'With slaves, however, the American Colonization Society has _no concern_ whatever, except to transport to Africa such as their owners may liberate for that purpose.'--[Oration delivered at Newark, N. J., July 4th, 1831, by Gabriel P. Disosway, Esq.] 'It disclaims, and always has disclaimed, all intention whatever, of interfering in the smallest degree, direct or indirect, with the rights of slaveholders, the right of property, _or the object of emancipation, gradual or immediate. It knows that the owners of slaves are the owners, and no one else--it does not, in the most remote degree, touch that delicate subject_. Every slaveholder may, therefore, remain at ease concerning it or its progress or objects.'--[An advocate of the Society in the New-Orleans Argus.] It were needless to multiply these extracts. So precisely do they resemble each other, that they seem rather as the offspring of a single mind, than of many minds. A large majority of them come in the most official and authoritative shape, and their language is explicit beyond cavil. Here, then, is a combination, embracing able and influential men in all parts of the country, pledging itself not only to respect the system of slavery, but to frown indignantly upon those who shall dare to assail it. And what is this system which is to be held in so much reverence, and avoided with so much care? It is a system which has in itself no redeeming feature, but is full of blood--the blood of innocent men, women and children; full of adultery and concupiscence; full of darkness, blasphemy and wo; full of rebellion against God and treason against the universe; full of wrath--impurity--ignorance--brutality--and awful impiety; full of wounds and bruises and putrefying sores; full of temporal suffering and eternal damnation. It is, says Pitt, a mass, a system of enormities, which incontrovertibly bid defiance to every regulation which ingenuity can devise, or power effect, but a total extinction; a system of incurable injustice, the complication of every species of iniquity, the greatest practical evil that ever has afflicted the human race, and the severest and most extensive calamity recorded in the history of the world. Fox calls it a most unjust and horrible persecution of our fellow creatures. The Rev. Dr. Thomson declares it is a system hostile to the original and essential rights of humanity--contrary to the inflexible and paramount demands of moral justice--at eternal variance with the spirit and maxims of revealed religion--inimical to all that is merciful in the heart, and holy in the conduct--and on these accounts, necessarily exposed and subject to the curse of Almighty God. It is, says Rowland Hill, made up of every crime that treachery, cruelty and murder can invent. Wilberforce says, it is the full measure of pure, unmixed, unsophisticated wickedness; and scorning all competition or comparison, it stands without a rival in the
