Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Colonizationist and Journal of Freedom, Vol. 2: May, 1833 I know that an Opinion prevails very extensively at the north, that the southern people are attached to slavery in principle - that they would not get rid ofit if they could - nay, that there is such a morbid sensibility on the subject, that they will not suffer even a calm discussion of any remedy, however feasible and peaceful. In order to remove this misapprehension, I have merely to say, that I have publicly discussed this subject every where in the Southern States, from the Eastern shore of Maryland to the Gulf of Mexico, in the presence of hundreds of slaves at a time, and with the general approbation of the audience to which my addresses were delivered - and have uniformly represented it as affording the best and only safe means of gradually and entirely abolishing slavery. In deed, so well is the moral influence ofthe operations ofthis Society understood in the extreme south, that all the advocates of perpetual slavery are bitterly opposed to it; and none in that region are its advocates, but the friends of gradual, peaceful, and ultimate entire emancipation. In fine, this Society is drawing the line in a distinct manner, be tween these two classes of people at the south. The friends of human liberty are enlist ing under the banner of colonization, and the advocates of perpetual despotism are ar ranging themselves under the banner ofits adversaries, and it requires not the spirit of prophecy to foretel whose principles, in this age of reason and religion, and in this coun try of universal intelligence, will become universally popular.
