and other slaves whose voice would be powerful
protest in favor of Abolitionsm they not de-
prive of liberty, free utterance of their thoughts,
right of associaing, self education and everythin O
that has been decreed by God for man.

II have seen Canada l am going to see Cuba
and hope to see Mexico. These three countries
are destined to form, later, part of the A.

must ere long, by the force of circumstances fal
under the sway of the encroaching Republic. Thus
