Il see that the South demands OF Massachusetts
that the noble Crafts and his equally noble com
pauion should be given up, and see that this de
mand is in derision Of the established law of ma
tions. Gentlemen, there is something on earth
greater than arbitrary or despotlc power. The
lightning has its power, and the whirlwind has its
power; but there is something aonong men more
capable OF shaking despotc power than lightning
whirWind or earthquake--that is the threatened
indignation Of the whole civilized world
Thanks to Massachusetts this indignation has
not been invoked-on the contrary, the conduct
Of Massachusetts has been such as will light up
with radiance the face OF every man in every
country who is the friend of humanity, and the
consistent lover OF impartial freedom. What
need say more than that am proud to be on
Massachusetts soil to night and will consent to
be myself banshed if | may leave this State as
the inviolable asylum of the Slave. Many rep
reservations have been made respecting the OBJ
iects Of my visit to this country. have seen
none that are correct with the exception OF those
which have been put forth by my friends IN this
city.
In England, we are in the habit of welcoming
many Of the citizens of this country TO orr shores
and it has been my good fortune TO have 1t IL my
power sometimes to entertain at my humble
board, the visitors who come among rs. | trust
that may say we are not wanting either IN lndi
vidual or national hospitality. Some OF those who
thus honor thus, come ON missions OF philanthropy
and reform. They come TO turn us from our evil
ways, and to expose in the clearer light with
which YOU are blessed, our national sins and de-
furmities They come to rebuke the spirit Of war,
they come to speak temperance, they come to
point our distressed and struggling population to
this land of promise, where no 1.-THE collector and

me to say they have not been illrecelved. AT
least ! NAV say this-that those with whom | am
identified have ever given such good men warm
welcome and their best wishes for their success.

neither ashamed nor afraid to own themselves my
friends when there was n state oil feeling tar dli-
ferent from that which now exists If have any
mission it is one OF my own desiring, Tor con-
suited only my own inclinations and objects III
coming But if there be those who will have 1t
that | come here with some special object, then
let me say that it is this il it IS anyTo tell the
citizens of these States that there are millions on
the other side of the Atlantic, who glory in the
success which has crowned the efforts OF the Peo-
pie of this country to build up this Institution, and
who look to America to send out through all lands
the gospel Of political liberty To tell them, too,
that there is one sad drawback upon their IN
fuence in Europe, and that it is Slavery. That
the enemies OF freedom point to that tact with eX-
uItation-that they desire its continuance and It's
spread-that they would be glad to see 1t reInsta-
ted in Massachusetts,, and made eternal, that they
might forever point to 1t proof OF the llcen-
tiousness of those who set up to goven themselves
and abuse their own liberty by enslaving Others
If have mission it is this and if have mes
sage, this is my massage
Citizens of America, the ark of Liberty is with
you, and the nations OF the earth are flying to IT.
You are great, glorious, andtree-but your slavery
furnishes your reputation, and fills the culver of
the enemies of freedom. Make haste then, to
purge your nation from the stain. Continue the
good work that has begun among you. Consider
no foreigner friend OF America who vindicates
your slavery consider no man your enemy, who
desires its overthrow. Peacefully but firmly pro-
claim the great truths which went forth from the
Cradle OF Liberty. Nor halt in your career OF
mercy until from the Atlantic to the Pacfc-and
from the isthmus OF Panama to the most northern
limits OF your territory, your soil should be sacred
to freedom and humanity.
