'The American Colonization Society looks abroad over its own country, and it finds a mass of its brethren, whom God has been pleased to clothe with a darker skin. It finds one portion of these free! another enslaved! It finds a cruel prejudice, as dark and false as sin can make it, reigning with a most tyrannous sway against both. It finds this prejudice respecting the _free_, declaring without a blush, "We are too wicked ever to love them as God commands us to do--we are so resolute in our wickedness as not even to desire to do so--and we are so proud in our iniquity that we will hate and revile whoever disturbs us in it--We want, like the devils of old, to be let alone in our sin--We are unalterably determined, and neither God nor man shall move us from this resolution, that our free colored fellow subjects never shall be happy in their native land." The American Colonization Society, I say, finds this most base and cruel prejudice, _and lets it alone_; nay more, it directly and powerfully supports it. 'The American Colonization Society finds 2,000,000 of its fellow subjects most iniquitously enslaved--and it finds a resolution as proud and wicked as the very spirit of the pit can make it against _obeying_ God and _letting them_ go free in their native land. _It lets this perfectly infernal resolution alone_, nay more, it powerfully supports it; for it in fact says, as a fond and feeble father might say to some overgrown baby before whose obstinate wickedness he quailed, "Never mind, my dear, I don't want to prevent your beating and abusing your brothers and sisters--let that be--but here is a box of sugar plums--do pray give them one or two now and then." The American Colonization Society says practically to the slaveholders and the slave party in the United States, "We don't want to prevent your plundering 2,000,000 of our fellow subjects of their liberty and of the fruits of their toil; although we know that by every principle of law which does not utterly disgrace us by assimilating us to pirates, that they have as good and as true a right to the equal protection of the law as we have; and although we ourselves stand prepared to die, rather than submit even to a fragment of the intolerable load of oppression to which we are subjecting them--yet never mind--let that be--they have grown old in suffering, and we in iniquity--and we have nothing to do now but to speak _peace_, _peace_ to one another in our sins. But if any of their masters, whether from benevolence, an awakened conscience, or political or personal fear, should emancipate any, let us send them to Liberia--that is, in fact, let us give a sugar plum here and there to a few, while the many are living and dying unredressed--and while we are thus countenancing the
