Is LnOu&nl ny kuSIc IL no
need Of so wide difference between Colo
nizationists and Abolitionists as appears to
exist, and il conciliatory course should be
pursued by both parties, the strife would
cease. (D a#....
True, there may be men on both sides of
the .aestion, who have sinister or political
purposes in view, and nothing higher-nei-
Their Of which possess any true regard for the
African race but the honest friends Of the
colored population, have similar objects in
view, though they pursue different measures
TO attain those objects. (2)
Then If we are brethren, let US not fall
out BY the way. The writer of this is still
an underwriting friend and supporter of the
Colonization Society, but finds many mar
shailed under other colors, with whom, in
the main, he is agreed. This agreement may
and ought TO become general. (3) They
let US all strive for the things which make
FOR peace, and endeavor to Gtldy rather than
increase the great and dangerous excitement
Of the age. Let such especially as minister
at the holy altar of God, determine to know
nothing among the people but Christ and
him cruci6ed. Dwelling on this delightful
theme, will enlighten, with heavenly rays,
the dear saints, over which the Holy Ghost
has made them overseers, render them stead
fast in the doctrine and practice of our holy
religion, greatly elevate their piety and ex-
pand their benevolence convince and lead
the uurenewed to the Lamb of God, and f.
nally prepare themselves, with joy, to &C
count to God for their ministry, and secure
Bounding grace Of the Lord Jesus Christ. az |

az Who are the "mGny?" Are they
those who, in the meeting at White Creek,
and on thousand other such occasions, in a
most abusive and unchristian manner, ira
duced and slandered the abolitionists? They
are prayed for and forgiven on our part-let
as many Of them then as truly relent, come
forward and show works meet for repent
ance.
Abolitionist will be just as conciliatory"
as truth, and no more.
(2.) Then there must be very many dis
"hOnest FRIENDS Of the colored population"
if those only are honest who have similar
objects in view," in relation to that people
for it is too manifest to need labored proof,
that the leading objects of the two great con-
tending parties are totally different. Accor-
ding to the constitution, orators, annual re-
ports and monthly organ Of the Colonization
Society, its highest object is, to remove the
colored population Of the United States to
Africa, and give them the rights and privile-
ges Of Africans. The object of the Anti
Slavery Society is TO emancipate them from
the thraldom of slavery and prejudice, here,
athome, on American soil, where they have
been born and bred, and restore to them the
rights and privileges OF Americans. These
objects are as different as Africa and Amer
ica--as principle and prejudice-as selfish
ness and benevolence-as love and hatred
as humanity and cruelty-as justice and
knavery.
(3.) tits one thing to be an " undertaking
friend and supporter Of colonization, Pit is
another thing to be an understanding sup
porter Of il. The fact that our brother sup
poses the two schemes to be fraternal, shows |
his ignorance Of the one or the other, or of
both. The Colonization Society common
ced war against abolition, long before the |
present order Of Anti-Slavery Societies were
in existence. This fact is adduced to disa-
buse as many as have heretofore, with only
one side Of the question presented them,
been led to think that the war between the
two Societies was commenced, and has been
carried on, wantonly, by abolitionists. The
facts are these: The first Anti-Slavery So
ciety Of the present order was organized in
lSs2i whereas the following language is
found IN the Eleventh Annual Report of
the COLONIZATION Society, published in 1928
