LETTER. by GEORGE CoMBE.
Me- Maria ". Chapman
DxAe MApAd: 1 deeply regret having delayed 50
loor To write TO you since your kind letter 10 Mrs.
Gamble but we have both suffered from bad health and
been much abroad during the time. Thank God, we
ne now both completely restored and settled here and
once more enjoy the society OF our friends and the
ouber unspeakablc blessings Of Providence.
In all my wsndeIngs In foreign countries have found
intelligent men eager to inquire into the condition and
prospects OF the United States Of North America when
tkey heard that had visited them and the descriptions
which gave choered the hopes Of the ph!lanhrOplss.
sad animated the efforts of political reiorners. But
there dark stain ON the fair face OF the mighty
eonfederscy which 1t was impossible for me either To
hide or 10 psate-that Of Slavery. Again and again
vas the question put 10 me in sorrow, and not In anger,
But hon possible for people so moral, religious,
enhgh;eDed and free 10 defend and practice Slavery
What could answer The contradiction between ey-
ery principle which lies at the foundation OF the Amer
can Institutions, and of the Christian religion, ana
Slavery, was so complete that an angel from heaven
must have stood ashamed aud dumb before every wiz
,aous man who asked him for answer 10 this ques
uoa explained to my inqurng friends that the odous
system was begun under the British Government long
before America was free but Why does II continue 2,
wa the instant eoDder to this statement II there is
alvng being in the United states who does not lament
and shudder al this scouree of humanity he is dead
20, only TO the voice of conscience and OF patriotism
bat TO the sense OF shame aud the honor OF his country
The grand moral lesson which the United States s read
inc 10 the world il neutrslzed nay converted into
bitter mockery Of by Slavery and in every part
u Europe where have travelled is this deplorabe
truth known and amened by the good but hailed with
pleasure and pointed with triumph by the oppressor
and his tools
That the great GOOD God, who certainly rules this
world the principles OF justice and reason may pros
pa your efforts TO root cut the evil OF Slavery Is the
eonstan, desire Of dear Madam, yours very faithfully
GEORGE COMBE.
