ers, the gent1ewomen Of England were
him to carve out for himself path
lifted to his powers and energies in the
life battle against slavery and caste
20 which he was pledged. And one STIR
ring thought, inseparable from the
British idea of the evangel of freedom,
must have smitten his ear from every
side:
Hereditary bondmen. know ye not
Who would be free. themselves must strike
the blow?
1.-THE result of this visit was that on
his return to the United States he es-
tablished newspaper, This proceed
ing was sorely against the wishes and
the advice of the leaders of the Amer
fcan Anti-slavery society, but our au-
thor had fully grown up to the conyic-
tion of truth which they had once pro-
mulgated, but now forgotten-to wit,
that in this own elevation, self eleva-
tion, colored men have blow to strike
'on their own hook against slavery
and caste. Differing from his Boston
friends in this matter, difident in his
own abilities, reluctant at their dis
with which he still clung to their prin-
ciples in all things else and even in
this!
1.-The arduous nature Of his labors
from the date of the establishment of
his paper may be estimated by the
fact that anti-slavery papers in the
United States, even while the organs
of and when supported by anti-slavery
parties, have. with single exception,
failed to pay expenses. Mr.. Douglass
has maintained and does maintain his
paper without the support Of any party
and even In the teeth of opposition Of
those from whom he had reason to e1-
pect counsel and encouragement.
HE has been compelled at one and
the same time and almost constantly
during the past seven years to con-
tribute matter to its columns as edi-
tor and to raise funds for its support
as lecturer. 1t is within bounds to
say that he has expended $4,000 of
his own hard earned money in pub
fishing this paper, larger sum than
has been contributed by any one In
dividual for the general advancement
Of the colored people.
There had been many other papers
published and edited by colored men.
beginning as far back as 1927, when
the Rev. Samuel E. Cornish and John
B. Russworm, a graduate of Bowdoin
college and afterward governor Of
Cape Palmas, published the Freedmen's
Journal In New York city. Probably
not less than 100 newspaper enter
prises have been started in the United
States by free colored men, born free.
and some of them Of liberal education
and fair talents for this work.
But one after another they have
fallen through, although in several In
stances anti-slavery friends contributed
to their support. 1t had almost been
given up as an impracticable thing to
maintain colored newspaper when
Mr.. Douglass with fewest early ad-
vantages Of all his competitors, essayed
and has proved the thing perfectly
practicable and. moreover. Of great
public benefit.
This paper. in addition to its power
in holding up the hands of those to
whom 1t is especially devoted. also af-
fords irrefutable evidence of the JUS
tice, safety and practIcability Of i'm
mediate emancipation. 1t further
proves the immense loss which slavery
inflicts on the land, while it dooms
such energies as his to the hereditary
degradation OF slavery"
