To he Editors Of thc London Morning Chronicle
In your paper OF tins date You have given, 10
be expected brf report ofa long harangue made at
the Antslavery meeting wish-despte of my
oratorca vanity had been still shorter you should
have omitted the phrase The Americans were the
basest and yilcst of mankind
81 say you should have omitted these words as Won
had not space give the context II is quite tr, th,
did phrase Of that strength and distinctness but
did not il of the Americans rally or
but OF one class OF Americans onlynancly, the pos
SCISSORS OF slaves.
81 should indeed be sorry tonclude all Americans with
M the pale OF degrading cIlnnality which belongs
the beings who call themselves the owners of their fell
lowcrca'ures, and who treat as property their fellow
men-their fcllow-ncn who their equals in every
thing but wealth, education, and crime.
" vi the two tirst the American slave owner bascly
robs the men OF color The crime is the guilty appanage
OF the American white man, who counenances slavery
IN any shape form.
" Can you afford me spacc to rive in n condensed
shape my principal arguments 1t was ,his The Anne
rcans by their great charter the declaration of ndepcn-
dence by winch they established themselves into ma

that they are endowed by their Creator with certain in
alienabe rights amongst Which life LIBERTY and the
pursuit OF happiness To the maintenance of this decla
ration they after an invocation of Providence 'pledge
their lives their fortunes, and their SACRED HoxoR"
Z" Thus adding all the chivarous obligations of honor
to the most solemn sanction of an oath
Think you not that this oath registered in heaven
TO coniound the vile and degraded tTafieers in human
slavery fcs this solemn yow--mpon oath and honor
Is daily hourly, continually, violated by the American
slave propetor and although in despite of its solemnty
and sanction, the American saveowners keep in bond
age two millions and half Of men, yet they must not
aare 10 hope that they can escape the Indignation and
" have the honor to be your obcdient servant
