with other business, that they did not pay attention to what has been read the first time, and the others had their excuses to come again, except a Mulatto from West India who would have persevered, if others had done the same. But he alone could do nothing, because he was not a long time in Philadelphia and had not much influence there. I have given here one case of my experience, instead of hundreds of cases, how dreadfully the colored people are duped and deceived by the heads of antislavery armies, while these heads or popes appear to have great zeal for deliverance of slaves, although they are the cause, that some of them are killed, and those who are brought to Canada, become more miserable slaves than they have been before, because they are drilled in weapons to kill and be killed, while our master offers by our instrumentality to the anti-slavery champions the means to deliver white and black slaves from all forms of oppression[P] and slavery. But there are many, under the specious name of the antislavery cause, agents of monarchs and traitors of the true Republican or true anti-slavery cause. And those who are not directly bribed by monarchial agents for the conversion of this country into monarchies, are mediums or instruments of deluding and destroying spirits, by whom they are so blinded that they, really believe, that they are working "for deliverance of the poor slave," while they are assisting monarchs, to enslave the whole country.
