Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1852-03-13

IL could never have succeeded IN getting so
much of my time and ten thousand
dollars of my money. II has its phrases
for tickling the ears Of the stakeholder of the
South, aud its phrases for seducing the anti
slavery man of the North. 1t tells the slave
holder, that the removal of the free colored
people will leave him secure in the posses
sion of his slaves and it tells the aniisluvery
man, that the Colonization Society is the
agency for breaking up slavery, and for civ
ilizing aud christiauizing Africa.
Yes, my dear Sir, YOU have been de-
ceived by the folsehoods of the Col
onization Society. beg you to he de-
ceived by them no longer Ii you will look
into the Society with your own eyes, YOU
will wash your hands of it as soon MS you can,
and as clean as you can. But it is not by its
tdtsehoods only, TINT YOU have been deceived.
II is by its fdncics also. | well remember the
impressions made upon my romantic and
enthusiastic spirit by the pictures, which
Henry Clay aud others were accustomed to
draw Of the thriving towns which would, ere
long, fringe the whole coast of Africa, and
Of the quick succession of ships irom our
shores, laden with "missionarics in the cause
Of civilization, rcpublicauisrn, aud chrisIiani-
ty." For so il was, that a single voyage and
its salt water bapiisms would convert into
such glorious missionaries those, whom,
whilst in America, the COluniziiiunisis nre
wont to designate rs "black yagabonds" Hnd
black rasculs!" But
"Whcrc now are the pictures, that fancy touch'd
brighti"
Alas, they are all realized. Like Prosporo's
beautiful aud gorgeous creations, they
"Are melted into air-thin air."
During the thirty five years, since the Colo
of colored people in this land have doubled,
and far more than doubled; whilst of all,
who have been taken TO Liberin, that fright
ful graveyard, probably not three tlonsand
survive. Tint the emgranis would readily
and hnrmoniously blend with the Africans
was taken for gran'ed. But il turns out,
that they despse the Africans, as much us
they are themselves dcspiscd by us. II we
can hate the emigiunis for their color, the
emigranis can hate the Africans for their
barbarsm. Ii was, also, taken for granted.
that, very soon, our colored people would ali
be eager to 90 TO Liberia. | hear, that sew
eral of them in the City of New York are,
by some means, made willing TO go.
But, why is il necessary to remove the
blacks ?-to remove either those, who are
row free, OF those, who shall he made free ?
Ihe only truthful answer 10 this question is,
that the whites hate them, aud wish to getrid
of them. ] nm aware how common is the
answer, that the blacks cannot rise N the
presence of "lhe superior race" But, why !
can they not? 1t is only for the reason, that |
the whites will not let them. The blacks
nre willing to sit aud walk aud ride and study |
aud work and worship 10y the side of the
whites but the whites will not let them
They are willing 10 hold Office; hut the
whites will not let them. They are willing
10 get rich; but the whites will not let them
They are willing TO he found III all the
avenues to wealth aud fame but the whites
studiously close all these avenues against
them. They are willing to be buried
10y the side OF the whites; but the whites
will not let them.
Here we are then, n nation of twenty
millions of whites aud of four millions of
backs-and the former hating aud loaihlng
the later with all that intensity aud perscvcr-
nnce, indicated and measured by the deep
mud ever multiplying wrongs which are IN
iicted by the one party, and suffered by the
other. Horrible attitude this of the twenty
millions toward the four! Among all the
IIrompiings of Satan, is there any thing
more horrible? And, now, what is your
remedy for it? Ii is colonization. II is to
remove ont of the sight of the perpetrators
of the internal crimes the poor outraged,
broken-henrted, desOlaie victims of these
crimes. Wordsworth speaks of statesmen,
who, in their impaiience Of the poor,
shave a broom still ready in their hands
To rid the world Of nuisance.
Surely, Washington Hunt would not number
himself with such statesmen. Then let hin
lie careful not to adopt their remedy. How
lar does his colonization remedy differ from
thcir broom remedy? Alas, my dear Sir
Won hive mistaken both the patients aud tht
remedy 1t is we the whites, aud not they
the blacks, who need 'treuimcnt"; aud th,
only remedy for our disease is the gospc
remedy of repentance, Let the words o
Josepls breihren: awe are verify guilty con
cerning our brother in that we saw the IN
guish of his SOUL when he hesought us, ant
we would not hear"-lei these words CONT
welling up from the depths of our penliem
hearts, and you will have no further occa
sion for anxiety regarding the disposal Of Ih'
blacks.
Another purpose for which il is indispen
snble that the free colored people remain il
this county, is that they may keep up The
incessani cry in the ears of the slavehodinl
IhnfnOhs; LET my people CO. hHu slil
another purpose is that their Douglasses ont
and Wards aud their other strong and clio
quent men may continue TO urge, as lhei
complexion gives them special udyantug'
for doing, the claims Of the slave upon tn
consciences Of the whites
But il is ueedlul for the free colored pee
pie TO remain in America, most Of all Tor iii
purpose of regaiung their seli.respect an
the respect Of others. II is here, that the
are to reform themselves; and, by the inill
ence of such reformation, 10 form their enc
mics. u is here, That they must reIrac
