First sentence: THERE is only one country in the Western World where the Black and the man of color are undisputed lords; where the White is indebted for the liberty to live to the race which with us is enslaved; where neither laws, nor prejudices, nor historical memories, press cruelly on persons of African descent; where the people whom America degrades and drives from her are rulers, judges, and generals; men of extended commercial relations, authors, artists, and legislators; where the insolent question, so often asked with us, "What would become of the Negro if Slavery were abolished?" is answered by the fact of an independent Nationality of immovable stability, and a Government inspired with the spirit of progress.
