TTeSu1ttfldu mttuhB-HOuse vi lHuTSudy
and Friday evenings of the past week.. A
Mr.. Walker (colored) lately from Liberia,
visited Salem by invitation, for the purpose
of lecturiDg on Liberia and the prospects of
the Colony" Among others l attended, and
after the address of w, was called Upon to
speak. Hereupon l took exceptions to parts
of bis remarks, in general terms, intending,
If favored with an opportunity the next eve
ming, to show up this diabolical institution
In It's particular phases. At the conclusion of
the second address, a friend moved that
friend Carey be invited to address the meet
ing. Immediately the Hypocrisy of the
Priest" developed itself in the conduct of a
preacher of that pro-slavery Society known
as the an. E. Church." He =" objected to
Mr. Carey speaking, regarding the audience
rs well capable OF judging as MIR. Carey
Now, not questioning the equal, nay superb
or judgment ofmany then present, it seemeth
good to me to attempt, through your journal,
that which / should have striven to do at the
aforesaid meetiicg. viz: show the opposite
ness of the two ocietics-Colonization and
Anti-Slavery.
Your readers will understand that through
Out the meetings the impression was sought
TO be made that the Colonization, like the
Anti-Slavery Society, was brought into be-
ing, and sustained, by the friends Of the col
ored man than which a more unblushing
fhlsehood never escaped the lips of man.
You may imagine my modification at wit
of a pro-slavery P~riesthood-for, "let him
that readeth understand a Clergyman in
vited him to, and entertained him at Salem
Believing, as l do, that the Westinghouse,
the priests and prayers he obtained would
have been denied him had he visited Salem
to advocate the colored mans interest prop
er-that the liberty and elevation of the col
ored man i'll Liberia regarded SO Orthodox,
had it been liberty and elevation in his ma
tive land, would have been taken as pre-
suinptive evidence of his "infidelity ~
fell humbled.
would not be understood as denying or
interfering with the right of Walker to emf
CRATE to Liberia or California, as an indiuidu-
al enterprise, but to countenance and support
a scheme, the most tiendish in its nature,
and oppressive in its tendency, by claiming
for the Colonization Society common cause
and object with the Anti-Slavery, presents
TO my mind the most culpable conduct on
the part of one, who, identified with the OPP
pressed, has been fatally recreant to their in
terest.
He, i'm his chromium on the Colonization
lists, regarded them as "equally seeking the
good of the colored man, and hoped the day
would come, when they, with the abolition
lists, would work in harmony" Hereupon
the Methodist Preacher before alluded to
heard it, and only to be realized by those
who nave heard the word from a loving
Methodist Brother! But in spite of this re-
sponse-a response the result either of igno
rance or hypocrisy-and since he at leas
could "judge as well as Mr.. Carey" VIZ
charge him with the latter-let us look at thu
oppositcness of these Societies.
Among the objects of the Anti-Slavery So
ciety. are "the entire abolition of Slavery il
the United States, the convincing all our iel
low-citizens, by arguments addressed Il
their understandings and co~nsciences, tina
Slave-holding is a heinous crime in tn
sight of God, and that the duty, safety an
best interests of all concerned, require it
immediate abandonment ,oithsut repatriation.
Also" this society shall aim to elevate tn
character and condition of the people c
Color, by encouraging their intellectual
moral and religious improvement, and b.
removing public prejudice that thus the
may, according to their intellectual and mo-
al worth, share an equality with the white
of civil and religious privileges" (See 2
and Sd articles of the constitution of I'll
American A. s. Society," Thus far for ii
principles of the Abolitionists. Now for ii
Colonizationists. The first two articles
their Constitution are the only ones relatin
to the object of the Society. They are
follows:
ART. /. This Society shall be called IL
American Society for colonizing the frC
people of Color of the United States.
ART. ii. The object to which its attentic
is to be exclusively directed, is to promo
and execute a plan for COlonizing with the
c%onsent) the free people of color residing
our country in Africa.
From the Constitution let lis turn to Il
organ of the Society.
