Icdtton to the masters, not for emancipation, but for
the dmeiiordtioh Of the condition OF certain indi-
viduals Of their race:
MOsT SOVEREIGN MAsrERs-We are the English
Ldhyuuge-yOur lawful and perpetual bond-sery-
ants, whose names and origin. characters and du-
ties, are 50 faithfully exihited in Noah Webster's
great dictionary. BY tar ths largest part Of us
have received nothing but the kindest usage from
our owners, from time immcmurial. Some thou
sands Ut us, indeed, were 1t possible, might die of
having nutting to do but sleep, shut up IN the dor.
mitory Of the dictionary, or in the composition Of
some most learned or most silly bnuk, which tie
mass OF the people never open. But of this we do
not complain.
Nur do we account it much Of an evil, that Ger
tain Yankees make US weary, with the monstruusll
long drawl with which they articulatc us int" use
Nor do we cry out against the painful clipping,
cutting up, and shatlering-to-pieccs given us by
the African race for we serve them rs faithfully
us we do their white fellow-InOrtals--hUlding that,
ns it regards all the relations Of human beings to
us, all men ARE born free and equal"
But now we %humbly pray that you will hear
what we do complain of. We complain that GER
tain of our brethren are exceedil. ely abused, and
nude wrctched by some thousands, and perhaps
millions Of our owners. Their piteous groans have
shocked our ears-their unretricvcd suifcrings have
panied our sympatiiziug hearts for many years.
We can endure it no longer; we must speak.
Your ancient servants come, then, duplicating YOU
to take measures t r the relief Of the sufferings OF
the individuals vi our number, whose names and
particular subjects Of complaint shall now be
enumerated proceeding in alphabetical oder.
