accomplishment of our national Independence

and Of this number, 100, 900, were in the South
eIn, $4,000 in the Middle, and l3,499 in the
Eastern or New England Colonies. Slavery,
be il remembered, never had legal existence in
Massachusetts, and its liberation was prohibited
by the decision of the Supreme Court, as con-
trary to justice and her declaration of right. 1t
was an exotic. AS we'll might the honey-suck-
le grow and delight in the open beach, as that
slavery could be established and flourish, amid

Numbers of the ensayed negroes in New Eng
land, were cmancipatcd and entered the CONT
mental army, and were ranked among the best
soldiers, for fidelity to their officers, and heroism
at points Of danger.
Before the commencement Of hostiIities, it
was perceived, that the numerous slaves in the
South would be source of weakness to the uni
