that number ministers, lawyers, editors,
and other classes of men, combining learn ]
ing, talent and influence, that the Coloni-
cation plan will not do the work, as was
at first supposed, but aoiH, as to preventing
the African slave-trade and civilizing AT
RIGA; and they believe the Colonization
scheme, on the whole, good thing
They say they do not believe in setting the
slaves all free Immediately, and as long as
abolitionists contend for MGtdoctrine they |
will not aid them in any way. Neither
will they devise any better plan. Now l
would say. perhaps with DR.. Osgood, tina:
thea are ansincere in their professionals
For, while professed christians point the
slave TO happiness in another world, they |
virtually say, you cannot be equal with
us until you get there. Yes, that is the !
place for equality but while here on
eGrtb-while here on your native soil,
you must not think of beng considered e.
quail with the pure whites This is, as |
understand it to be, the substance Of the
love manifested towards the ensaved by
many ministers and other protested christ
ians.
Now for Mr.. Emerson's sentiments ad-
vanced. He begins by assuming the
ground that the accusations made by abo-
litionists, that others are not sincere in
their professions of love for the enslaved,
has furnished evidence to the South, that
they have abettors here at the North. He
seems to be very much grieved that they
will continue to furnish such evidence to
the South. Now [ wish to say to Profess
sor Emerson, that think he labors under
a great mistake in this matter. Because
it is not In the nature of rational and intel
ligent men, to take the aceaker testimony,
when they have abundance of the stfou O.
: en-. take it for granted, that Mr.. E. is
aware, that slavery cannot be done away
J, withoutmuch discussion. Well then, how
e was it when Mr. Garrison at first COM
o mencedE Did those who were members
: of Antl-Slavery Societies mob him. and
try to muzzle his press? Or was it those
/ who profeSsed to be lovers of liberty
: haters Of siayery-and still more violent
d lY opposed to immediate emancipation
e How was it in the case of Mr.. Lovoioy
e Did he ask any thing more than the priv.
!. llege Of discussing the merits of slavery
: and the practicability of immediate eman
u cipation And did the members of Anti
D Slavery Societies destroy his press twice
lie and then take his life, because he was de

IN laws gave him? Was it the Abolitonist

to see their danger. And in the aforeme

The next point will notice, is, II
Mr.. Emerson says the main object
writing his letters is, to aid in doing aw
the detus5on at the South, in that they |
lieve they have abettors of slavery at
North. | thank you, sir, for this avow
and will give you some advice in the m

lists entertain correct views on this sabie
and strive to convince others that it is tn
line duty to act in this effort against sZgce,
Y of instead of acting against the friends of i
ar mediate emancipation. In this way, V
