friends of human improvement and virtue That by the
mild and gentle influences Of Christian charity, dis

fury, the people of this graap OF Islands have been
converted from the lowest dehaaement Of idoa,ry 10

one balanced Government; rallied to the fold Of civil
liza,ion by written language and constitution, pro-

which can cntte them to be acknowledged by Their
brethren Of the human n separate and indie

acknowledg cement, the people of the North American
Union urged by an interest of their own, deeper
than that Of any other portion Of the Inhabitants Of
the earth--by a virtual right Of conquest, not
the freedom of their brother man by the brutal arm of
physical power, but over the mind and heart by the
celestial panoply of the gospel Of peace and love.
