'Introduced as this class has been, in a way which cannot be justified, injurious in its influence to the community, degraded in character and miserable in condition, _forever excluded_, by public sentiment, by law and by a physical distinction, from the most powerful motives to exertion,' &c. * * 'In addition to all the causes which tend to pollute, to degrade and render them miserable, there are principles of _repulsion_ between them and us, which can _never_ be overcome.' * * 'Their bodies are free, their minds enslaved. They can neither bless their brethren in servitude, nor rise from their own obscurity, nor add to the purity of our morals, nor to our wealth, nor to our political strength.' * * 'Let us recollect that our fathers have placed them here; and that our prejudices, prejudices _too deep to be eradicated_ while they remain among us, have produced the standard of their morals.' * * 'Nor will it be questioned that their establishment on the African coast ... will confer on them invaluable blessings which _in this country_ they can _never_ enjoy.' * * 'They _must be_ hewers of wood and drawers of water. Do what they will, there is but this one prospect before them.'--[African Repository, vol. 1, pp. 34, 144, 162, 176, 226, 317.] 'Shut out from the privileges of citizens, separated from us by the _insurmountable_ barrier of color, they can _never_ amalgamate with us, but must remain _for ever_ a distinct and inferior race, repugnant to our republican feelings, and dangerous to our republican institutions.' * * * 'It is not that there are some, but that there are so many among us of a different physical, if not moral, constitution, who _never_ can amalgamate with the great body of our population.'--[African Repository, vol. ii. pp. 188, 189, 338.]
