LETTER ERoM LAKE COUNTY, OHIO.

MADISON, April I'd, 1854.
FRIEND ROBINSON; Having had some experience
lately touching upon the Anti-Slavcry Reform in
its bearings on the American Colonization effort
and being strongly urged by friends to send a
brief report Of their experience to you for publca
tion, have concluded to yield to the request hop
irg that it may yield some good in furthering the
great ends Of the anti-slavery movement.
There are many who feel antipathy against our
anti-slavery men because they as n body op.
pose the colonization movement My experience
was with one Of the other class, who was a public
advocate Of the colonization scheme His whole
effort in the three lectures i heard him deliver,
was mainly directed against the advocates of free
dom to the slave. lie appealed very successfully
to the popular prejudces of the formal church, by
endeavoring to portray tho anti-slavcry movement
as purely athestical and anti-christian The lee.
lures were applauded very highly by the advocates
Of orthodoxy as unanswerablc.
Seeing the unqualified appreciation bestowed on
the man for his course of procedure, in exposing
the anti-savery movement to ridicule, endeavoring
to show the totally ineffective means which had
been adopted, the total failure to thus better the
condition of the slave presenting his only rescue
from oppression, his transportation to Africa. I
was provoked to meet him in discussion because
1t presented an excellent opportunity to expose the
popular religion of the age as purely ateistical-
brief report of this discussion is what wish to
present for publication.
The fundamental argument or apology for the
American colonization society, was founded on
natural prejudice existing among the whites
against the blacks. In accommodation to this
prejudice our government was established. The
best government for the whites, but the blacks
were not included as partakers of its benefits or
sharers of its defence. In correspondence with
this fact the constitution of our government was
formed One whole lecture was delivered proving
its pro-slavery nature, and all those who would
have detested such an effort by Mr.. and Mrs. Fos-
ter, pronounced the arguments for this end per
fectly unanswerable. They all consented to the
position as proved that the constitution was pro-
slavery document, in no way designed for the pro-
lection Of the interests Of the colored man. but on
the cantrary pointing to him as a slave. Conse-
quenty there was no hope of freedom 10 the slave.
