'But,' we are told, 'God has put a mark upon the black man.' True; and he has also put a mark upon every man, woman and child, in the world; so that every one differs in appearance from another--is easily identified--and, to make the objection valid, should occupy a _distinct_ portion of territory, be himself a nation, enact his own laws, and live in perpetual solitude! The difference between a black and a white skin is not greater than that between a white and a black one. In either case, the mark is distinctive; and the blacks may as reasonably expel the whites, as the whites the blacks. To make such a separation we have no authority; to attempt it, would end only in disappointment; and, if it were carried into effect, those who are clamorous for the measure would be among the first to be cast out. The all-wise Creator, having 'made of _one blood_ all nations of men to dwell on all the face of the earth,' it is proper for them to associate freely together; and he is a proud worm of the dust who is ashamed to acknowledge this common relationship. Again we are told: 'The God of Nature intended the blacks should be a _distinct_ community.' But has he been frustrated in his intentions? Where is the proof of such purpose? Let us have something more than the _ipse dixit_ of the Society. Yes, we are seriously assured that Nature has played falsely! Colored persons were born by mistake in this country: they should have been born in Africa! We must therefore rectify the error, with all despatch, by transporting them to their _native soil_! Truly, a most formidable enterprise! There occur at least sixty thousand of such _mistakes_, annually; while the Society has corrected only about two thousand in fourteen years! But--courage! men engaged in a laudable enterprise should never despair!
