'That no adequate means of attaining this great end existed, short of the segregation of the black population from the white--that an IMPASSIBLE BARRIER existed in the state of society in this country, between these classes--that whatever might be the liberal sentiments of some good men among us, the blacks were marked with an _indelible note of inferiority_--they saw placed high before them a station which here they _could never reach_, and by a natural reaction they fell back into a position where self-respect lent them no stimulus, and virtuous principles and actions lost more than half their motive--that in fact they were a branded and degraded caste--the Pariahs of the United States, and destined _as long as they remained with us_ to be hewers of wood and drawers of water--that the increase of this population in a greater ratio than the whites, was calculated to excite just apprehension--that no one could say that when a few more millions should be added to their numbers, the example of Hayti might not rouse them to an effort to break their chains; and he would ask what man could contemplate, without shuddering, all the complicated atrocity and bloody revenge of such a revolt?' * * 'Those persons of color who have been emancipated, are only nominally free, and the whole race, so long as they remain among us, and whether they be slaves or free, must _necessarily_ be kept in a condition full of wretchedness to them and full of danger to the whites.'--[Second Annual Report of New-York State Colonization Society.]
