1841.] ANTI-SLAVERY ALMANAC 
 
 "PREJUDICE AGAINST COLOR." 
 
 Prejudice ay amst color ! Pray tell us u'Aai color 1 Black 1 >rown'? copper 
 color 1 yellow 1 tawny 7 or olive? Native Americans of ail these colors 
 everywhere experience hourly indignities at the hands of persons claiming to 
 be white. Now, is all this for color^s sake ? If so, which of these colors ex- 
 cites such commotion in those sallow-skinned Americans who call themselves 
 white] Is it black? When did thej ^in to be so horrified at black 1 Was 
 it befoie bl.ick stocks came into fashion? black coats? black vests ? black 
 hats? b. 'ck walking canes? black reticules ? black umbrellas ? black-waL.ut 
 tables? b ick ebony picture frames and sculptural decorations? black eyes, 
 hair and w liskers ? bright black shoes, and glossy black horses ? How this 
 American cclor-phobia would have lashed itself into a foam at the sight of the 
 celebrated black goddess Diana, of tphesus ! how it would have gnashed upon 
 the okl statue, and hacked away at it out of sheer spite at its color! What 
 exemplary havoc it would have made of the most celebrated statues of anti- 
 quity. Forsooth they were black! their color would have been their doom, 
 'rhese half-white Americans owe the genius of sculpture a great grudge. She 
 has so often crossed their path in the hated color, it would fare hard with her 
 if she were to fall into their clutches. By the way, it would be well for 
 Chantry and other European sculptors to keep a keen look-out upon all Amer- 
 icans visiting their collections. American color-phobia would be untrue to 
 itself if it did not pitch battle with eveiy black statue and bust that came in 
 its way in going the rounds. A black Apollo, whatever the symmetry of his 
 proportions, the majesty of his attitude, or the divinity of his air, would meet 
 with great good fortune if it escaped mutilation at its bands, or at least defile- 
 ment froai its spittle. If all foreign artists, whose collections are visited by 
 Americans, would fence off a corner of their galleries for a " negro pew," and 
 straightway colonize in thither every specimen of ancient and modern art 
 that is chisselled or cast in black, it would be a wise precaution. The only 
 tolerable substitute for such colonization would be plenty of ichitcicash, which 
 would avail little as a peace-offering to brother Jonathan, un less. /re^/i/y put 
 on : in that case a thick coat of it might sufficiently placate his outraged sense 
 of propriety to rescue the finest models of art from American Lynch-law: 
 but it would not be best to presume too far, for color-phobia has no lucid inter- 
 vals, the Jit is on all the time. The anti-black feeling, being " a law of na- 
 ture," must have vent ; and unless it be provided, wherever it goes, with a 
 sort of portable Liberia to scrape the offensive color into, it twitches and jerks 
 in convulsions directly. But stop — this anti-bljck passion is, we are told, "a 
 law of nature," and not to be triHcd with 1 " Prejudice against culor" "a law 
 of nature !" Forsooth ! What a sinner against nature old Homer was ! He 
 goes off in ecstacies in his descriptions of the black Ethiopians, priiises their 
 beauty, calls them tlie favorites of the gods, and represents all the ancient 
 divinities as selecting them tro:n all the nations of the world as their intimate 
 companions, the objects of their peculiar complacency. If Homer had only 
 been indoctrinated into this "law of nature," he would never have insulted 
 his deities by representing them as making negroes their chosen associates. 
 What impious trifling with this .sacred " law" was perpetr:Jted by the old 
 Greeks, who represented Minerva, their fivorite goddess of Wisdom, as an 
 African princess Herodotus pronounces the Ethiopians the most majestic 
 and beautiful of men. The great father of history was fated to live and die 
 in the dark, as to this great " law of nature !" Why do so many Greek and 
 Latin auth;)rs adorn with eulogy the beauty and graces of the black Mem- 
 non who served at the siege of Troy, styling him, in their eulogiums, the son 
 of Aurora? Ignoramuses! They knew nothing of this great "law of na- 
 ture." How little reverence for this sublime " law" had Solon, Pythagoras,

 Plato, and those other master spirits of ancient Greece, who, in their pil- 
 grimage after kn.)wlec]ge. went to Ethiopia and Egyp^. and sat at the f(Ct of 
 black philosophers to drink in wisdom. Alas lor tfie n.ullitudes wLo tiocked 
 liosn all parts of. the world to the instructions ot' that neofro, Euclid, who, 
 three hundred years before Christ, was at the head of the" most celebrated 
 matheaiatical school in the world. However learned in the mathematics, 
 they were plainly numsculls in the " law of nature !"' 
 
 How little had Antiochus the Great the fear of this " law of nature" before 
 his eyes, when he welcomed to his couit. with the most signal honors, the 
 black African Hannibal: and what an impious perverter of this same law- 
 was the great conqueror of Hannibal, since he made the black po'^c Terence 
 one of his most intimate associates and confidants. What heat! enish dark- 
 ness brooded over the early ages of Christiariity respecting this divine "law 
 of nature." when Philip went up into the chariot of the Ethiopian eunuch 
 and sat irith him^ and when the Spirit of God said to him, "Go near and 
 join thi/self to this chariot." Both grossly outraofed this "law of nature." 
 What a sin of ignorance I The most celebrated fathers of the church. Ori- 
 gen. Cyprian, Tertullian, Augustine. Clemens Alexandrinus, and Cyril — 
 why were not these black African bishops colonized into a " negro pew, " 
 when attending the ecclesiastical councils of their day. Alas, though the 
 sun of ritrhteousness had risen on primitive Christians, this great " law of na- 
 ture" had not 1 This leads us reverently to ask the age of this law. A law 
 of nature, being a part of nature, must be as old as nature: but perhaps hu- 
 man nature w\as created by piecemeal, and this part was overlooked in the 
 early editions, but supplied in a later revisal. Well, what is the drte of the 
 revised edition 1 We will save our readers the trouble of fumbling for it, by just 
 saying, that this '' law of nature" was never heard of till long after the com- 
 mencement of the African slave trade; and that the feeling called " prejudice 
 against color." has never existed in Great Britain, France. Spain, Portugal, 
 the Itahan States, Prussia, Austria, Russia, or in any part of the world where 
 colored persons have not been held as slaves. Indeed, in many countries, 
 where multitudes of Africans and their descendants have been long held 
 slaves, no prejudice against color has ever existed. This is the case in Tur- 
 key, Brazil, and Persia. In Brazil there are more than two millions of slaves. 
 Yet some of the highest offices of state are filled by black men. Scn.e of tl.e 
 most distinguished officers in the Brazilian army are blacks and mul^ttoes. 
 Colored lawyers and physicians are found in all parts of the countr}'. Be- 
 sides this, hundreds of the Roman Catholic clergy are black and colored 
 men ; these minister to congregations made up indiscriminately of blacks and 
 whites. The same remark may be made of all the South American states 
 and Mexico. General Guerrero, late president of Mexico, was a colored 
 man, so is General Alvarez, one of the most distinguished of the Mexican 
 senerals. and some of the most prominent men of the Mexican congress are 
 mulattoes General Paez. the distinguished president of Venezuela, is also 
 a colored man. General Piar, who bore a conspicuous part in the com- 
 mencement of the Columbian revolution, was a mulatto. General Sucre, 
 the commander-in-chief at the battle of Ayacucho, in 18'24, the most remark- 
 able ever fought in South America, was a black man with w^ooLy hair. In 
 18"26 he was elected president of Bolivia. 
 
 As we find ourselves crowded for space, a variety of facts, illustrating the 
 entire absence of " prejudice against color" in European countries, must be 
 omitted. We can find room for only those that follow: — Anthony "^N illiam 
 Amo, a full blooded negro, a native of Guinea, was, in 1774, appointed Pro- 
 fessor of Philosophy in the University of Wirtemberg, in Germany. He 
 was afterwards removed to Berlin and made a counsellor of state to his Prus- 
 sian majesty. An African negro named Annibal wae. a general and direc-

 mark of honor, the order of Saint Alexander IS'enski. His sf<n, a aiuktto, 
 was, in IZ'ii, a lieutenant-general of artillery in the Rufcian aenice. Geof- 
 frey L' Islet, a mulatto, originally an oiii:er of artillery in the French army, 
 was elected a corrc-sjxmding meinber of the Academy of Sciences at Pans, i 
 and wa-s living a few years since. Peliet, a highly respected and pwpular j 
 officer in the National Guards of France, is a dark mulatto. Capitein, who 
 graduated with great apjjlause at the University of Leyden in Holland, and 
 afterward.s became a clergyruin, and published a voiu;ne of sermons in the j 
 Dutch language, was a negro, a native of Guinea. Ignatius Sancbo. the | 
 associate of Garrick, and the friend and correspondent of the celebrated j 
 Sterne, was a negro. Louis Phillipe, the present king of the French, had, | 
 in his boyhoo<J, as one of his playmates. Scipio Africanus, a young negro, j 
 who was one of the family of the Duke of Orleans, (Ega^lite.) Scipio aiter- | 
 wards became an officer in the French army under Joubert, and was killed i 
 with that officer at the baule of Novl in 179^. A brave Brazilian negro, j 
 naine<J Henry Diaz, who was colonel of a regiment of blacks, ar>d had done i 
 the state important service in the Dutch war, was invited to Portugal by j 
 King John I V., who receive*! him at bis court with distinguished honor, con- 
 ferred upon him knighthood, and caused a medal to be struck in commemora- 
 tion of his services. Benoit, a negro of Palermo, called by historians the 
 " Holy Black," was among the most eulogized and honored saints in the 
 Roman Catholic Church of t!ie age in which he lived. One of the members 
 of the French national a-sse iibly, between forty and fifty years since, was 
 Mentor, a negro, a native of Martinique. A mulatto, named St. George, 
 who served in the French army after the revolution, was, as the Abbe Gre- 
 goire informs us, the " idol of fashionable society"' in the French capital. 
 General Dumas, who for a long time commanded a legion in the French 
 army, and was one of Bonaparte's favorite generals of division, and named 
 by hirn the " Horatius Cocles of the Tvrols,'' was a mulatto. Kina, a favor- 
 ite officer in the British army, and who, on a visit to London, received the 
 most flattering attentions in honor of his services in the West Indies, was a 
 negro. Correa de Serra, the secretary of the Portuguese academy, asserts 
 that in Lisbon and other parts of Portugal there are distinguished lawyers 
 an J professors who are negroes. A public teacher of Latin at Seville, in 
 Spain, during the last centun.', was a negro named Don Juan Latino. It is 
 a fact well known, that some of the highest offices in the Turkish and Per- 
 sian empires have been filled by negroes. Job Ben Solomon, a negro born 
 on the Gambia, wets treate<l with marked attention in the polite and Irterary 
 circles of England, a.nd received at the court of St. James with high distinc- 
 tion. Jules Raymond, author of various works in French, and a member 
 of the N.itional Institute of France, was a mulatto. Gustavus Vasa, a negro 
 born at Benin, resided many years in London, where he mingled with refined 
 socifty and was highly respected. His son, Sancho, was assistant librarian 
 to Sir Joseph Banks, and secretary to the Vaccine Institution. One of the 
 most pop-ilar lawyers at the royal court of Martinique" is M. Papy, a mulatto. 
 A. De Ca'itro. aid-de-camp to the governor general of the Danish West In- 
 dies, is a mulatto: his son is aid-de-camp to the governor of St Thomas. 
 George Washington Jefferson, a mulatto from St. Domingo, who resides 
 near Brighton, England, associates with the most respectable society, and is 
 a director in a hank there. Prince Sanders was a dark mulatto, a native of 
 Boston, bi:t resided many years in London, where he was a great favorite in 
 fashionable circles, was invite<l to breakfast with the Prince Regent, and re- 
 ceived fl;-.ttering attentions from distinguished literar.- characters For a 
 century past a considerable projx)rtion of the Roman Catholic clergy in the 
 Cape de Verd islands have been negroes. Thomas Jenkyns, a negro, na-

 tive of Guinea, was, for a number of years, a teacher of a parish sd^^d^r 
 Minburgh, in Scotland; he afterwards entered the university where he dis 
 tinguKshed him.-elf for scholarship : he was so great a favorite w-ith the faculty 
 that the professors generally relinquished their fees to assist him in his edu- 
 cation. He eventually became a preacher, and was deputed by the British 
 bociety for promoting Christian knowledge as a missionary to Mauritiu^ 
 where ne still lesides. The secretary of the governor of Antigua in 1837' 
 was a mulatto: so is a Mr. Athill, who was at the same time postmaster- 
 general of Antigua, and a member of assembly. Edward Jordan who has 
 been for many years editor of the ablest and most influential paper' published 
 in the island of Jamaica, is a mulatto. Mr. J. has also been for some years 
 a leading member of the Jamaica assemblv, ami alderman of the city of 
 Kingston. Richard Hill, who has been for a number of years at the head of 
 tl^ special magistracy in Jamaica, (a body of about sixty maaistrates ) and their 
 ofhcial organ ot communication with the government, is a dark mulatto. 
 When Lord Sligo was governor of Jamaica Mr. Hill was his official secre- 
 tary, and an inmate of his family :— his lordship, when in New-^ ork in the 
 summer of '39, on his return to England, speaking of Mr. Hill said " With 
 no gentleman in the West Indies was I, in social life, on terms of more inti- 
 mate friendship. Price W'atkis, recently deceased, who lor the last ten 
 years of his lite was at the head of the Jamaica bar, and for a long time a 
 distinguished member of the assembly, was the son of a negress Mr Os- 
 born, another member of the same body, and also the son of a necricss was 
 elected to the assembly by the parish of St. Andrews, in which he'was'born 
 a slave . Mr. Osborn was, a few years since, appointed by the Governor a 
 magistrate of tne parish in which he resided, and a judge of"'the court of com- 
 mon pleas.

 ABOLITION OF NEGRO SLAYERY. 
 
 A public dinner was given yesterday at the Freemasons' Tavern, Great 
 duren street, to celebrate the termination of slavery throughout the British 
 colonial possessions. 
 
 The Right Hon. the Eari of Mulgrave in the chair, one hundred and 
 thirty noblemen and gentlemen were present; among whom we noticed the 
 Right Hon. Spring Rice, Viscount Morpeth, M. P., Dr. Lushinnton M P 
 -— Pct_re, Esq., M. P. Sir H. Verney, Bart., M. P., W. W^etmore, Esq ,' 
 M. P., Mr. Mornson, M. P., Z. Macaulay, Esq.. Mr Stanhope M P 
 Mr. O'Connell, M. P., Hon. G. J. Vernon, M. P.,' Mr. E Baines' m' p'' 
 Mr. John Wilks, M. P., Hon. Sir George Grey, Bart., M. P., H G. Ward' 
 Esq., M. P be-l-l-s several genflcmen of color, natives of Jamaica, St. Kitts' 
 and other West Indian colonies. 
 
 The London correspondent of the New- York Journal of Commerce gives 
 the following additional particulars: — 
 
 " The first of August has been held as quite a fete day, both in the metro- 
 polis and the country. Several noblemen and gentlemen dined together, and 
 Lord Mulgrave, the late governor of Jamaica, presided. SererZl negroes 
 uere preseni at the dinner, and were mingled uith the distinguished corn- 
 fa mj in the vwst pel fed fell on-ship. One of them addressed the meering in 
 a strain of the most powerful eloquence, and received the marked compliments 
 of the noble chairman " '

 " At the distribution of prizes at the Sorbonne in August last, to the stu- 
 dents of the eight Colleges of Paris and Versailles, the royal family and all 
 tho ministers of state attended. Each college sent a certain number of its most 
 distinguished scholars, but amongst so many young men from these cele- 
 brated institutions, it was Girarcl, a young man of color from Gaudaloupe, 
 who received, amongst other prizes, the prize of honor. Villemain, the minis- 
 ter of public instruction, placed the crown or wreath upon Girard's head, em- 
 braced him, and delivered to him his prizes amidst the unanimous applauses 
 of the collegians and spectators. Girard was tlien invited to dine with the 
 king, and he spent three days with the royal family at St. Cloud." 
 
 We will close this article by presenting the following testimonies to the 
 absence of what is called "prejudice against color" in England, and in all 
 parts of the civilized world where the people have not been accustomed to as- 
 sociate the negro color and features with slavery. 
 
 Hox. PETEsi A. Jav, in his speech in the convention that formed the 
 constitution of the state of New-York in 1821, said, " Why do we feel reluc- 
 tant to associate with a black man 1 There is no such reluctance in Europe, 
 nor in. any country where slavery is unknoicn.^' 
 
 Chancet-lor Ke.vt, in a speech in the same convention said, " In Europe 
 the distinction of color is unknown." — (Debates N. Y. Conv., pp. 201, 377.) 
 
 WiLr.iAM GnoDELf., the well known editor of the " Friend of Man," at 
 Utica, N. Y., says, " I have myself travelled in Holland for several days in 
 succession, on board stages and canal boats, in company with a colored 
 family from Surinam, and at all the hotels, at Sands, at Alkmaer, the H elder, 
 at Sardam and at Amsterdam, as well as in the public conveyances, they were 
 treated with as much attention and politeness as any other ladies and gentle- 
 men. The finger of scorn would have been pointed at any American, as to 
 an unmannerly brwte, who should have been guilty of "any incivility to- 
 wards them. A few days afterwards, being invited to dine with one of the 
 first merchants of Amsterdam, (and I may say of Europe,) the gentleman to 
 whom our ship and cargo were consigned — whom should I meet, with his 
 wife and daughtens, in his drawing room and at his table, but some of these 
 same colored gentlemen and ladies from Surinam ! I afterwards recognised 
 them at church and on the public promenades, in company with the very elite 
 of that splendid city. Yet the Hollanders are somewhat whiter than the 
 Americans ! What I saw among them may be seen every day in all parts of 
 Europe— at London, at Edinburgh, at Vienna, at St. Petersburg, at Paris. 
 Americans who have visited Lafayette, at Lagrange, relate just such inci- 
 dents as have now been described.'' 
 
 David L. Child, Esq., of Massachusetts, late secretary of the U. S. 
 minister at the court of Lisbon, says, " In Spain, Portugal, and Brazil, it 
 (prejudice against color) does not exist at all. In England all distinction is 
 quite done away. I have seen colored men at the chess boards, at the card 
 tables, at feasts, at churches, at hotels, and arm in arm in the streets with 
 white men of the first eminence for rank, talent, and station." 
 
 Arnold Buffum, a well known member of the society of Friends, says, 
 '• Some of the finest men I met with, during a residence of three years in 
 London and Paris, were the offspring of African mothers. There no dis- 
 tinction is made in any grade of society on account of color. I have re- 
 peatedly seen black gentlemen sitting on the sofas, conversing with the ladies, 
 at the hospitable mansion of that universal philanthropist, Lafayette; and 
 there were no persons present who appeared more respectable, or who were 
 more respected." 
 
 Hon. Alexander H.Everett, of Massachusetts, in a speech before the 
 Mass. Col. Society, said, " And it is worth while, Mr. President, to remark, 
 that the prejudice which is commonly entertained ui this country, but which

 Joes not exist to any thing like the same extent in Europe, against the color 
 of the blacks, seems to have grown out of the unnatural position which they 
 occuDV araoncT us. When the blacks took precedence of the whites in 
 civilization, science, and poUtical power, no such prejudice appears to have 
 
 ^^Rfv Dr Stowe, professor in the Lane Theological Seminary at Cincin- 
 nati Ohio, says, " History gives full testimony that this piejudice against the 
 necro colo^ and features has no foundation in nature. There is nothing in 
 the' physical or intellectual nature of the negro, that can be offensive to the 
 man unperverted by early and wicked associations.' , , , „ , ^ . 
 
 The late Joseph Horace Kimball, editor of the Herald of Freedom wn- 
 ting from the island of St. Thomas in 1887, snys, "The prejudices which are 
 so rampant against color in the United States, are hardly known here. 1 he 
 only expression of them which I have yet seen, ,. avwmg A^m^ricans. 
 Peonle here through all the grades of color, sit promiscuously together at 
 chuTcl unft'e in s^^^^^^^ visits and public balls, and stand side by side at the 
 counting-house desk Colored men are also members, with whites, ot 
 
 """ouZlimTts forbid further extracts. The reader has noticed, in the preced- 
 ina facts and testimonies, a few from the West India islands These have 
 been given, not because there is no " prejudice against color there, for there 
 L but to show that even there, though slavery has existed for more than 
 tv^o centuries, and though the proportion of slaves to whites hjs alwav^ l^en 
 more than ten to one, it has vastly less strength than m the Uintid fetates 
 
 A word, in conclusion, to Abolitionists. Whatever you do, or neglec to 
 do, in the anti-slavery cause, l.ye down that hbel upon nature, and bias- 
 phemy of nature's author, which pronounces the unutterably mean, despicable, 
 cruel, and accursed feeling called "prejud ice against color," a law of nature.

 sotted and impious men ! The Judjre of quick and dead arraigns and con- 
 demns you; hear your accusation and sentence from the lips ot the Son ot 
 God, " Inas iiuch as ve have scorned to sit with the least of these, ye have

 and thrust into corners, the most despised of my poor, ye have spumed and

 horred se.it, or be driven tVom mv own sanctuary ; for 'inasnmch as ye have 
 doa^.^ it unto one of the least of these, ye have done it unto MB.' Behold, ye 
 despisers, and wonder and perish." 
 
 Finally, to every professed minister of Christ, who has thus far counte- 
 nced the impietv of the " negro seat," we say, repent of your sin, conless 
 ..lid forsake it; tlien preach, pray, te.-tify, cry aloud again.st that worse than 
 heathen abomination — give place to it by subjection I no, not tor an hour. In 
 the name of God, smite down the cre^^ted blasphemy and cast it headlong. 
 If your hearers, like those who were cut to the lu art by the truth of old, contra- 
 dict and blaspheme,and drive you from tliem,count it all joy jyou have honored 
 God, been a witness to his truth and delivered your own soul— shake oft th^ 
 dust'of your feet as a testimony against them, and go on your way, rejoicing 
 that you are counted worthy to sufler shame for his name. 
 
 ABOLITIONISM. 
 Abolitionism is— anti-slaverv principles acted out. The only true pro- 
 fession of a creed is, the practice of it. Abolitionists, wherever you are, 
 whatever vou do, show that your abolitionism is not mere theory ; but that 
 it grasps your heart— no\. mere sentiinentalisra that goes off in rhapsodies, 
 nor a mere impulse— gushing out when your sympathies arc moved by a tale 
 of cruelty, but that you have an abiding, intense abhorrence of slavery,— </ic 
 thing itself— &n abhorreu'^e inwrought with your nature, and rooted in its 
 foundations; a principle dwAl'm^l, out from your very hfe-spring, tide upon 
 tide, without end and without ebb, quickening by its warm overflow every ele- 
 ment of vour bcm^r. Let all take kiiowledge of you that you are Jree, and 
 true to 'freedom ;°that her cause is yours, her honor yours, her indignities 
 yours, her stru?<Tlcs, her perils, and her triumphs yours ; that you are her 
 sleepless stMitineh alwavs under arms, pacing her rounds, and keeping up her 
 watch-tires. Those are the greatest foes to human rights vyho concede that 
 our doctrines are true, yet retuse to live them out. To admit the truth ot an 
 oiino.xious principle demands no sacrifice, but to act it o»/— there s the rub. 
 Not to act out your anti-slaverv principles, is not only to disown them but to 
 kill them. It is with moral principles as with the blood, you can't keep hie 
 in them if you dont keep up their circuhition. If you would have them lull 
 of viiTor, you mu8t keep them in brisk motion. Give them vent, scope, range, 
 a fiefd to cour.se over and iceishls to carry. Keep them pent up and they 
 will rot within you. If you would do the cause of human rights real service 
 hv vour principles any where, you must carry them every ickere. If you quit 
 liiem in a stor.n, thev'll quit you in a calm. Do you ask hoir you shall live 
 out your anti-slavery principles 1 1 answer, if they are really ui you, you 
 can't help living them out, all the time, everywhere, and in everything. As 
 to the how, the principles themselves, if you have really got them, will take 
 care of that. Relv upon it, they will find vent ; you need'nt cut a passage 
 for them, they'll force one ; nor hang a door, nor send in a deputation to cs- 
 
16 ANTI-SLAVERY ALMANAC. [1841. 
 
 cort them out. and get them under headway. They'll <rcncrate their own 
 steam, if you dont put out the fires. You miwht as well ask how powder 
 shall explode when fire touches it, as how abolition principles shall be acted 
 out in such a pro-slavery atmosphere as lllis this country. The genuine 
 article may always be known by its instant combustion the moment a spark 
 of slavery lights upon it. Try yours, and if they dont go off instanter, throw 
 them away and get better ones. 
 
 COMPENSATION. 
 
 Slaveholders insist upon compensation if they emancipate their slaves. 
 Compensation ! for what'? for averting the wrath of God? for escaping the 
 plagues of Egypt, and the fate of Pharaoh 1 For exchanging two and a hjrif 
 millions ofeneraics for as many grateful friends! For transfoniiing two and 
 a half millions of stupid, indolent drudge?, whose didl tread stamps barrenness 
 upon fertility, into efficient laborers under whose vigorous arms sterility itself 
 would teem with harvests'? Compensation for enhanced value of soil, in- 
 creased crops and cheaper labor'? Compensation for the influx of hardy emi- 
 grants, now barred by slavery from the southern states \ For tlie upspringing 
 of universal enterprise, of the mechanic arts, of internal improvements, and 
 of schools as the dro})s of the morning ? For the effectual protection of pro- 
 perty and person against Lynch-law 1 Compensation! and lor what'? For 
 exchanging want for plenty, terror for security, weakness and exposure 
 for strength and bulwarks of defence, disgrace for honor, and abhorrence and 
 curses for the shout of millions rising up and calling them blessed 7 Emanci- 
 pation — simple justice (and less than that) to the oppressed — would not only 
 be peace, satVty, prosperity, power and renown to the oppressor, but eventually 
 money in his pocket, yet. he cries out for pay ! A rescue from weakness, ste- 
 rility, corruption of morals, bankruptcy, disunion, Lynch-lavp, servile wars, 
 and universal execration, is not enough — the slaveholder must have a money 
 compensation besides! If you save him Irom ruin, you must pay a round 
 sum for the privilege ! 
 
 A man rushes to the brink of a precipice — " Stop," screams his friend. — 
 " Stop?" cries the madman, "not I, unless you'll pay nie for it." Another 
 ties a millstone round his neck, and is just leaping into the sea. " Cut loose," 
 a hundred voices shriek. " Cut loose ?— never !" says the suicide, without 
 compensation, " its my property !'' He was a mean wrt tch truly, who, when 
 he had hung himself accidentally, while swinging on his bridle, and was cut 
 down by a passer just at the last gasp, bawled after his deliverer, " Pay nie 
 for cutting my bridle ! Pay mc for cutting my bridle !" 
 
 HINTS TO AN'TI-SLAVRUY DEBATERS. 
 
 1. Keep your temper. 2. Stick to the point, and keep your opponent to it. 
 
 3. Dont ridicule liis arguments, but show that they ridicule themselves. 
 
 4. Make no random statements, prove all things. 5. Have your proofs 
 ready, so that you can turn to them at once. Nothing tires and provokes an 
 audience like fumbling and fumbling for what you should have at your

 The lantl for me, the land tor me, 
 
 Whoie every Uving soul is free I 
 
 Where winter may eome, where storms may rave. 
 
 But the tyrant dare not bring his slave! 
 
 I should hate to dwell in a summer land, 
 Wliere tlovvers spring up on every hand; 
 Where the breeze is glad, and the heavens are fair, 
 But the tiint of blood is every where! 
 
 I saw a jw^sant sit at his iloor. 
 When his weekly toil in the ti; Id was o'er; 
 He sat on the btMU'h his gran.lsire made — 
 He sat in his tather's walnut shaile. 
 
 'Twas the orolden hour of an April morn; 
 Lightly the lark sprung tVom the eorn ; 
 The hlossouiing trees shone purely white, 
 And the young leaves ijuivereil in the light. 
 
 The Sabbatli bells, with a holy glee. 
 Were ringing o'er woodland heath and lea, 
 'Twas a season whose livnig intluenee ran 
 Through air, through earth and the heart of man. 
 
 ISo feeble joy was that peasant's lot, 
 As his ehildren gambolled before his cot, 
 And arehly mimiektHl the toils and cares 
 That coming life shall make truly theirs. 
 
 But their mi)ther. with break t'ast call, anon 
 Came t'orth, and their merry masque was gone; —

 Lightly he rose, and lightly he trod. 
 To pour out his soul in the house of God. 
 
 And is THIS the man, — thou vaunting knave I — 
 
 Thou hast dared to compare with t!ie weeping slave! 
 
 Away ! lind one slave in the worKl to cope 
 
 With him, in his heart, his home, his hope! 
 
 He is not on thy lands of sin and pain, — 
 
 Seared — scarred with the lash — cram{Hul with pain; * 
 
 In thy burning clime where the heart is cold, 
 
 And man, like the beast, is bought and sold! 
 
 He is not in the East, in his gorgeous halls. 
 Where the servile crowd botore him tails,

 And he vanishes from the tyrant's path. 
 
 But O, — thou slanderer, false and vile ! — 
 
 Dare but to harm that garden-stile ; 
 
 Dare but to outrage that lowly thatch; 
 
 Dare but io force that peasant's latch; 
 
 And thy craven soul shall wildly quake 
 
 At the thunder peal the dead shall wake; 
 
 For a myriad tongues of fire shall sound, 
 
 As if every stone cried from the ground. 
 
 The indignant thrill, like flame, shall spread, 
 
 Till the isle itself rock beneath thy tread ; 
 
 And a voice from people, from peer, and throne, 
 
 Shall ring in thy ears—' Atone ! Atone !' 
 
 For Freedom here is an equal guest, 
 
 In princely hall, and in peasant's nest; 
 
 The palace is filled with her living light. 
 
 And she watches the hamlet day and night.

 Where every hving soul is free I 
 
 Where winter may come, — where storms may rave — 
 
 But the tyrant dare not bring his slave ! 
 
 " PREJUDICE AGAINSTCOLOR"-APRO.SLAVERY FALSEHOOD. 
 
 Givin<T things wronrr names is the commonest lie in the world; and has 
 done mo^e hurt than all other lies put together. If sin is to be measured by 
 the mischief it does, then he who gives bad things good names, or good things 
 bad names, i^ the chief of sinners: '" Thou hast a devil, said the Jews, to 
 him who was purity and love. '' He casteth out devils by Beelzebub, cried 
 the Pharisees, though they heard from his own hps that he did it^' by tne 
 finoer of God." With what a consuming glance did the bon ot bod con- 
 front those blasphemers while he uttered their doom ! ''He t'lat shall blas- 
 pheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness. Well did the in- 
 dicrnant prophet give vent to his holy burnings in a " woe unto him that 
 caTleth evil good and good evil, that puttelh darkness for hght and light tor 
 darkness." So long as a man who cherishes base teehngs seeks to get 
 credit for beincr better than he is, he will try to hide his wickedness under a 
 good name; and if he can contrive to give it such a name as will P"t every 
 body upon the wrong track, by turning attention from the vile thing itselt to 
 something quite harmless, the cheat is perfect,, he may wear the mask with- 
 out fear of detection, palm himself ofl" for a saint, and be canonized vAhen 
 he dies. iMany a devil has thus passed for an angel by stealing his 
 robe. Illustrations of this swarm every where. The words quoted at he 
 head of this article furnish one of them. Those who indulge ^e feeling 
 called "prejudice against color," have given it that name, not to describe 
 v:hat it is, but to justify it, by representing it to be a ^P°"^J"^°",7"f. f^^'- 
 pressible feehng, resulting from the constitution of the mind, and "cited by 
 contrariety of color. It is, forsooth, " prejudice against color, a deep aver- 
 sion to 'a certain tinge of the skin, which, originating in '"nature «"d being 
 an ordination of Providence, is to be reverenced and cherished ! Jhus a

 COLONIZATION. 
 
 Let no abolitionist dream for a moment that colonization is dead. The 
 spirit of it will live while slavery hves;it is itself the essence ot slavery, and 
 a more dangerous poison. We say more dangerous, because it wears a talse 
 label If like slavery, it went under its true name, its capacity tor mischiet 
 would be cut down to a fraction. The great duty of abolitionists respecting 
 colonization, is to tear off it.s mask; to show that its zeal tor the tree co- 
 lored man is, at the north, a zeal to get him out of the xoay, because i de- 
 spises and hates him, and, at the south, it is a zeal to separate colored tree- 
 men from colored slaves, that it may hold the latter more easily and sately , 
 and that in all parts of the country its zeal for Africa is, in a majority ot 
 cases, assumed as a decoy to entrap the missionary feeling of the church into 
 its support, and to enlist that mawkish sentimentality which whines about 
 the ''African slave trade," and sighs over the horrors ot the "middle pas- 
 sage = ' but is deaf as an adder to those moans and waihngs, that come surg- 
 infr up like the sea, from ten thousand southern helds, smoking with the 
 blood of human scourgings. To every abolitionist we say, don t let down 
 for an instant your vigilance, thinking that the spirit ot colonization is either 
 dead or asleep, or starving out, or tired of hunting its prey, or touched, either 
 with miscrivincrs or shame; but watch it as you would an assassin on his lurk 
 ready to leize 1iis arm whenever uplifted for its stroke. Let every abolitionist 
 lay it to heart anew that the spirit of colonization is a spirit relentless as trie 
 arave aTainst the people of color. It scorns, spurns, persecutes, dooms, and 
 makes tTicm its prey- From night to day, from day to night, it prowls among 
 them seeking whom it mav devour. Every man who has had his eyes, ears 
 and heart open the last eight years, knoxos that love for the slave, or for the 
 people of color, or for Africa, has never been the vwrin;:^ T^otcer of coloniza- 
 tion Thanks to one of the principal founders of the colonization society tor 
 the frankness with which he acknowledged this. Rev. Dr. Fmley published 
 a letter at the time the American Colonization Society was organized, stating 
 the rea-sons for its formation, ^s first reason for removing the tree people 
 of color to Africa was "WE shall be rid or them." bvery body know.s 
 that Dr. Finley was, in the free states, the first great apostle ot colonization, 
 and that his " benevolence, philanthropy and piety" are constantly reterred to 
 by colonizationists to prove the purity of their entei-prise. ^-^^t l^r. i-mley 
 testify to his own benevolence and that of his associates— hear him : vy E 
 SHALL BE rid OF THEM." Just as the Jews exhibited therr benevolence to- 
 wards Jesus bv crying " Away with him." They covered up their hatred 
 of Christ by feigning a zeal for God. If thev had stated the triTe reason tor 
 crucifying him, instead of " he blasphsmeth," it would have been, we sliall 
 be rid q/'/ii??i."

 BUYERS OF SLAVE PRODUCTS, PARTNERS IN A 
 SLAVE-HOLDING FIRM. 
 
 Most of the work in our cotton factories is done by mrls. Now «ud- 
 Dose the owners of these factories held all these girls as slaves. Suppose t^he^ 
 ha ^ torn them from their parents, chained them in coffles. and driven them 
 to their establishments, where they keep them under drivers, and the whip 
 from daylight tu dark, half-fed, half-clothed, with no bed but the floor S 
 ground and no bedding but a blanket, branded with hot irons bent und^r 
 iron yokes, hung up naked and whipt till covered with blood, gashed with 
 knives, bruised with bl.d.eons, their teeth knocked out, their earf crop" Tnd 
 f they escape, hunted witli dogs and maimed with bullets, and dragaed back

 our factoiies-their inmates thus imprisoned, scourged, voked, fettered 
 branded, bleeding, sundered, naked and tamished-new Victims l^ougl t in 
 every day, and fresh hunters sent out to prowl. Reader, put it to your con- 
 science ; would yo» patronise such factories'? Would vou buy those spoils 
 tiL h.l7;;.^'l^?*^r' ""^'r^'^y ^^ "^requited toil, (that is as the dust of 
 the balance,) but the product ot starvation, nakedness, bereavement the

 duct of imbrrded humanity, annihilated rights, rent ties, cloven hearts 
 quenched mind and i,nmortal longings cruslfed to death. Yea, vwre-ihe 
 product of a system kept in op ration solely by the sale of articles wrou-jit 
 
 dyed tabiics could not find a market-a system sanctioned, strengthened and 
 perpetuated by the money countenance, and respectability of every purchaser. 
 In the name of God and humanity, we push the question home, Would 
 5 ou support such factories, would you lay down your monev on those accursed 
 counters? Would you crowd through those thronged iiatewavs, and stand 
 amidst those shriek., vyrung hands, dishevelled hair', and frantic welterings, 
 a cooZ customer 7 W ould you bribe the mammon wretches who hold them to 
 s art oil tresh kidnappers on their prowls ? Would you hire them to dracr in 
 tresh capUves by paying them for whatever they can wrino- out of them ^° 
 
 INow what we have supposed respecting these factories, every abolitionist 
 knows IS the naked reality of practical slavery in the United"States. All 
 these outrages are actually inflicted upon the slaves of the south: for the 
 purpose of wringing from them the cotton, rice, sugar, molasses, and tobacco, 
 wntracted tor by northern merchants, and paid for with northern money 
 Iheaemand is the cause, the supply is the effect; and the slaveholder's 
 tortures and robberies are the sole weans used to produce the effect Who- 
 ever buys, whoever uses the products of slave-labor creates the demand, he 
 plies the cause, he produces the effect, he uses the means. If you buy or use 
 the products of slave-labor, the slaveholder is your agent in all the tortures 
 he employs to extort that labor for which you pay him. You keep him in 
 countenance by paying him well for what he whips out of his slaves. You 
 tne buyer and consumer, are the prime mover of the whole. You are the 
 mainspring of the entire machinery of slavery. You originate, direct, and 
 control Its action. It the mainspring dont act, the machinery stops, the slave 
 IS no lon-er tortured, and no longer a slave. Do you say, " I am only a 
 Vart ot the mainspring— only one customer out of millions '' Well, for that 
 part— \or your custom, you are accountable— see to it The slave is held 
 not merely by the legal " owner,'' l,ut virtually by a slave-holding/r777, con- 
 sisting of the actua holder, who claims him as property, the overseer, who 
 enforces ihe claim, the merchant, who endorses it, and hires Iiim to persist in 
 It, and lastly, the consumer, who endorses for and employs the whole sys-

 tern of means, instrumentalities, and agencies by faying for the whole. 
 These individuals, the consumer, the merchant, the holder, and the overseer, 
 are actual partners in a slave-holding^rrn. To the former two we say, either 
 DISSOLVE vouR PARTNERSHIP and quit the firm, by refusing to buy and use 
 the spoils, which the other partners in the firm plunder from the slaves, or 
 else stop charging them with sin in carrying on their part of the business, 
 while boasting that your skirts are clear, though you constantly hrihc them 
 to do their part, by keeping them in your employment and paying them 
 their price. 
 
 CAN SLAVES FEELI 
 
 " Some years since, when traveling from Halifax, in North Carolina, to 
 Warrenton in the same state, we passed a large drove of slaves on their way 
 to Georgia. Before leaving Halifax, I heard that the drivers had purchased 
 a number of slaves in that vicinity, and started with them that morning, and 
 that we should probably overtake them in an hour or two. Before coming 
 up witli the gang, we saw at a distance a colored female, whose appearance 
 and actions attracted my notice. I said to the driver, (who was a slave,) 
 ' What is the matter of that woman, is she crazy V ' No, massa,' said he, ' I 
 
 know her, it is . Her master sold her two children this morning to the 
 
 soul-drivers, and she has been following along after them, and I suppose they 
 have driven her back. Don't you think it would make you act like you was 
 crazy, if they should take your children away, and you never see 'em any 
 more!' By this time we had come up with the woman. She seemed quite 
 young. As soon as she recognized the driver, she cried out, ' They'\e gone ! 
 they've gone! The soul-drivers have got them. Master would sell them. 
 I told him I could' nt live without my children. I tried to make him sell me 
 too ; but he beat me and drove me off. and I got away and followed after 
 them, and the drivers whipped me back ; — and I never shall see my children 
 again. Oh! what shall I do!' The poor creature shrieked and tossed her 
 arms about with maniac wildness — and beat her bosom, and literally cast 
 dust into the air, as she moved towards the village. At the last glimpse I 
 had of her, she was nearly a quarter of a mile from us, still throwing hand- 
 fuls of sand around her with the same phrenzied air." — Thko. D. Weld. 
 
 On to his unpaid toil, behold thy brother driven. 
 
 His quivering, tortured flesh, with cruel stripes is riven. 
 
 WILL SLAVES, IP EMANCIPATED, CUT THEIR MA.STERS' THROATS l 
 
 Read the following from the Alexandria (D. C.) Gazette: — 
 Upon a recent visit to the tomb of Wasih.ngton, I was much gratified by 
 the alterations and improvements around it. Eleven colored men were m- 
 dustriously employed in levelling the earth and turfing around the sepulchre. 
 There was an earnest expression of feeling about them, that induced m<) to j 
 inquire if they belonged to the respected lady of the mansion. They stated | 
 they Avere a few of the many slaves freed by George Washington, and they 
 had offered their services upon this last melancholy occasion, as the only re- 
 turn in their power to make to the re.mains of the man who had been more 
 than a father to them ; and they should continue their labors as long as any 
 thing should be pointed out for them to do. I was so interested in this con- 
 duct that I inquired their several names, and the following were given me : — 
 Joseph Smith, Sambo Anderson, William Anderson his son, Berkley 
 Clark, George Lear, Dick Jasper, Morris Jasper, Levi Richardson, Joe 
 Richardson, Wm. Moss, Wm. Hays, and Nancy Squander, cooking for the

 AMISTAD CAPTIVES. 
 
 Nearly all these unfortunate Africans came from Mendi, a country in the 
 latitude of the Galliiias river, and probably from three to five hundred niilos 
 from the Atlantic coast. Their average age is about twenty. Some are as 
 old as thirty; and some as young as eig!;t or nine. 1 bey were seized 
 and, with niany others, hurried down to the coast about the last of April, 
 1839, and there, with threp or four hundred men and boys, and about \\\o 
 hvujdred women and children, were put on board a slave ship for Havana. 
 After the terrible " niddie passage," placed between decks, where the space 
 is less than three feet, they arrived at Havana. Here they were put into 
 one of the large pens, or prison-houses, called Baracoons, and ofl'ered for sale. 
 In a few days Joseph Ruiz and Pedro Montes bought them. Ruiz bought 
 forty-nij.e and Montes bought the children, three little girls. They 
 put them on board the schooner Amistad, a coaster, for Puerto Principe, 
 Cuba, a few hundred miles from Havana. "When they were two or three 
 days out, they were beaten severely, threatened with death, &c. A quarrel 
 took place. The cook and captain were killed, and two sailors fled in a boat. 
 Cinquez, the master spirit of the whole, assumed the command. He estab 
 lished a strict government over his comrades, and compelled Ruiz and Mi n- 
 tes to steer tl;e schooner for the rising sun— their own native A frica ! They 
 did so by day, but in the night they deceived the Africans, and ran towards 
 the United States. 
 
 In this way they arrived on the American coast, and came to anchor off 
 Culloden Point, Long Island. Here some of them landed, made purchases, 
 (paying for all they took,) and shipped water, intending to proceed on their 
 passage, but they were taken jossession of by Lieutenant Gedney, of the 
 U. S Brig Washington, and carried into New London, Conn. Judge Jud- 
 son bound them over to the Circuit Court for trial on the charge of murder, 
 &:c.; but Judge Thompson decided that our courts have no cognizance of 
 offences committed on board Spanish vessels on the high seas. As, however, 
 the vessel, cargo, and Africans had been libelled by Gedney and others for 
 salvage, it was determined that a trial must take place in the District Couit. 
 It was held in January, 1840. Judge Judson decided that the prisoners v ere 
 native Africans, had never been slaves, legally ; he dismissed the libels with 
 costs, and decreed that the Africans should be delivered to the president of 
 the United States, to be sent back to Africa But our government, on the 
 demand of the Spanish minister, appealed to the Circuit Court. This court 
 was held in April, 1840. Judcre Thompson sustained the appeal, and as ime 
 pnrty or the other would appeal to a higher tribunal, whichever way he might 
 decide, tlie case went up to the Supreme Court of the United States as a 
 matter of form: there it will be decided January, 1841. Thus these fpfe 
 MF.N are to be kept in an American jail eighteen months, and at last, perhaps, 
 delivered up to the tender mercies of the Spaniards! 
 
 Nine of the Africans have died. They have been in jail about a year. 
 They have been instructed daily by benevolent persons. They have nsade 
 some progress in reading and speaking the English language; and their con- 
 duct has been very exemplary. James Covey, a native Mendi, providt-ntially 
 brouiiht to this country, acts as interpreter. They are cheerful, inoffensive, 
 grateful, obedient, and are fast throwing off their pagan habits— but long for 
 liberty and their homes. 
 
 Presiilent Van Buren, at the request of the Spanish minister, sent a U. 
 S. ship to New-Haven last winter, to convey the Africans to Cuba, to be 
 given up to the Spaniards, in case Judge Judson had not decided as he did.

 DESCUIPTION OF CINaUEZ, GRAB-EAU, AND JAMES COVEY THE INTERPRETER. 
 
 StNG-GPK, [Cingue,] (generally spelt Cinquez) 
 was born in Ma-ni, in Dzho-poa, i. e., in the open 
 land, in the Mendi country, ills mother is dead, 
 and he lived with his father. He has a wife and 
 three cliildren, one son and two daughttTS. His 
 king, Ka-lum-bo, lived at Kaw-men-di, a large 
 town in the Men-di country. He is a planter 
 of rice, and never owned or sold slaves. He was 
 seized by four men, when traveling in the road, 
 his right hand tied to his neck. i\Ia-ya-gi-la-lo 
 soil him to Ba-ma-dzha, son of Shaka, king of 
 Gen-du-ma, in the Vai country. Ba-ma-dzha 
 carried him to Lomboko and sold him to a 
 Spaniard. At Lomboko he was transferred to a 
 slave-ship, and taken to Havana, 
 
 Gi-T,A-BA-RU, [Grab-eau.] (hare mercy on me,) 
 was born at Fu-lu, in the Men-di country, two 
 moons' journey into the interior. He was the 
 next after Cingue in command of the Amistad. 
 His parents are dead, one brother and one sister 
 living. He is married, but no cliildren ; he is a 
 planter of rice. He was caught on the r.)ad 
 when going to Taurang, in the Bandi country, 
 to buy clothes. His uncle had bought two slaves 
 in Bandi, and gave them in paynent for a debt; 
 one of them ran away, and he (Grab-eau) was 
 token for him. Ke was then sold to a Vai-man, 
 who sold him to Laigo, a Spaniard, at Lomboko. 
 
 James Covf.y, the interpreter for the A fricans, 
 is apparently about twenty years of age; was 
 born at Benderi in the Men-di country. Covey 
 was taken by three men, in the evening, from his 
 parents' house, he was carried to t!ie Builom 
 country, and sold as a slave to the king of the 
 Bulloms. He was afterwards sold to a Portu- 
 guese, living near Mani. After staying in this 
 place about one month. Covey was put un board 
 a Portuguese slave-ship, which was cayjtured by 
 a British armed vessel, and carried into Sierra 
 Leone. Covey thus obtained his freedom, and 
 remained in this place live or six years, and was 
 taught to read and write in the English language, 
 in the schools of the Church Missionary Society. 
 Covey's original name was Kaic-ue-li, which 
 sigrnifies, in Mendi, war-road, i. e., a road dangerous to pass, for fear o^' being 
 taken captive. In Nov. 1838, he enlisted as a sailor on boaid the British 
 brig of war Buzzard, commanded by Captain Fitzgerald. It was on board 
 this vessel, when at New-York, in Oct. 1839, that James was found, am! by 
 the kindness of Capt. Fitzgerald his services as an interpreter were procured.

 THE BLIND BOY. 
 
 A Virginian, on his way to Missouri, was recently passing through Ohio 
 with two women and their children, held hy him as slaves. The elder 
 of the women had been ton^ away from several of her children, who were 
 left, behind in Virginia, in sla.'ery. One of them, a helpless bhnd boy, her 
 brutal master sold fiom her for ti^e paltry sum of one dollar! 
 
 Come back to me, nvther! why hnger away, 
 From thy poor little bhnd boy, the long weary day I 
 I mark every footstep, I i.'st to each tone, 
 And wonder my mother sJi^iuld leave me alone. 
 
 There are voices of sorrow and voices of glee, 
 But there's no one to joy or to sorrovv^ with me; 
 For each hath of pleasure and trouble his share, 
 And none for the poor little blind boy will care. 
 My mother, come back to me ! close to thy breast, 
 Once more let thy poor little blind one be prees'd ; 
 Once more let me leel thy warm breath on my cheek, 
 And hear thee in accents of tenderness speak. 
 
 O, mother! I've no one to love me — no heart 
 Can bear like thine own in my sorrows a part; 
 No hand is so gentle, no voice is so kind. 
 Oh ! none like a mother can cherish the bhnd. 
 
 Come back to me mother ! why linger away, 
 From thy poor little bhnd boy the long weary day 1 
 I mark every footstep, I list to each tone. 
 And wonder my mother hath left me alone. 
 Poor blind one ! No mother thy wailing can hear, 
 No motiier can hasten to banish thy fear; 
 For the slave-owner drives her o'er mountain and wild, 
 And for one paltry dollar hath sold thee poor child. 
 Ah ! who can in language of mortals reveal 
 The anguish that none but a mother can feel, 
 When man in his vile lust of mammon hath trod 
 On her child, who is stricken and smitten of God ! 
 
 Bhnd, helpless, forsaken, with strangers alone, 
 She hears in her anguish his piteous moan ; 
 As he eagerly listens — but listens in vain, 
 To catch the lov'd tones of his mother again. 
 
 The curse of the broken in spirit shall fall 
 On the wretch who hath mingled this wormwood and gall, 
 And his gain hke a mildew shall blight and destroy.

 WHO SHAI-L PRAY FOR THE SLAVE 7 
 
 We have agents to speak for the slave, but who shall pray for him 1 We 
 have editors and others to write for the slave — but who shall pray for him 1 
 We have societies, and multiplying hosts to labor for the slave — but who shall 
 pray for hirq 1 We have ministers — mfeic of them, thank God, who dare to 
 preach for the slave — but who shall pray for him 1 We have statesmen, here 
 and there one, who plead for the slave — but who shall pray for him 7 We 
 have multitudes who petition for him, and though oft repulsed, still petition —

 but who shall pray for the slave "^ Shall it be true, that whnt is left for all to 
 do, will be done by none ] God forbid ! Who, then, shall pray for the slave ? 
 All — all the children of prayer. Lecturers must pray for him, if they would 
 speak, well for him: editors must pray tor him, if they would write well for 
 him: ministers must pray for him, if they would preach well for him: states- 
 men must pray for him, if they would plead well for him: petitioners must 
 pray for him, if they would have their prayers received and answered. 
 
 PRAV FOR THE SLAVE. 
 
 Abolitionists, do you pray for the slave? I dont ask whether you labor for 
 liim, or give for him, or speak or write for him, or vote or petition for him. 
 But do you pray for the slave 1 If this part of the work is not ilone faithfully, 
 rely upon it, nothing else will be icell done. And if this be done as it should 
 be, no other duty to the slave will be neglected. I dont ask wliother you 
 mention him in your petitions at the monthly concert, or in the conference 
 room, or at the family altar, or in the closet, or at set times and places, or in 
 set postures, or set phrases, or in connected expressions or ejaculations — but 
 do you PRAY for the slave ? Do you put your souls in his soul's stead, and 
 wrestle with God for his deliverance ] Do you pi ay as much, and plead as 
 fervently, and wrestle as agonizingly as you would if you firmly believed that 
 it is God that must redeem him if he ever is redeemed, and that He surely 
 
 Wir.L Di) IT ? 
 
 Prayer is indispensable. It will strengthen our hearts and our hands 
 while we toil. It will soften and sweeten our spirits, and prepare us to speak 
 the truth in love. It will fill us with that holy courage so needful amid the 
 popular violence and haughty menaces that beset us. It will keep our mo- 
 tives pure, and our eye single. It will buoy us above the pollu^ons of worldly 
 expediency, and poise us immoveably in the pure upper air of principle. It 
 will draw down into our councils wisdoni from above, and arm our measures 
 with the energy of faith. 
 
 Though prayer is not a substitute for other instrumentalities, yet it is 
 above all, as God is above man, and operates with and through all. There- 
 fore, as we would have God co-operate with us in the deliverance of the en- 
 slaved, let us EXALT PRAYER. 
 
 PRAY FOR THE .SLAVEHOLDER. 
 
 O! forget him not ye who plead for his slaves. He needs your prayers. 
 God is arrayed against him. "If he turn not he will whet his svv'ord : he 
 hath bent his bow and made it ready." O pray for him ere the bent bow 
 twangs above him, and the "arrows of the Almighty" drink up his spirit. 
 He needs your prayers. Never was mortal more destitute of prayer. Re- 
 member that no effectual prayer can go up for the slaveholder except from 
 those who pray for the deliverance of the slave. As ye love his soul, as ye 
 hate his sins, as ye deprecate his doom, pray for the guilty slaveholder. 
 
 PLEAD THE PROMISES. 
 
 Not to pray for the slave is almost as great a sin as slavery itself. It is 
 practical unbelief of the promises, and makes God a liar. Think of the 
 promises of God for the deliverance of the enslaved ! The Bible is full of 
 them. Here is a single specimen out of hundreds; " The Lord executeth 
 righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed," (Ps. 103, 6.) How 
 positive — how emphatic — how universal — how unconditional ! And yet 
 there is one condition, though not expressed. " Thus saith the Lord God: 
 I will yet for this be enquired of by the house of Israel, to do it for them." 
 Then plead the promises. 
 
26 ANTI-SLAVERY ALMANAC. [1841. 
 
 "HE MY ENEMY, MASSA." 
 The following was first published in the London Christian Observer : — 
 A slave in one of the islands of the West Indies, who had originally come 
 from Africa, having been brought under the influence of rchgious instruction, 
 became singularly valuable to his owner, on account of his integrity and gen- 
 eral good conduct. After some time his master raised him to a situation of 
 some consequence in the management of his estate; and on one occasion, v.ish- 
 ing to purchase twenty additional slaves, employed hira to make the selection, 
 giving him instruction to choose those who were strong and likeiy to make 
 good workmen. The man went to the slave market and commenced his 
 scrutiny. He had not long surveyed the multitude offered for sale, before he 
 fixed his eye upon one old and decrepit slave, and told his master that he must 
 be one. The master appeared greatly surprised at his choice, and remonstrated 
 against it. The poor fellow begged that he might be indulged ; when the 
 dealer remarked, that if they were about to buy twenty, he would give them 
 the man in the bargain. Th'e purchase was accordingly made, and the 
 slaves W'cre conducted to the plantation of their master; but upon none did 
 the selecter bestow half the attention and care that he did upon the poor old 
 decrepit African. He took him to his own habitation, and laid him upon 
 his own bed ; he fed him at his own table, and gave him drink out of his 
 own cup: when he was cold, he carried him into the sunshine; and when 
 he was hot, he placed him under the shade of the cocoanut-tree. Astonished 
 at the attention this confidential slave bestowed upon a fellow slave, his mas- 
 ter interrogated him upon the subject. — He said, " You could not take so 
 much interest in the old man, but for some special reason : he is a relation of 
 yours, perhaps your father?' " No, massa," answered the poor fellow, " he 
 no my fader." "He is then an elder brother';" "No, massa, he no my 
 broder!" "Then he is an uncle, or some other relation 1" "No. massa, he 
 no be my kindred at all, nor even my friend !" " Then," asked the master, 
 "on what account docs he excite your interest T' "He m.y enemy, massa," 
 replied the slave, " he sold me to the slave dealer ; and my Bible tell me, when 
 my enemy hunger, feed him, and when he thirst, give him drink." 
 
 SIMON MOODY AND HIS MASTER. 
 
 Mrs. Maiy L Gage, wife of the Pi.ev. V7m. Gage, of Ross Co. Ohio, tells 
 the following story in a letter to the Female A. S. Society of Reading, Mass. 
 The facts are well known in and around Chilicothe, Ohio ; — 
 
 " Simon Moody, with whom we are acquainted, was freed some years since 
 by his master, a Virginian planter, and furnished with a horse to take him to 
 Ohio. He had gone but a little way, when he returned — told his master he 
 had given him all he needed, the best Of gifts, and he came back to leave the 
 horse. " I have my free papers — I can get to Ohio. Massa may need the 
 horse — I am free — I can work and buy one." He came to Chilicothe, 
 worked until he had money enough to buy a farm ; has now a good house, 
 and his farm is well stocked. 
 
 Going to Chilicothe to market one day, his attention was directed to a 
 crowd of boys running and hallooing after a drunken man. Simon came up 
 with the crowd just as the man fell in the street : he looked over the boys' 
 heads, recognised the stranger, rushed through the crowd, embraced the 
 prostrate body, crying out — " O ! master, master !" He took him into his wag- 
 gon, carried him home, clothed hira well, and told him that he would take 
 care of him as long as he lived, and never ask him to do a stroke of work. 
 
 The old master had become dissipated — lost his property, and was on his 
 way to see his friends in Kentucky. — He spent some time with Simon, who 
 furnished him with money to pursue his journey, and at parting said, " Now, 
 
1841.] ANTI-SLAVERY ALMANAC. 27 
 
 master if your friends in Kentucky will not own you, come live with me, 
 and welcome." After a few months, he returned in as pitiable a condition 
 as before. Simon again supplied his wants, and helped him on to Virginia." 
 
 OUT OF THINE OWN MOUTH WILL I C0NDE^LN TliEK. 
 
 John C. Calhoun, a South CaroUna slaveholder, said, in a speech in con- 
 gress in 1833, "He who earns money— who digs it from the earth m the 
 sweat of his brow, has a just title to it against the universe. No one nas a 
 right to touch it without his consent, except his government, and it only to 
 the extent of its lecritimate wants— /o iakp. more is robbery. benjamin 
 Watkin^ Leii^h, a Vir^rinia slaveholder, in his speech before the Virginia 
 convention in 1829, said, "Every man is entitled to the property he has 
 earned by his own labor .'^ 
 
 THE LEAVEN WORKING. 
 " Whatcrood have you doner' " What slaves have you emancipated!" These 
 que^'tions have been in every body's mouth for years. The temper in which 
 they are uniformly put, shows them to be the mere taunts ot a cavihing spirit; 
 and on this account abolitionists have been at no pains to answer them. Our 
 little almanac has no room for a/uZZ answer, but we will make a beginning. 
 What cTood have abolitionists done? They have kept Texas out ot the 
 Union. Slave-holders admit this, and curse them for it. They have influ- 
 enced legislatures to pass resolutions in favor of the abolition of slavery in the 
 District Sf Columbia: to pass laws iiranting trial by jury to alleged tugitives 
 from slavery. They have secured judicial decisions of supreme courts, settling 
 the principle that if slave-holders bring their slaves within their jurisdiction 
 they are free. They have rescued from slavery hundreds of kidnapped tree- 
 men • they have defended the Amistad captives : they have helped on their 
 way to Canada thousands of slaves who had taken their own bodies into their 
 own possession ; they have unmasked that greatest of all humbugs, the colo- 
 nization society : they have defined, discussed, and enforced the founda- 
 tion principles of our government, and given thrm a far stronger hold upon 
 hundreds of thousands than they ever had before. They have secured a 
 homage to the dignity and sacredness of human rights more proiound than 
 has ever been rendered to them in this republic. They have settled legal, 
 constitutional and biblical quesrions fundamental to human rights : they 
 have <T0t hundreds of ministers to preach against slavery, and thousands of 
 Christians to pray against it, and hundreds of thousands of men and women 
 to pethion against itTthev have abolished the " negro seat" in many churches: 
 thev have given to thousands of colored children the means of education : 
 they have entirely uprooted " prejudice against color'' from many minds, and 
 o-reatlv weakened it in tens of thousands more: they have produced a great 
 change in public sentiment in the free states, on the subject of slavery, and 
 excited in multitudes an abhorrence of slavery that will never die. 
 
 EFFECTS ON SLAVE-HOLDERS. 
 
 The following are some of the effects produced by abolitionists upon slave- 
 holders and thc^'slave states :— They have driven slavery from its coverts into 
 the open field : they have stripped the mask from slave-holders— stopped their 
 whininci about slavery being " an evil," and " entailed" upon them, and how 
 they " would get rid of it, if they could," and forced them to show themselves 
 in their true colors. i ^ i,- i 
 
 Whoever wishes to know what good abolitionists have done, let him asK 
 slave-holders what they think of it. When slave-holders bluster about^the 
 mischief abolitionists have done, remember, that what they call mischiet, 
 means mischief to slavery, not liberty. How happens it that anti-abolitionists 
 never take this easy way of finding out whether abolition is building up

 it because tliey are j)ropping up slavery, or because they are underaiining iti 
 The fact that they gnash with rage upon them, hunt thein like wild heasts, 
 ofifer rewards for their heads, and Lynch or kill all they can catch ; that 
 slave-holding ministers, and churches, slave-lulding legislatures, slave-hold- 
 itig members of con:^ress, and slave-holders iireat and small, are at vv.irk, 
 with the fury of a death struggle, to resist abolition doctrines and measures, 
 shows that they knoic that those doctrines and measures tend t.) overturn 
 tkeir system. We might put in here facts by the hundred, showing how 
 slave-holders are in terror at the effects of anti-slavery societies upon their 
 system. We have rooiu for only a few. 
 
 .SUVK-HOLDKRS IN A PANMC. 
 
 Not long since, most strenuous efforts were made to establish a Southern 
 Review: Judge tl psur of Virginia was secured as its editor, and issued his 
 prospectus, in which he says, " The defence of the peculiar Institutions of 
 the slave-holding states is the great and leading object of the work ;" and 
 adds, "that they are in danger it would be folly to disguise. A party bus 
 arisen in the other states, whose object is the overthrow of the relation of 
 master and slave; and from present appearances it will continue to increase 
 till the object it has in view is consummated, unless efficient inensurrs be 
 adopted to arrest further progress." The editor of the South Carolina Mes- 
 senger, in earnestly soliciting subscriptions for the work, says, " Citizens of 
 the slave-holding states, you are assailed in the most vulnerable point, you 
 have reached the crisis of your fate. If your institutions are ever to be de- 
 fended, no time is to be lost. Delay, in all cases dangerous, would he fatal 
 in this." 
 
 Hon. J. F. Claiborne, of IMississippi, in his speech in congress in 1837, 
 said, '■ Mr. Speaker, their (the aboHtionists) incendiary publications have 
 already done us irremediable mischief. I tell vou, sir, in the name of the 
 50. ODD freemen I represent, that we must be quieted on this question, we 
 must receive a solemn assurance that our rights are neither to be questioned 
 or debated." The editor of the " Charleston (S. C.) Mercury," in trying to 
 stimulate all slave-holders to resist to the utmost the progress of abolition doc- 
 trines, says, " The slave-holding interest, wherever spread, must join their 
 forces and stand in a bodi/, or theij will be hewn doicn and trampled un- 
 der foot." 
 
 Danikl K. Wiiitake-"., late editor of the Southern Review, published at 
 Charleston, South Carolina, in his letters to Dr. Channing, (see Letters of 
 '• Sidney,") referrinix to anti-slavery societies, says, " They are associations 
 that the soith dread." 
 
 FIov Jamks Rhett, of South Carolina, in a speech before the senate of 
 that state, in the winter of 183-^, on the necessity of "putting down" aboli- 
 tioni-i'n, conjures the south by every thing sacred, " not to reaiain titiiidly at 
 rest until this dreadful cloud of calumny, shame, and degradation, is per- 
 mitted to overwhelm us * * * branded as the oppressors of mankind, and 
 the ene nies of our race." The panic into which the doctrines and mea- 
 sures of abolitionists have thrown the south is sho-vn in the fact that Gover- 
 nor BuTi.Ef?, of South Carolina, sent fifty dollars in a letter to Mollis Parker, 
 (now one of the convicts in the Massachusetts state-prison,) in which the 
 governor entreato 1 said Parkor to reveal to him all the machinations within 
 his knowledge of the abolitionists against the " Institution of slavery." Par- 
 ker, it seems, had written to the ijovernor, pro iiisin<j for fifty dollars to make 
 wondertui revelations about abolitionists; but unluckily f()r him, before the 
 remittance of " secret service money" from the South Carolina treasury came, 
 Parker, in trying to "raise the wind" in another way, got into the state- 
 prison, and the letter on its arrival found other hands.

 ANTI-SLAVERY ALMANAC 
 
 29 
 
 GovEKNOR Campbell, of Virginia, in a letter to the secretary of the 
 American Anti-Slavery Society, dated Dec. 4, 1837, says, " Regarding your 
 society as highhj mischievous, I decline receiving any communications 
 
 from It." . , , m 
 
 Governor Bagby, of Alabama, in a letter to Mr. Birney, dated Tusca- 
 loosa, January 6, 1838, says, " It is presuming too much, to expect that the 
 chief magistrate of a free people would give currency to the pubUcations 
 of a society, engaged in a scheme fraught with more vuschierous conse- 
 quences to "theirlnlerest and repose, than any that the wit or folly of man- 
 kind has heretofore devised." 
 
 The Alabama Journal of March 14, 1838, contains a letter from a mem- 
 ber of congress from that state, dated February 19, 1838, from which the fol- 
 lowing is°an extract:— "I am worried almost beyond endurance. As a 
 southern man I am filled with anxiety by the proceedings of the abolitionists. 
 The growth of their numbers, the daring extent of their schemes, their bold- 
 ness and growing power are such, that a crisis will be rapidly precipitated 
 up^^n us. We have great cause to fear the future." 
 
 The Mobile (Ala.) Advertiser thus shows its alarm at the progress of anti- 
 slaverv sentiments :— " The south have an awfll foe in all those who de- 
 mandthe emancipation of their slaves, and who call upon them to give up 
 their property now and for ever.'' 
 
 Samukl Cru.se, a well known slave-holder of Huntsville, Alabama, to 
 whom a copy of the Bible against Slavery had been sent, returned it to New- 
 York with the following note, dated Nov. 9, 1837:— "We respectfully re- 
 quest that no more of like nature be transmitted here, as they cannot 
 possibly be productive of any thing but the most serious agitation of the 
 
 public mind." i • , -vr- 
 
 The celebrated John Randolph, of Roanoke, in his speech in the Vir- 
 ginia Convention, said, " Mr. President, nothing alarins me so much as the 
 fanatical spirit on the subject of negro slavery growing up in the land." 
 
 The New Orleans Commercial Bulletin of January 24, 1839, speaking of 
 abolitionists, says, " They are an organized body, disciplined by skilful lead- 
 ers, conscious of power, combining wealth, talent, religious bigotry, and the 
 fearful influence of the press. Jeer as we might at the impotency of their 
 former proceedings, their strength can no longer be disputed." 
 
 We have on our table a multitude of similar extracts from southern papers, 
 makinsT it plain that throughout the slave states, slave-holders feel their sys- 
 tem shaking under the attacks of abohtionists, and are at their wits' end, 
 casting about in tenor for something to ward off the blows. Every slave- 
 holde 1° has run up his flag of distress and cries of " help, help, against the 
 abolitionists," come up like the noise of waves from all the south. 
 
 C.\USE OF THE PANIC — SLAVE-HOLDERS NOT SCARED FOR NOTHING. ' 
 
 Now what has frightened slave-holders'? Answer— they find that the 
 enemy is in the camp — that the doctrines of abolitionists have taken strong 
 hold in the slave states — listen to their own testimony : — 
 
 Hon. James T. Morehf:ad, late acting governor of Kentucky, in a speech 
 at the last session of the legislature of that state, said, " It is well known, 
 Mr Speaker, that there is a large, respectable, and intelligent party in Ken- 
 tucky, who will exert every nerve, and spare no efforts to dislodge the sub- 
 sisting nshts to our slave population." 
 
 The Lexington Observer, in an article published at the tune of this speech, 
 said, "Some of the brightest ornaments oi Kentucky are of opinion that 
 slavery is a great moral and -political curse.^ 
 
 The North Carolina Watchman, published at Salisbury, says, " We are 
 inclined to believe that there is more abolition at the south than prudence 
 will permit to be openly avoiced." 
 
30 ANTI-SLAVERY ALMANAC. [1841. 
 
 Rev. James Sniylie, clerk of a Mississippi presbytery, and a large slav£> 
 holder, makes the following declaration in the Introduction to his late work 
 on slavery : — " From his intercourse with religious societies of all denomina- 
 tions in Mississippi and Louisiana, the author was aware that the abolition 
 maxim, that slavery is in itself sinful, had gained on and entwined itself in the 
 rehgious and conscientious scruples of vun^y in the community." 
 
 A letter from Maryville (Tennessee) Theological Seminary to the editcr 
 of the Emancipator, dated Feb. 27, 1838, says, "At least one-half of the stu- 
 dents of this theological institution are decided abolitionists, and are very 
 much strengthened by perusing the publications sent by you." 
 
 A letter written by a gentleman residing in the central part of Arkansas, 
 dated B , Arkansas, May 14, 1839, and published in the Obcrlin Evan- 
 gelist, speaking of the working of the anti-slavery leaven in that state, says, 
 "A great many here hold the principles of the abolitionists. An anti- 
 slavery society, auxiliary to the American Anti-Slavery Society, was formed 
 in Bedford county, Tennessee, four years since; James Kennedy, president, 
 Allen Leeper, secretary." 
 
 A petition for the abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia, was sent 
 to the last congress from one of the western counties of Virginia. It was 
 signed by twenty-two citizens, and among them was John Gilraore, one of 
 the county magistrates. 
 
 A gentleman of Frederick County, Maryland, writing to the editor of the 
 Pennsylvania Freeman, says, '* The anti-slavery cause is rapidly gaining 
 ground in thii; section of the country. Three years atjo, abolitionist and 
 insurrectionist were interchangeable terms, and an abolition paper a prodigy ; 
 now anti-slavery papers are read regularly by our most respectable and in- 
 telligent citizens." 
 
 Mr. C. M A TL.iCK, of Pennsylvania, has lately published a letter in the Penn. 
 Freeman, giving an account of a recent abolition discussion near Leesburg, 
 Virginia, at the close of which a rote was taken, and a majority of the meet- 
 ing decided against slavery. 
 
 In the celebrated debate in the Virginia legislature, Mr. Brown of Peters- 
 burg said, " Sir, if abolitionists will persevere in agitating this question, the 
 time is not distant when the harassed slave-holder may find it a relief to 
 embrace even this alternative" — (that of abandoning the state.) 
 
 A number of anti-slavery societies have recently been formed in Pennsyl- 
 vania, near the line of Virginia, and many Virginians have become members. 
 One of these societies has one hundred and fifty members, of which about 
 one-third are citizens of Virginia. The president of another society was 
 lately high-sheritf of Piockingham County, Va. The last annual report of 
 the Maryland Colonization Society complains of abolitionists as follows : — 
 " It would have been supposed that Maryland, one of the slave-holding states, 
 would have been free from abolition ; but aboHtion works its mischiefs in 
 Maryland as well as elsewhere." The substance of its accusations against 
 abolitionists is, that they are able to " counteract the movements of the so 
 ciety," — that they '• track the steps of its agents," and that " it is now easy 
 for them to render useless the labors of the agent of the society." 
 
 Mr. John Nkedles. of Baltimore, is one of the Vice Presidents of the 
 American Anti-Slavery Society. 
 
 At the last session of the legislature of Delaware, a petition praying for the 
 abolition of slavery in that state, and signed by three hundred and nineteen 
 women of the city of Wilmington, was presented and referred to a committee. 
 
 Dr. Nkl.sov, late president of Marion College, Missouri, in a letter to the 
 editor of the Emancip:itor, dated August 27, 1839, speaking of the progress 
 of anti-slavery principles in Missouri, during the last four years, says, " I 
 look at the present state of affairs with more than astonishment ! I am aston- 
 ished, (not because I did not expert that discussion would be certain victory ; 
 
1841.] ANTI-SLAVERY ALMANAC. 31 
 
 but) that debate, so seldom and so faint, should have a result so speedily ! 
 Even a little ajritation has had an effect, blessed— promising — oh, how pro- 
 mising ! ! ! What will the next four years accomplish 1" 
 
 Mr. E. Sibley, writing from Bardstown, Kentucky, to the editor of Zion's 
 Watchman, New- York, says, "Much abolition leaven is circulating here. 
 
 Yesterday I fell m with the Rev. Mr. M of the Kentucky Conference. 
 
 I found him a decided aboliHonist I am convinced there is much more 
 abolitionism here than the north is generally apprised of." 
 
 Hon. vVm. Slade, member of congress from Vermont, received a letter 
 from a slave-holder, dated June 5, 1838, thanking him for his abolition 
 speech in congress, ami beseeching him to continue his war upon slavery. 
 
 Rev. VVm. Allan, son of Rev. Dr. Allan, a slave-holder of Huntsville, 
 Alabama, said, in a speech in Ohio in 1637, '' While I was attending an 
 anti-slavery meeting in New-York last spring, a Methodist minister from 
 Virginia came upon the platform and said, ' Go on, brethren, God speed you. 
 I know of thousands in Virginia who arc with you.^ " 
 
 Dr. Amos Farnsworth of Groton, Mass., gives the following testimony: — 
 " I rccelitly had an interview with a slave-holder from the south, who, during 
 a warm discussion on slavery, made the following acknowledgment: 'The 
 wor.^t of it is, we have fanatics among ourselves, and we dont know what to 
 do with them, for they are increasing fast, and are sustained in their opposi- 
 tion to slavery by the abolitionists of the north.' " 
 
 Rkv. Mr. isHAM, late editor of the Michigan Observer, published not long 
 since the following in his p.^per : — " I have just received a letter from a highly 
 valued friend in Mississippi, who says, ' I was recently conversing with a 
 lawyer of Woodville in this state, a Kentuckian by birth and education, who 
 said. The abolitio7iists stand on the right ground, and their "principles must 
 prevail.' " 
 
 Rev. Henry T. Cheever, of Maine, writing from Louisiana (where he 
 spent a year and a half) to the editor of the New- York Evangelist, says, 
 " The impression is becoming common among American planters, (I speak 
 from personal knowledge only of Louisiana,) that in consequence of the 
 doings of England, and the rapid advance of abolition principles at the north, 
 slavery must ere long come to an end." 
 
 General Duff Green, late editor of the United States Telegraph at 
 Washington city, in one of the numbers of that paper says, " We believe 
 the south has nothing to fear from a servile war. We do not believe that 
 the abolitionists intend to excite the slaves to insurrection. We believe that 
 we have most to fear from the organized action upon the consciences and fears 
 of the slave-holders themselves ; from the insinuation cf their dangerous 
 heresies into our schools, our pulpits, and our domestic circles." 
 
 A slave-holder in Virginia, the owner of one hundred slaves, wrote to 
 Arthur Tappan, of New-York, in 1836, declaring himself convinced that 
 slavery was a sin, and avowing his determination to make arrangements to 
 emancipate his slaves. 
 
 Dr. Bailey, editor of the Philanthropist, Cincinnati, Ohio, received a letter 
 from a correspondent in Tennessee, dated March 6, 1840, containing the 
 following: — "As your glorious principles pervade the north, they will find 
 their way south : within the last three or four months, forty-five slaves 
 have been liberated in this county.'^ 
 
 In 1835, William R. Buford, a well known citizfen of Virginia, who had 
 then recently emancipated his slaves, published a letter in the Hampshire 
 Gazette, (Mass.) in which he says, " I think the abolitionists have done, and 
 are doing, a great deal of good V 
 
 In the fall of 1835, a series of articles on the subject of slavery was pu'j- j 
 lished in the Lexington (Kentucky) Intelligencer: in one of the numbers j 
 
32 ANTI -SLAVERY ALMANAC. [1841. 
 
 the writer says, " Much of the preceding matter was inserted in Maj^, 1833, 
 in the Louisville Herald. A great change has since taken place in public 
 sentiment. Colonization, then a favorite measure, is now rtjected for instant 
 emancipation." During the interval of time here mentioned, Birney's letter 
 against colonization was published at Lexington, Ky., and the Kentucky 
 Anti-Slavery Society was formed, with Professor Buchanan of Centre Col- 
 lege at its head. A professional gentleiran residing in Richmond, Virginia, 
 in a letter to the publisher of the Emancipator, dated April 1. 1837, says, 
 " Though a Virginian born and bred, I now consider the anti-slavery cause 
 a just and holy one. Deep reflection, the reading of your excellent publica- 
 tions, and years of travel in Europe, have made me what I am proud to call 
 myself, an abolitionist.''' The Southern Literary Review, published in 
 Charleston, South Carolina, made this declaration in 1837, respecting the 
 effect of anti-slavery discussions upon the slave-holders of that state: — " There 
 are many good men even among us who have begun to grow timid, and to 
 look fearfully around them." Rev. N. H. Harding, a leading Presbyterian 
 preacher in North CaroHna, and a slave-holder, who had, in 1834, visited the 
 north,' and raved against abolitionists, a few months after his return, wrole in 
 a letter to a clergyman in Maine, as follows: — " I feel it a duty to say that 
 my views and feelings have, after mature deliberation and much prayer, been 
 entirely changed, that I am now a strong anti-slavery man. Henceforth it 
 shall be a part of my religion to oppose slavery." 
 
 But we must stop short for want of room, though scores of testimonies, 
 similar to the preceding, now lie on our table. The foregoing are sufficient 
 to show that the leaven of anti-slavery principles is powerfull}' at work in the 
 slave states. The reader perceives that we have withheld the names of a 
 number of the persons whose testimony is given in the preceding details. To 
 publish them would be to put in peiil the lives of the individuals in question. 
 
 We have, in conclusion, a word to say in replj- to the question. " What 
 slave-holders have yon induced to emancipate their slaves, and how many 
 have they set free ?" It is impossible to state the number with any accuracy. 
 Probably not more than half the emancipations that have taken place within 
 a few years, through the influence of anti-slavery societies and publications, 
 are known to abolitionists. The following is a list of such emancipations as 
 have come to the writer's knowledge. 
 
 Benjamin Lundy, late editor of the Genius of Universal Emancipation, 
 informed the writer that the first four cases of emancipation which follow 
 were effected through the instrumentality of that paper: — 
 David Minge, of Charles City County, Virginia, emancipated - - 88 
 John Adamson, of Virginia, emancipated ------ 51 
 
 (" Mr. Adamson was shot by one of his legal heirs in revenge for this 
 act.") 
 A Methodist clergyman in Arkansas emancipated - - - _ 6

 Most of these emancipations have taken place since 1832, and more than 
 three hundred of the slaves were emancipated within the last year. 
 Nearly all the persons vvho Uberated them are known to have been influenced 
 to do it by abolition discussions, pubUcations, &c. To the preceding list of 
 persons who have emancipated their slaves, eight or ten more might be added, 
 but we have not sufficiently accurate information of their names and resi- 
 dences, and the number of slaves emancipated by them, to enable us to give 
 details. 
 
 It will be perceived that some of the persons emancipating do not now live 
 in slave states. We have given in such cases the residences of the slaves 
 emancipated, instead of the present residence of the emancipator.

 The following is an extract from the address of His Excellency Sir Chas. 
 Mktcalf, to the legislature of Jamaica at the close of their session. April 11, 
 1840. We copy it from the Jamaica " Royal Gazette:" — 
 
 " The (jreat work of t>eedom has been accomplished with the MOST 
 BENEFICIAL RESULTS. The easy and independent circumstances 
 of the peasantry, as co npared with those of our own countrymen at home, are 
 very striking. Probably no peasantry, in any other quarter of the globe, 
 have such comforts and advantages. I am very happy to add that in most 
 re.«pects they ajipear to deserve their good fortune. They are, I understand, 
 gentTally orderly^ sober, free froin crime, much improved in their moral 
 habits, constant in their attendance at nublic worship, solicitous for the edu- 
 caUnn of their children, and WILLING TO PAY THE REQUISITE 
 EXPENSE." 
 
 The editor of the Royal Gazette, speaking of this testimony of the gover- 
 nor to the excellent conduct of the emancipated slaves, says, " Sir Charles' 
 opinion of the people is quite correct^ 
 
34 ANTI-SLAVERY ALMANAC. [1841. 
 
 Reader, keep in mind that the emancipated slaves in Jamaica are .to the 
 whites as EIGHTEEN to one! Now read over again the above testimony of the 
 governor to the industry, sobriety, good order, and comfortable condition of 
 these emancipated slaves. Then read it to your neighbor— take it to your 
 newspaper editor— get him to publish it — and, if you can't get it in without, 
 pay for it as an advertisement. " Let there be light." Flash it upon the 
 blushless front of Pro-slavery till it blazes. 
 
 EFFECTS OF EMANCIPATION IN JAMAICA. 
 
 The following testimony has been furnished for theAhnanac by the Rev. 
 D. S. Jnorahant, pasior oi' a church near Kingston, Jamaica, who is now, 
 (June, 1840.) on a visit to this country :— * 
 
 1st. It has sreatly increased the value of all kinds of property.— Land, 
 to the amount'of 60 or 70 acres near where I reside, in Jamaica, has recently 
 been sold for $60 per acre, and had there been ten times as much for sale, it 
 would have sold readily at that price. This land was purchased, a short time 
 before emancipation for $15 dollars per acre. I know of much land which 
 is now leasing for more money yearly than it would have sold for during 
 
 slavery. ^ - t 7 j -d • t 
 
 2d. It has promoted the peace and safety of tne Island. frcMOUS to 
 emancipation it was thought necessary to keep six regiments of soldiers to 
 keep the slaves in subjection, and to secure the safety ot the whites; and 
 also the militia met monthly in each parish. Since freedom was declared, 
 one half of the soldiers have been removed, and in the parish where I live, the 
 militia has ceased entirely to muster. , 
 
 3d It has diminished crime. Pre^^ous to emancipation, jails and houses 
 of correction were generally filled and often crowded: since then they have 
 had very few tenants. In one parish that I visited a short tune since, there 
 was but one person in the jail or house of coiTection, and he a uhite man, 
 and the keeper was under half-pay because he had so little to do, 1 lately 
 visited the jail and house of correction in the parish where I reside and, 
 thoush previous to freedom they had swarms of convicts, yet 1 could find 
 onlv three or four there: at present a part of the premises are converted into 
 a parish hospital, and the cogs of the bloody old tread-mill were encrusted 
 with lust. 1 have traveled in various parts of the island by day and by nignt, 
 and was never insulted or disturbed by the blacks in any way. _ 
 
 4th It has made the laboring population far more xndustrwus.— K 
 sentleman who has been a planter in Jamaica for the last twenty years, told 
 me not loner since that there is undoubtedly far more work done in that island 
 now than er^r before, and any one can see that such is the case. AVherever 
 you look abroad.' vou see forests giving place to gardens, provision grounds, 
 and cornfields, and behold numbers of comfortable houses growing up under 
 the hand of industry and perseverance. In many cases tacy have buit vil- 
 lages since emancipation: I know of one where there are at least one thou- 
 sand inhabitants, and others that are smaller which have been built entirely 
 since freedom, and by those who were formerly slaves. . 
 
 5th. It has called forth a spirit of invention and improvement. During 
 skverv nloucrhs w. re seldom used in Jamaica, and it cost fifteen dollars to dig 
 up and'prcpare an acre of land for planting sugar-cane Smce^emancipation 
 the ploucrh is coming into use. An overseer told me he was then ploughing 
 land ancf preparing it for canes for S'l 75 per acre, instead of paying ^lo to 
 have it duct ip. T he following improvements, now going on there occur to 
 mv mind -A sta^re has been started from Kingston to Spanish 1 own. 
 Roads and streets °are being M' Adamised. A steam mdl bakery ^t Kingston 
 J is now baking from sixty to sixty-five barrels of flour per day^. ^^f^,?!,"! 
 markets are springing up in different parts of the country. At Kingston theie 
 
1844.] ANTI-SLAVERY ALMANAC. ^h 
 
 is now a market every day, while ih the days of slavery there was one per 
 week, and that on the Sabbath. Agricultural societies are forming. Socie- 
 ties for the promotion of civil and religious Uberty, temi^L-ance societies, 
 " te-total" societies, and many abolition societies, with planters, attorneys, 
 and overseers for presidents, vice-presidents, &c., &c. 
 
 6th. Emancipaiion has created an universal desire for knowledge. — Here 
 I could give a host of facts, but two or three must suffice. -In several in- 
 stances the people from a distance of fifteen and some mote than twenty 
 miles, have met and commissioned some two or three, or four, of their num- 
 ber to go in search of a teacher and preacher, and they have come to ine and 
 plead with an eloquence that no Christian's heart could resist. Tljey would 
 say, " Minister, do come and see we, — we all ignorant, and so much big 
 pickaniney that dont know nothing." " Do try for get we teacher — we take 
 *care of him — and all try for learn something about we poor soul." Some 
 break out like this, " We wont me so no longer." Such appeals, with the 
 tearful eye and earnest look, have always overcome me; and I have gone 
 ihither and thither to six or eight ditierent places; and when tor any cause I 
 did not go to them at the appointed time, a man or boy was loaded with pre- 
 sents of fruits, vegetables, fowls, &c., &c., and sent, perhaps barefooted, fif- 
 teen or twenty miles down the mountains to see what was the matter of 
 ''Minister." In one case, when I had to pass through a toll gate, the people, 
 as I was leaving them gave me a paper rolled up, " Here, minister," said 
 they, "is some money to pay your toll-gate." When I opened the paper, I 
 found six dollars to pay tw-enty-five cents. O who would not rejoice to see 
 the oppressed go free in this country, and who that has a heart to feel, 
 or nands to labor, would not employ them to bring about universal emanci- 
 pation. David S. Ingraham. 
 
 CANDIDATES FOR PRESIDENT AND VICE PRESIDENT. 
 
 The question who shall be President and Vice President of the United 
 States for four years from March 1841, will be settled in November 1840. 
 As this almanac is for 1841, and the choice of presidential electors will have 
 taken place before it gets into circulation, and especially as the anti-slavery 
 almanac for 1840 exposed in full the pro-slavery of President Van Buren 
 and General Harrison, we have but a word to say on the subject now. Every 
 abolitionist has learned, through the anti-slavery and other papers, that both 
 of the candidates have, since the publication,j^/f the last almanac, publicly en- 
 dorsed all their previous declarations in favor of slavery, and formally renewed 
 their adhesion to it. To vote for either of them is perfidy to the slave 
 
 AND APOSTACV FROM LIBERTY, 
 
 The question whether it is expedient for abolitionists to make a nomina- 
 tion of their own for President and Vice President has been under discussion 
 for a year past in anti-slavery newspapers and conventions. We shall not 
 argue this question here. Principles, and facts teaching principles, are the 
 proper filling up of an anti-slavery almanac, duestions as to wcasares, or 
 the modes of carrying out principles, are of incalculable importance, and de- 
 mand the most thorough discussion, such a discussion as befits anti slavery 
 newspapers, but which an almanac has no room for. As to the proportion 
 of the abolitionists of the country who have united in making an anti-slavery 
 nomination, James G. Birney of New- York for president, an'cl Thomas Earle 
 of Pennsylvania for vice-president, we have no data for accurate statement, 
 but believe it to be a very small proportion. Not that the great body of abo- 
 htionists doubt the fitness of the men, but assert the inexpediency of the 
 measure.

 No public act of any ecclesiastical body in America was ever so infamous 
 as the passage of the foffovfing resolution by the General Conference of the 
 Methodist Episcopal Church, May ^S, 1840: — 
 
 "Resolved, That it is inexpedient a« d unjustifiable for any 
 preacher to permit colored persons to give te^timotij- against ivhite 
 persons iu auj' state where they are deuied that privilege iii trials 
 at law." 
 
 '.This resolution is outra^eoi^ly unjust, unless the colored Methodists in 
 : Ohio and the slave states are unworthy of belief Let those who recognise 
 80.000 slaves as members of Christ's body, while they thrust a gag into their 
 mouths, tell us if they fellowship liars, or if they bave robbed their Savior's 
 brethren of a right to testify against their plunderers, because slate laws had^ 
 done so before. ^- *
