intelligence to the pirate 10 the trader in human blood
She has signifed before the world her readiness 10
afic in her own honor Oh, England! anti-Slavery,
Humanitarian, Bible-believing England look TO it, You
can lead the worlds chivalfy 10 more; your maiden
rose has faller.
,ay look to it, lest the world accuse you Of bad
faith, as well as OF bad policy. What power earth
has done so much to urge the present crisis your
own' What agency, social, literary religious, Lave
You left unemployed TO promote the hatred and repro
baton of Slavery which have grown Of late in the
NOrhern States From the needle ework Of your de-
veut women to the pen Of YOU great authors, TO the
tongues Of your eloquent Statesmen, what tool have
you neglected TO use against the hated institution !
Your sewing societies have covered the tables Of our
Anti-Slave'y bazaars-yOur travelling authors have
rarely forgotten to ampify upon this guilty sPot IN
their Of rs. Yonr ministers have sgned that
that mose Of black flesh viiated the tr ad and
wine of he communion table, and corrupted the bond
Of Christian brotherhood.
From The Bagman in the steamer, TO the Nobeman
with superciious eyebrow, the Engisbman has always
had tauni for Slavery, and the American has ha1 y
bear il. Tis was not always bospitable, nor we'll
bred your part, no. just ether seeing that You
have cause enough 10 look al home for Injustice and
crime and for institutions which perpetuate them. But
urbanity is not your t0rte-we believed you 10 be
sincere and our hearts acknowledged with shame and
sorrow the national sin which We were powerless TO
remove. Bu, now that we have gathered mp our
migh against tie extension and pcrpetaton OF that
sinnow that we are prepared 10 resist 10 10 the DEATH
but even in that resistance to be patient and !aw-abld
ing-now we look for approval 20 Engand, that act
the great example that sed tie baitle-cry, and she
has no aid or smile for us. She says: There lie a
good deal 10 be said on the side Of CAM after all-no
dlutt lie Lad pr voca,ions" She says: WIberforce
is dead, you zee and our ten-penny nails happen TO
balance on the other side"
Yes, England, Wberforce is dead, and your first
answe 10 us snt over the water dishonors the earth
that hods his bones. One word m re. Lean lesson
from this-learn that you are not greater vir
tuous than other peo le after all. Yon are not ex-
empt from the weaknesses of humanity. Gain can
temp yol and temptation can overcome you show
can deceive you; danger can disturb you Great men
could il spre, mean men can debase you. Though an
apostle in the past, you are but q trader at heart.
Leave thou that igh and mighty tone of yours, and
speak " the rect Of mankind from equal TO equals.
Lord Join has lost you the vantage ground Of the
moral initiative. Black wood will Say il IL the fret
thing be has lost you. Let some wis'r statesman
supersede and dscredit him. And let your authors
rail at us with some touch OF modosty, remembering
that they themselves were not exempt And let
Elizabeth Browning beware lest her curses, better
written and poraps better deseryed, than ber frantic
incohercnt laudaons Of the greaiest ndventurer in
Cnrsreudom-let Eer beware lest those curses accord
ing 90 tie proverb, come home TO roos,. And now,
tribune, my heart is better. have had my say.
