ed lovers of liberty. Al the seat of professedly
free government, are to be seen not merely thous-
ands of slaves, but slave prisons, slave markets
slave Dealers and droves of manacled slaves on
their way to be sold in different markets, like
beasts of burden. Were our own countrymen
free from such fragrant inconsistency, what would
be the feelings and the language of our travellers
should they witness in London or Paris, such
denominations as are to be witnessed in Washing
ton? Much has been said of our struggle Tor I'D
erty, and the freedom thus obtained, as an exam
pie for other nations. But what is our example
adapted to teach better than this that II Is very
possible for people to fight for their own hoef,
ty, as one of the inalenahle rights OF man, and
vet become guilty of holding millions Of fellow
benos as nronertv to be bought and sold like asses
and mules, gand subjected to the most degrading
seryitude |? II the principles of liberty and the
RIGHTS of man are better understood in our coun-

in treating men as property surpasseS the guilt of
any other nation For to him that knoweth to do
good, and doeh it not, to him tits SIM and he that
knows his Masters will, and does it not, may just

as there is God who judgeth in the earth, so
surely the slavery of our country will bring evil
on its population. The volcano will explode, and
fill the land with desolation and horror unless the
evil shall be averted by speedy reformation.

1t is settled point, with all the intelligent and
worthy of our people, that they will live and die
in their native land Liberia, Canada, Hayti, or
any other foreign civilized or barbarous land shall
never attract them from their homes, nor ALLEVIATE
them from their country. Here they will remain
and see the salvation Of God" 1t is idle to talk
of getting them away, and he who INDUCES such
an idea or hope-be he coonizationist or an
anti-colonizationst, is smpleton or knave, and
will yet see his wickedness, or be exposed in his
folly.
This being the case, this important point being
settled ought we not, therefore, to use all dill
gence to improve our condition, and elevate our
characters Every thing that can be done by re-
lgous lives cultivated intellects industrious hab-
its, and by enterprisng, economical efforts, should
be done. No departments of trade, mechanics nor
husbandry should be unexplored or untried By as.
We are not willing to live nor aoiH ace hue, as
interiors to our white BRETHREN in any thing, with
which good morals, industrious habits, or culva-
ted intellects have to do Nor will we ever rest
content until our beloved AMERICA is emancipated
from every vestige of slavery and of unhallowed
prejudice, and all her citizens bearing the moral
image of God, are elevated and established in the
true dignity Of men and treemen-and God is
glorifed in them all.-Colored american.
