does not, then of what force or value is
the fact-if faet,-a as an argument
a sinst freedom. But if he does, then,
why does be not argue that child should
never be freed from his leading strings,
or Lave his nurses arms, lest trying to
o alone, be fall into the well or the fire,
or, peradvehture, break his neck.
nr t. knows, surely, that all great
revolutions in the condition Of communl> !,
lies and peoples come through suffering
aud sacrifice; that the blood Of the mar
tyrs is the seed alike Of the church, and
of the state. He knows that such a
revolution as that from slavery to freed
ON could not have been accomplished at
less cost The question is, if the re-
suit be worth the cost, the cost not only
Ct tie black, but if the white blood, by I
the spilIlng of which it has been effected.
And, we can assure him, that though
twice FIVE hundred had been buried In
single m nth, and ;hough as many more
had gone 'unhoused, united, and uncloth-
ed the boon secured would be we'll worth
the price paid.
We must wait for the agitated elements
to get settled for the colored man to
. adjust himself to his new and strange
circum> tances; for the education which
he is recerving to do its work.
Meantime we will quote to the gentle
man his own words 1 appeal to you
who know this race, VIII, know heir want
of capacity for freedom,-have they done
worse than you had every reason to ex>
pect? Nay, have theS not done better
than you could possibly have believed,
} had YOU foreseen the mode in which they
have been made free? Had we been 10
bondage as they have been, and like them,
I been liberated from our slavery, would
we the white people Of the South, with
: our superior culture, intelligence, and
3 Christianity, have conducted ourselves
better than they.
This covers the whole ground; it is am
nj len uhi1h hniIH the
whole upper structure of freedom, with
all its concomitant blessings to the black
man, For If such things be done 10 the
green tree what may we not expect lin
the dry'-especially if his good counsel be
followed, where he says--'We must aid
10 the mental aud moral improvement Of
this race. Our interest as well as our
duty to them requires that we should
help them in every laudable IF ,rt to ele-
vate themselves both morally and in
, tellectu1lly.'
We are glad that DR.. T. is ready to
render the justice to the North which we
see in the remark, There may come
some men,-to teach the colored man-
moved by the noblest impulses of the
. human heart. The spirit that moves
some TO 90 far hence to the Gentiles,
NAV lead others to the Southern land, to
each race they have en- led to believe
has been 50 lorg down-trodden and OPP
pressed. However mistaken the judg-
/ ment we cannot but honor the motive
which actuates such men,
y Yes, and though it be true, which he
says in the same eonuexion; that 'the
4 majority who come Oh this erraud will be
o moved by self interest, and will be men
and women whose culture, and social
! positi n, offer them no higher reward than
if the compensation received for teaching
r the negroes of the South : even in this
II case, as Paul r'joced lecause 'Cbris'
: vas preached tho 'gh only in pretence.
