4. _It is ready to pass censure upon abolition societies._ 5. _It involves no intrusion on property, nor even upon prejudice._ 6. _It has no wish, if it could, to interfere in the smallest degree with the system of slavery._ 7. _It acknowledges the necessity by which the present continuance of the system and the rigorous provisions for its maintenance are justified._ 8. _It denies the design of attempting emancipation either partial or general: into its accounts the subject of emancipation does not enter at all: it has no intention to open the door to universal liberty._ 9. _The rights of masters are to remain sacred in the eyes of the Society._ 10. _It condemns no man because he is a slaveholder._ Each of these particulars deserves a volume of comments, but I am compelled to dismiss them in rotation with a single remark. 1. One reason assigned by the Society for refusing to promote the education of our colored population, is, a dread of exciting 'the _prejudices_ and _terrors_ of the slaveholding States'! Is it credible? As far, then, as this Society extends its influence, more than two millions of ignorant, degraded beings in this boasted land of liberty and light have nothing to hope: their moral, intellectual and political improvement is foreign to its powers! Cruel neglect! barbarous coalition! A sinful fear of rousing the prejudices of oppressors outweighs the claims of the contemned blacks, the requirements of the gospel, the dictates of humanity, and the convictions of duty. Will this plea avail aught at the bar of God? Millions of our countrymen purposely kept in darkness, although we are able to pour daylight upon their vision, merely to gratify and protect their buyers and sellers!
