"PREJUDICE AGAINST COLOR."
Prejudice ajjainst color ! Pray tell us wAai color'? Blacks ).rown'? copper
color 1 yellow ¦? tawny % or olive 1 Native Americans of all these colors
everywhere experience hourly indignities at the hands of persons claiming to
be white. Now, is all this for color's sakel If so, which of these colors ex
cites such commotion in those sallow-skinned Americans who call themselves
white 1 Is it black t. When did thej ¦ jin to be so horrified at black 1 VV as
it befoie black stocks came into feshion? black coats'? black vests'? black
hats? hi -xck walking canes ? black reticules 1 black umbrellas ? black-wal.iut
tables ¦? b ick ebony picture frames and sculptural decorations ¦? black eyes,
hair and » "liskers ? bright black shoes, and glossy black horses 1 How this
A tnerican cclor-phobia would have lashed itself into a foam at the sight of the
celebrated black goddess Diana, of Ephesus ! how it would have gnaslied upon
the old statue, and hacked away at it out of sheer spile at its color! What
exemplary havoc it would have made of the most celebrated statues of anti-
qiity. Forsooth they were black! their color would have been their doom.
These half-white Americans owe the genius of sculpture a great grudge. She
has so often crossed their path in the hated color, it would fare hard with her
if she were to fall into their clutches. By the way, it would be well for
Chantry and other European sculptors to keep a keen look-out upon all Amer
icans visitina their collections. American color-phobia would be untrue to
itself if it did not pitch battle with every black statue and bust that came in
its way in going the rounds. A black Apollo, whatever the symmetry of his
proportions, the majesty of his attitude, or the divinity of his air, would meet
with great good fortune if it escaped mutilation at its hands, or at least defile
ment fro-TQ its spittle. If all foreign artists, whose collections are visited by
Americans, would fence off a corner of their galleries for a " negro pew," and
straightway colonize in thither every specimen of ancient and modern art
that is chisselled or cast in black, it would be a wise precaution. The only
tolerable substitute for such colonization would be plenty of whitewash, which
would avail little as a peace-offering to brother Jonathan, unless freshly put
on : in that case a thick coat of it might sufiiciently placate his outraged sense
of propriety to rescue the finest models of art from American Lynch-law;
but it would not be best to presume too far, for color-phobia has no lucid inter
vals, the Jit is on all the time. The anti-black feeling, being " a law of na
ture," must have vent ; sind unless it be provided, wherever it goes, with a
sort of portable Liberia to scrape the offensive color into, it twitches and jerks
^ti convulsions directly. But stop — this anfi-hlack passion is, we are told, "a
law of nature," and not to be trifled with ! " Prejudice against color" " a law
of nature !" Forsooth ! VVhat a sinner against nature old Homer was I He
goes off in ecstacies in his descriptions of the black Ethiopians, praises their
beauty, calls them the favorites of the gods, and represents all the ancient
divinities as ssleetin:; them from all the nations of the world as their intimate
companions, the objects of their peculiar complacency. If Homer had only
been indoctrinated into this "law of nature," he would never have insulted
his deities by representing them as making negroes their chosen associates.
What impious trifling with thi^ sacred " lav/' was perpetrated by the old
Greeks, who represented Minerva, their favorite goddess of Wisdom, as an
African princess Herodotus pronounces the Ethiopians the most majestic
and beautiful of men. The great father of history was fated to live and die
in the dark, as to this great " law of nature!" Why do so many Greek and
Latin authors adorn with eulogy the beauty and graces of the black Mcm-
non who served at the siege of Troy, styling him, in their eulogiums, the son
of Aurora's Ignoramuses! Theyinew nothing of this great " law of na
ture" How lUtle reverence for this sublime " law" had Solon, Pythagoras,

10 ANTI -SLAVERY ALMANAC. [1841.
Plato, and those other master spirits of ancient Greece, who, in their pil
grimage after knowledge, went to Ethiopia and Egypt, and sat at the fict of
black philosophers to drink in wisdom. Alas for the multitudes who flocked
from all parts of the world to the instructions of that negro, Euclid, who,
three hundred years before Christ, was at the head of the most celebrated
mathematical school in the world. However learned in the mathematics,
they were plainly numsculls in the " law of nature !"
How little had Anfi,ichus the Great the fear of this " law of nature" before
his eyes, when he welcomed to his couit, with the most signal honors, the
black A frican Hannibal ; and what an impious perverter of this hame law
was the great conqueror of Hannibal, since he made the black pof i Terence
one of his most intimate associates and confidants. What heath enish dark
ness brooded over the early ages of Christianity respecting this divine "law
of nature," when Philip went up into the chariot of the Ethiopian eunuch
and sat loith him, and when the Spirit of God said to him, "Go near and
join thyself to this chariot." Both grossly outraged this " law of nature."
What a sin of ignorance! The most celebrated fathers of the church, Ori-
gen, Cyprian, Tertullian, Augustine, Clemens Alexandrinus, and Cyril —
why were not these black African bishops colonized into a " negro pew,"
when attending the ecclesiastical councils of their day. Alas, though the
sun of righteousness had risen on primitive Christians, this great " law of na
ture" had not! This leads us reverently to ask the age of this law. A law
of nature, being a part of nature, must be as old as nature : but perhaps hu
man nature was created by piecemeal, and this part was overlooked in the
early editions, but supplied in a later revisal. 'Well, what is the date of the
revised edition T We will save our readers the trouble of fumbling for it, by just
saying, that this " law of nature" was never heard of till long after the com
mencement of the African slave trade ; and that the feeling called " prejudice
against color," has never existed in Great Britain, France, Spain, Portugal,
the Italian States, Prussia, Austria, Russia, or in any part of the world where
colored persons have not been held as slaves. Indeed, in many countries,
where multitudes of Africans and their descendants have been long held
slaves, no prejudice against color has ever existed. This is the case in Tur
key, Brazil, and Persia. In Brazil there are more than two millions of slaves.
Yet some of the highest offices of state are filled by black men . Some of the
most distinguished officers in the Brazilian army are blacks and mulattoes.
Colored lawyers and physicians are found in all parts of the country. Be
sides this, hundreds of the Roman Catholic clergy are black and colored
men ; these minister to congregations mEide up indiscriminately of blacks and
whites. The same remark may be made of all the South American states
and Mexico. General Guerrero, late president of Mexico, was a colored
man, so is General Alvarez, one of the most distinguished of the Mexican
generals, and some of the most prominent men of the Mexican congress are
mulattoes. General Paez, the distinguished president of Venezuela, is also
a colored man. General Piar, who bore a conspicuous part in the com
mencement of the Columbian revolution, was a mulatto. General Sucre,
the commander-in-chief at the battle of Ayacucho, in 1824, the most remark
able ever fought in South America, was a black man with woohy hair. In
1826 he was elected president of Bolivia.
As we find ourselves crowded for space, a variety of facts, illustrating the
entire absence of " prejudice against color" in European countries, must be
omitted. We can finij room for only those that follow: — Anthony WilliaM
Amo, a full blooded negro, a native of Guinea, was, in 1774, appointed Pro
fessor of Philosophy in the University of Wirtcmberg, in Germany. He
was afterwards removed to Berlin and made a counsellor of state to his Prus
sian majesty. An Afiican negro named Annibal wae a general and direc-

tor of artillery in the army of Peter the Great, who conferred upon him, as a
mark of honor, the order of Saint Alexander Nenski. His son, a mulatto,
was, in 1784, a lieutenant-general of artillery in the Russian service. Geof
frey L' Islet, a mulatto, originally an officer of .irtillery in the French army,
was elected a corresponding member of the Academy of Sciences at Paris,
and was living a few years since. Pellet, a highly respected and popular
officer in the National Goaids of France, is a dark mulatto. Capitein, who
graduated with great applause at the University of Leyden in Holland, and
afterwards became a clergyman, and pubHshciI a volume of sermons in the
Dutch language, was a negro, a native of Guinea. Ignatius Sancho, the
associate of Garrick, and the friend and correspondent of the celebrated
Sterne, was a negro. Louis Phillipe, the present king of the French, had,
in his boyhood, as one of his playmates, Scipio Africanus, a young negro,
who was one of the family of the Duke of Orleans, (Egalite.) Scipio after
wards became an officer in the French army under Joubert, and was killed
with that officer at the battle of Novi, in 1199. A brave Brazilian negro,
named Henry Diaz, who was colonel of a regiment of blacks, and had done
the state important service in the Dutch war, was invited to Portugal by
King John IV., who received him at his court with distinguished honor, con
ferred upon him knighthood, and caused a medal to be struck in commemora
tion of his services. Benoit, a negro of Palermo, called by historians the
" Holy Black," was among the most eulogized and honored saints in the
Roman Catholic Church of the age in which he lived. One of the members
of the French national assembly, between forty and fifty years since, was
Mentor, a negro, a native of Martinique. A mulatto, named St. George,
who served in the French army after the revolution, was, as the Abbe Gre-
goire informs us, the " idol of fashionable society" in the French capital.
General Dumas, who for a long time commanded a legion in the French
army, and was one of Bonaparte's favorite generals of division, and named
by him the " Horatius Codes of the Tyrols," was a mulatto. Kina, a favor
ite officer in the British army, and who, on a visit to London, received the
most flattering attentions in honor of his services in the West Indies, was a
negro. Correa de Serra, the secretary of the Portuguese academy, asserts
that in Lisbon and other parts of Portugal there are distinguished lawyers
and professors who are negroes. A public teacher of Latin at Seville, in
Spain, during the last century, was a negro named Don Juan Latino. It is
a fact well known, that some of the highest offices in the Turkish and Per
sian empires have been filled by negroes. Job Ben Solomon, a negro born
on the Gambia, was treated with marked attention in the polite and literary
circles of En^and, and received at the court of St. James with high distinc
tion. Jules Raymond, author of various works in French, and a member
of the National Institute of France, was a mulatto. Gustavus Vasa, a negro
born at Benin, resided niany years in London, where he mingled with refined
society and was highly respected. His son, Sancho, was assistant librarian
to Sir Joseph Banks, and secretary to the Vaccine Institution. One of the
most popular lawyers at the royal court of Martinique is M. Papy, a mulatto.
A. De Castro, aid-de-camp to the governor general of the Danish West In
dies, is a mulatto : his son is aid-de-camp to the governor of St. Thomas.
George Washington Jefferson, a mulatto from St. Domingo, who resides
near Brighton, England, associates with the most respectable society, and is
a director in a bank there.' Prince Sanders was a dark mulatto, a native of
Boston, but resided many years in London, where he was a great favorite in
fashionable circles, was invited to breakfast with the Prince Regent, and re
ceived fiatterihg attentions from distinguished literary characters. For a
ccnturV past a considerable proportion of the Roman Catholic clergy in the
Cape de Verd islands have been negroes. Thomas Jenkyns, a negro, na-

five of Guinea, was, for a number of years, a teacher of a parish school near
Edinburgh, in Scotland; he afterwards entered the university, where he dis
tinguished himself for scholarship : he was so grestt a favorite with the faculty
that the professors generally relinquished their fees to assist him in his edu
cation. He eventually became a preacher, and was deputed by the British
Society for promoling Christian knowledge as a missionary to Mauritius,
where he still lesides. The secretary of the governor of Antigua, in 1837,
was a mulatto : so is a Mr. Athill, who was at the same time postmaster-
general of Antigua, and a member of assembly. Edward Jordan, who has
been for many years editor of the ablest and most influential paper published
in the island of Jamaica, is a mulatto. Mr. J. has also been for some years
a leading member of the Jamaica assembly, and alderman of the city of
Kingston. Richard Hill, who has been for a number of years at the head of
the special magistracy in Jamaica, (a body of about sixty magistrates,) and their
official organ of communication with the government, is a dark mulatto.
When Lord Sligo was governor of Jamaica Mr. Hill was his official secre
tary, and an inmate of his family: — his.lordship, when in New-^ ork in the
summer of '39, on his return to England, speaking of Mr. Hill, said, " With
no gentleman in the West Indies was I, in social life, on terms of more inti
mate friendship." Price Watkis, recently deceased, who for the last ten
years of his life was at the head of the Jamaica bar, and for a long time a
distinguished member of the assembly, was the son of a negress. Mr. Os-
born, another member of the same body, and also the son of a negress, was
elected to the assembly by the parish of St. A ndrews, in which he was born
a slave 1 Mr. Osborn was, a few years since, appointed by the governor a
magistrate of the parish in which he resided, and a judge of the court of com
mon pleas.
In concluding these miscellaneous illustrations we present two facts, ex
hibiting the total absence of the "law of nature" in the two great centres of
the world's intellect, taste, refinement, literature and science, London and
Paris. The first is an extract from the London Morning Herald of August
2, 1834:— ABOLITION OF NEGRO SLAVERY.
A public dinner was given yesterday at the Freemasons' Tavern, Great
Q.ucen street, to celebrate the termination of slavery throughout the British
colonial possessions.
The Right Hon. the Earl of Mulgrave in the chair, one hundred and
thirty noblemen and gentlemen were present; among whom we noticed the
Right Hon. Spring Rice, Viscount Morpeth, M. P., Dr. Lushington, M. P.,
 Petre, Esq., M. P., Sir H. Verney, Bart., M. P., W. Wetmore, Esq ,
M. P., Mr. Monison, M. P., Z. Macaulay, Esq., Mr Stanhope, M. P.,
Mr. O'Connell, M. P., Hon. G. J. Vernon, M. P., Mr. E. Baines, M. P.,
Mr. John Wilks, M. P., Hon. Sir George Grey, Bart., M. P., H. G. Ward,
Esq., M. P., besides several gentlemen of color, natives of Jamaica, St. Kitts,
and other "West Indian colonies.
The London correspondent of the New-York Journal of Commerce gives
the following additional particulars : —
" The first of August has been held as quite a fete day, both in the metro
polis and the courftry. Several noblemen and gentlemen dined togetlier, and
Lord Mulgrave, the late governor of Jamaica, presided. Several riegroes
were present at the dinner, and were mingled with the dlstiv guished coTti-
pany in the most pei feet fellowship. One of them addressed the meeting in
a strain of the most powerful eloquence, and received the marked compliments
of the noble chairman "
The following is an extract of a letter from a French correspondent of the
Einnncipator dated " Havre, France, Dec. 24, 1839."

1841.] ANTI-SLAVERY ALMANAC. 13
" At the distribution of prizes at the Sorbonne in August last, to the stu
dents of the eight Colleges of Paris and Versailles, the royal family and all
the ministers of state attended. Each coUeg^e sent a certain nuaiber of its most
distinguished scholars, but amongst so many young men from these cele
brated institutions, it was Girard, a young man of color from Gaudaloupe,
who received, amongst other prizes, the prize of honor. Villemain, the minis
ter of public instruction, placed the crown or wreath upon Girard' s head, em
braced him, and delivered to him his prizes amidst the unanimous applauses
of the collegians and spectators Girard was then invited to dine with the
king, and he spent three days with the royal family at St Cloud."
We vrill close this article by presenting the toWovimz testimonies to the
absence of what is called " prejudice against color" in England, and in all
parts of the civilized world where the people have not been accustomed to as
sociate the negro color and features vrith slavery.
Ho.v. Peter A. Jay, in his speech in the convention that formed the
constitution of the state of New- York in 18'21, said, " Why dq we feel reluc
tant to associate with a black man "! There is no such reluctance in Europe,
nor in any country where slavery is unknown.''
Chancellor Kevt, in a speech in the same convention said, " In Europe
the distinction of color is unknown." — (Debates N. Y. Conv., pp. 201, 377 )
WiLr.iAM GooDELi., the well known editor of the " Friend of Man," at
Utica, N. Y., says, " I have myself travelled in Holland for several days in
succession, on board stages and canal boats, in company with a colored
family from Surinam, and at all the hotels, at Sands, at Alkmaer, the Holder,
at Sardam and at Amsterdam, as well as in the public conveyances, they were
treated with as much attention and politeness as any other ladies and gentle
men. The finger of scorn would have been pointed at any American, as to
an unmannerly brute, who should have been guilty of any incivility to
wards them. A few days afterwards, being invited to dine with one of the
first merchants of Amsterdam, (and I may say of Europe,) the gentleman to
whom our ship and cargo were consigned — whom should I meet, with his
wife and daughters, in his drawing room and at his table, but some of these
same colored gentlemen and lathes from Surinam! I afterwards recognised
them at church and on the public promenades, in company with the very elite
of that splendid city. Yet the Hollanders are somewhat whiter than the
Americans ! What I saw among them may be seen every day in all parts of
Europe^at London, at Edinburgh, at Vienna, at St. Petersburg, at Paris.
Americans who have visited Lafayette, at Lagrange, relate just such inci
dents as have now been described. '
David L. Child, Esq., of Maissachusetts, late secretary of the U. S.
minister at the court of Lisbon, says, " In Spain, Portugal, and Brazil, it
(prejudice against color) does not exist at all. In England all tlistinction is
quite done away. I have seen colored men at the chess boards, at the card
tables, at feasts, at churches, at hotels, and arm in arm in the streets with
white men of the first eminence for rank, talent, and station."
An.'iOLD Bdffdm, a well known member of the society of Friends, savs,
" Some of the finest men I met with, during a residence of three years in
London and Paris, were the oflTspring of African mothers. There no dis
tinction is made in any grade of society cm account of .color. I have re
peatedly seen black gentlemen sitting on the sofas, conversing with the ladies,
at the hospitable mansion of that universal philanthropist, Lafayette; and^
there were no persons present who appeared more respectable, or who were
more respected."
Hon. Alexander H. Everett, ofMassachusetts, in a speech before the
Mass. Col. Sor.iety, said, " And it is worth while, Mr. President, to remark,
that the prejudice which is commonly entertained ia this country, but which

14 ANTI-SLAVERY ALMANAC. [1841.
does not exist to any tiling like the same extent in Europe, against the color
of the blacks, seems to have grown out of the unnatural position which they
occupy among us. When the blacks took precedence of the whites in
civihzation, science, and political power, no such prejudice appears to have
existed." Ret. Dn. Stowe, professor in the Lane Theological Seminary at Cincin
nati, Ohio, says, " History gives full testimony that this prejudice against the
negro color and features has no foundation in nature. There is nothing in
the physical or intellectual nature of the negro, that can be offensive to the
man unperverted by early and wicked associations."
The late Joseph Horace Kimball, editor of the Herald of Freedom, wri
ting from the island of St. Thomas in 1837, says, " The prejudices which are
so rampant against color in the United States, are hardly known here. The
only expression of them which I have yet seen, is among Americans.
People here, through all the grades of color, sit promiscuously together at
church, unite in social visits and public balls, and stand side by side at the
counting-house desk. . Colored men are also members, with whites, of
military corps." •
Our limits forbid further extracts. The reader has noticed, in the preced
ing facts and testimonies, a few from the West India islands. These have
been given, not because there is no "prejudice against color" there, for there
is, but to show that even there, though slavery has existed for more than
two centuries, and though the proportion of slaves to whites has always been
more than ten to one, it has vastly less strength than in the United States.
A word, in conclusion, to Abolitionists. Whatever you do, or neglect to
do, in the anti-slavery cause, live down that libel upon nature, and blas
phemy of nature's author, which pronounces the unutterably mean, despicable,
cruel, and accursed feeling called "prejudice against color," a law of nature.
WAS GOD THE FOUNDER OF THE "NEGRO SEAT r'
Was God the founder of the "negro seaf?" Are those elders, deacons,
vestrymen, stewards and church-sextons, who compel colored persons to sit
in the negro seat, and if they take any other seat turn them out — are such
men " God's ministers attending continually upon this very thing ¦?" AVould
He who tasted death for every man refuse to sit with those f6r whom he died?
Does he who saith, " to the poor the gospel is preached," forbid them to enter
his temples unless they will consent to be set apart like loi^thsome lepers, thus
co-operating in their own degradation^ Does He who made the ears of an
cient pride to tingle with his indignant charge, " Ye have despised the poor,"
does He minister to the same feeling against which he thundered his curse t
Does he set up, as a mark for hisses and scornful pointings, those bodily pe
culiarities which are his own handy-work"? Has He who said, " If ye have
respect of persons ye commit sin," becomfe the great patron of that sin, and
made his own house its habitation and asylum 1 Who dare uplift his brow
against his maker with such a charge ,as this"? Yet who does not know that
thousands in these " Free States," who claim to be God's ministers, his repre
sentatives, his commissioned ambassadors, the teachers of his principles, the
enforcers of his claims, the illustrators of his equal and impartial love toward
all his creatures, so far from casting out with horror such heathenism from
Christian temples, smile upon it, provide accommodations for it, and sanctify
it by declaring in their practice, that it is in harmony with the law of love,
and is well pleasing to Him who is " no respecter of persons." Such minis
ters prostitute their office, libel their maker, and tread into the dust their equal
brethren and sisters. That state of heart, in professedly Christian churches,
which originated and perpetuates the " negro seat," makes Christ the minis
ter of sin, and practically abjures him, by perverting his truth, repudiating

1841.] ANTI-SLAVEKY ALMANAC. 15
his spirit, and deriding those unspeakably tender sympathies of his holy na
ture, by which he draws to his heart, and indissolubly links and identifies
with himself the most despised of his little ones — sympathies out-poured as
an ocean-tide in those words of immortal pathos, sublimity and terror, " Inas
much as ye did it unto one of the least of these, ye did it unto me." O be
sotted and impious men ! The Judge of quick and dead arraigns and con
demns you; hear your accusation and sentence from the lips of the Son of
God, " Inasmuch as ye have scorned to sit with the least of these, ye have
scorned to sit with me. Inasmuch as ye have spurned from your company,
and thrust into corners, the most despised of my poor, ye have spurned and '
thrust aside MU. For me you have set apart your ' negro pew' — me you have
thrust into it as an unclean thing — me yon have compelled to sit in that ab
horred se.it, or be driven from my own sanctuary ; for ' inasmuch as ye have
done it unto one of the least of these, ye have don^it unto me.' Behold, ye
despisers, and wonder and perish."
Finally, to every professed minister of Christ, who has thus far counte
nanced the impiety of the " negro seat," wo say, repent of your sin, confess
and forsake it ; then preach, pray, testily, cry aloud against that worse than
heathen abomination — give place to it by subjection! no, not for an hour. In
the name of God, smite down the crested blasphemy and cast it headlong.
If your hearers, like those who were cut to the heart by the truth of old, contra
dict and blaspheme, and driveyou from them,countit all joyjyou have honored
God, been a witness to his truth and delivered your own soul — shake off th^^
dust of your feet as a testimony against them, and go on your way, rejoicing
that you are counted worthy to suffer shame for his name.
ABOLITIONISM.
Abolitionism is — anti-slavery principles acted out. The only true pro
fession of a creed is, the practice of it. Abolitionists, wherever you are,
whatever you do, show that your aboUtionism is not mere theory ; but that
it grasps your heart — not mere sentimentalism that goes off in rhapsodies,
nor a mere impulse — gushing out when your sympathies are moved by a tale
of ciuelty, but that you have an abiding, intense abhorrence of slavery, — the
thing itself — an abhorrence inwrought with your nature, and rooted in its
foundations; a pr^ncipie dwelling out from your very life-spring, tide upon
tide, without end and without ebb, quickeningTiy its warm overflow every ele
ment of your being. Let all take knowledge of you that you are free, and
true to freedom ; that her cause is yours, her honor yours, her indignities
yours, her struggles, her perils, and her triumphs yours ; that you are her
sleepless sentinel, always under arms, pacing her rounds, and keeping up her
watch-fires. Those are the greatest foes to human rights who concede that
our doctrines arc true, yet refuse to live them. out. To admit the truth of an
obnoxious principle demands no sacrifice, but to act it out — there's the rub.
Not to act out your anti-slavery principles, is not only to disown them but to
kill them. It is with moral principles as with the blood, you can't keep life
in them if you dont keep up their circulation. If you would have them fiill
of vigor, you must keep them in brisk motion. Give them vent, scope, range,
a field to course over and weights to carry. Keep them pent up and they
will rot within you. If you would do the cause of human rights real service
by your principles any where, you must carry them every where. If you quit
them in a storm, they'll quit you in a calm. Do you ask how you shall live
but your anti-slavery principles 1 I answer, if they are really in you, you
can't help living them out, all the time, everywhere, and in everything. As
to the haw, the principles themselves, if you have really got them, will take
care of that. Rely upon it, they will find vent ; you nced'nt cut a passage
for thmo,' they'll force one ; nor hang a door, nor Bend in a deputation to es-

16 ANTI-SLAVERY ALMANAC. [1841-
cort them out, and get them under headway. They'll generate their own
steam, if you dont put out the fires. You might as well ask how powder
shall explode when fire touches it, as how abolition principles shall be acted
out in such a pro-slavery atmosphere as fills this country. Ihe genuine
article may always be known by its instant combustion the moment a spark
of slavery lights upon it. Try yours, and if they dont go off instanter, throw
them away and get better ones.
COMPENSATION.
Slaveholders insist upon compensation if they emancipate their slaves.
Compensation ! for what 1 for averting the wrath of God 1 for escaping the
plagues of Egypt, and the' fate of Pharaoh "? For exchanging two and a half
millions ofenemies for as many grateful friends 1 For transforming two and
a half millions of stupid, indolent drudges, whose dull tread stamps barrenness
upon fertility, into efficient laborers under whose vigorous arms sterility itself
would teem with harvests 1 Compensation for enhanced value of soil, in
creased crops and cheaper labor 1 Compensation for the influx of hardy emi
grants, now barred by slavery from the southern states 1 For the upspringing
of universal enterprise, of the mechanic arts, of internal improvements, and
of schools as the drops of the morning'! For the effectual protection of pro
perty and person against Lynch-law % Compensation ! and for what ¦? For
exchanging want for plenty, terror for security, weakness and exposure
for strength and bulwarks of defence, disgrace for honor, and abhorrence and
curses for the shout of millions rising up and calhng them blessed 7 Emanci
pation — simple justice (and less than that) to the oppressed — would not only
be peace, safety, prosperity, power and renown to the oppressor, but eventually
money in his pocket, yet he cries out for pay ! A rescue from weakness, ste
rility, corruption of morals, bankruptcy, disunion, -Lynch-law, servile wars,
and universal execration, is not enough — the slaveholder must have a money
compensation besides ! If yoa save him from ruin, you must pay a round
sum for the privilege !
A man rushes to the brink of a precipice — " Stop," screams his friend. —
" StopT' cries the madman, "not I, unless you'll pay me for it." Another
tics a millstone round his neck, and is just leaping into the sea. " Cut loose,"
a hundred voices shriek. " Cut loose ¦?— never ! ' says the suicide, without
compensation, " ITS MY property !" He was a mean wretch truly, who, when
he had hung himself accidentally, while swinging on his bridle, and was cut
down by a passer just at the last gasp, bawled after his deliverer, " Pay me
for cutting my bridle ! Pay me for cutting my bridle !"
HINTS TO ANTI-SLAVERY DEBATERS.
1. Keep your temper. 2. Stick to the point, and keep your opponent to it.
3. Dont ridicule his arguments, but show that they ridicule themselves.
4. Make no random statements, prove all things. 5. Have your proofs
ready, so that you can turn to them at once. Nothing tires and provokes an
audience like fumbling and fumbling for what you should have at your
fingers' ends. 6. Never present an argument which you are not sure is
sound. 7. Never degrade yourself and your subject by stooping to bandy words
with your opponent, nor by pl.iying off witticisms and smart speeches to set
the audience a giggling. 8. Dont dec/aim but argue. 9. Dont be abstruse,
far-fetched, and wire-drawn, but plain aijd simple, so that every body can
understand exactly what you mean. 10. Dont try to set off yourself, but
your subject. 11. Dont leave a point till you h&\e settled it. One point
settled is better than a thousand made plausible. 12 Dont waste your time
on little things, but, at the outset, seize some great point, and push it; pow
der spent on small game is thrown away.

BETTER OFF.
Every body has read that senseless falsehood, " The slaves are better off
than though they were free," and that they are better off than the poor Eng
lish peasantry. The following beautiful and indignant outburst, repelling
that vile and slanderous falsehood, is firom the pen of the English Cluaker
poet, William Howitt : — THE ENGLISH PEASANT.
" The condition of the West India slave is better and happier than that of
the English .peasantry." — Common Assertion.
The land for me, the land for me,
Where every living soul is free 1
Where winter may come, where storms may rave,
But the tyrant dare not bring his slave !
I should hate to dwell in a summer land.
Where flowers spring up on every hand;
Where the breeze is glad, and the heavens are fair.
But the taint of blooo is every where !
I saw a peasant sit at his door.
When his weekly toil in the field was o'er;
He sat on the bench his grandsire made —
He sat in his father's walnut shade.
'Twas the golden hour of an April morn;
Lightly the lark sprung from the corn ;
Tne blossoming trees shone purely white,
And the young leaves quivered in the light. |
The Sabbath bells, with a holy glee,
Were ringing o'er woodland heath and lea,
'Twas a season whose living influence ran
Through air, through earth and the heart of man.
No feeble joy was that peasant's lot,
As his children gambolled before his cot,
And archly mimicked the toils and cares
That coming life shall make truly theirs.
But their mother, with breakfast call, anon
Came forth, and their merry masque was gone; —
'Twas a beautiful sight, as, meekly still,
They sat, in their joy, on the cottage sill.
The sire looked on them ; he looked to the skies ;
I read his heart's language in his eyes ;
Lightly he rose, and lightly he trod.
To pour out his soul in the bouse of God.
And is THIS the man, — thou vaunting knave ! —
Thou hast dared to compare with the weeping slave I *
Away ! find one slave in the world to cope
With him, in his heart, his home, his hope !
He is not on thy lands of sin and pain, —
Seared— scarred with the lash — cramped with pain;
In thy burning clime where the heart is cold,
And man, like the beast, is bought and sold !
He is not in the East, in his gorgeous halls,
Where the servile crowd before aim falls,
' g; -

18 ANTI-SLAVERY ALMANAC. [1841.
Till the how-string comes, in an hour of wrath,
And he vanishes from the tyrant's path.
But O, — thou slanderer, false and vile ! —
Dare but to harm that garden-stile ;
Dare hut to outrage that lowly thatch;
Dare but to force that peasant's latch ;
And thy craven soul shall wildly quake
At the thunder peal the dead shall wake ;
For a myriad tongues of fire shall sound,
As if every stone cried from the ground.
The indignant thrill, like flame, shall spread.
Till the isle itself rock beneath thy tread ;
And a voice from people, from peer, and throne.
Shall ring in thy ears — ' Atone ! Atone 1'
For Freedom here is an equal guest.
In princely hall, and in peasant's nest ; .
The palace is filled with her living light.
And she watches the hamlet day and night.
Then the land for me, the land for me.
Where every living soul is free 1
Where winter may come, — where storms may rare —
But the tyrant dare not bring his slave I

"PREJUDICE AGAINST COLOR"— A PRO-SLAVERY FALSEHOOD.
Gi'ving things wrong names is the commonest lie in the world ; and has
done more hurt than all other lies put together. If sin is to be measured by
the mischief it does, then he who gives bad things good names, or good things
bad names, is the chief of sinners. " Thou hast a devil," said the Jews, to
him who was purity and love. " He casteth out devils by Beelzebub," cried
the Pharisees, though they heard from his own lips that he did it " by the
finger of God." With what a consuming glance did the Son of God con
front those blasphemers while he uttered their doom ! " He that shall blas
pheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness." Well did the in
dignant prophet give vent to his holy burnings in a " woe unto him that
calleth evil good and good evil, that putteth darkness for light and fight for
darkness." So long as a man who cherishes base feelings seeks to get
credit for being belter than he is, he will try to hide his wickedness under a
good name; and if he can contrive to give it such a name as will put every
body upon the wrong track, by turning attention from the vile thing itself to
something quite harmless, the -cheat is perfect, he may wear the mask with
out fear of detection palm himself off for a saint, and be canonized when
he dies. Many a devil has thus passed for an angel by stealing his
robe. Illustrations of this swarm every where. The words quoted at the
head of this article furnish one of them. Those who indulge the feeling
called "prejudice against color," have given it that name, not to describe
what it is, but to justify it, by representing it to be a spontaneous and irre
pressible feeling, resulting from the constitution of the mind, and excited by
contrariety of color. It is, forsooth, " prejudice against COLOR," a deep aver
sion to a certain tinge of the skin, which, originating in " nature," and being
an ordination of Providence, is to be reverenced and cherished ! Thus a
most unchristian, virulent and ferocious scorn of acertain class of persons, is
not only accounted for, but justified and made sacred by the very name given
to it— yea more, by referring the feeling to mere difference of color, and basing

1841.] ANTI-SLAVERY ALMANAC. 19
it upon the immutable laws of mind, God is made its author, and thus the
vile thing is sanctified What ! has God driven asunder the members of his
own household by creating within them implacable aversions ¦? Has He
breathed invincible repulsions into those whom he made of one blood 1 Has
He implanted in a part of his family an instinctive scorn of those who wear
alike with them the image of a common father t Has He given to a portion
of his children a nature which instinctively revolts at the traces of their Fa
ther's hand upon the forms of their own brethren and sisters, and which im
pels them disdainfully to spurn that hue and to make those lineaments a badge
of disgrace which he pronounced good t What an impious blasphemy upon
the common Father of all, thus to bear false witness against him, and vihfy
his equal love for his equal children !

COLONIZATION.
Let no abolitionist dream for a moment that Colonization is dead. The
spirit of it will live while slavery lives ; it Is itself the essence of slavery, and
a more dangerous poison. We say more dangerous, because it wears a false
label. If, like slavery, it went under its true name, its capacity for mischief
would be cut down to a fraction. The great duty of abolitionists respecting
colonization, is to tear off its mask ; to show that its zeal for the free co
lored man is, at the north, a zeal to get him out of the way, because it de
spises and hates him, and, at the south, it is a zeal to separate colored free
men from colored slaves, that it may hold the latter more easily and safely ;
and that in all parts of the country its zeal for Africa is, in a majority of
cases, assumed as a decoy to entrap the missionary feeling of the church into
its support, and to enlist that mawkish sentimentality which whines about
the " Afi-ican slave trade," and sighs over the horrors of the " middle pas
sage," but is deaf as an adder to those moans and wailings, that come surg
ing up like the sea, from ten thousand southern fields, smoking with the
blood of human scourgings. To every abolitionist we say, don't let down
for an instant your vigilance, thinking that the spirit of colonization is either
dead or asleep, or starving out, or tired of hunting its prey, or touched, either
with misgivings or shame; but watch it as you would an assassin on his lurk,
ready to seize nis arm whenever uplifted for its stroke. Let every abolitionist
lay it to heart aneic that the spirit of colonization is a spirit relentless as the
grave against the people of color. It scorns, spurns, persecutes, dooms, and
makes them its prey. From night to day, from day to night, it prowls among
them, seeking whom it may devour. Every man who has had his eyes, ears
and heart open the last eight years, knows that love for the slave, or for the
people of color, or for Africa, has never been the moving power of coloniza
tion. Thanks to one of the principal founders of the colonization society for
the frankne.os with which he acknowledged this. Rev. Dr. Finley published
a letter at the time the American Colonization Society was organized, stating
the reasons for its formation. His first reason for removing the free people
of color to Africa was "we shall de rid of them." Every body knows
that Dr. Finley was, in the free states, the first great apostle of colonization,
and that his " benevolence, philanthropy and piety" are constantly referred to
by colonizationists to prove the purity of their enterprise. Let Dr. Finley
testify to his own benevolence and that of his associates — hear him : " We
SHALL BE rid OF THEM." Just as the Jews exhibited their benevolence to
wards Jesus by crying " Away with him." They covered up their hatred
of Christ by feigning a zeal for God. If they had stated the true reason for
crucifying him, instead of " he blasphemeth," it would have been, " we shall
be rid of him."

BUYERS OF SLAVE PRODUCTS, PARTNERS IN A
SLAVE-HOLDING FIRM.
Most of the work in our cotton factories is done by girls. Now sup
pose the owners of these factories held all these girls as slaves. Suppose they
have torn them from their parents, chained them in coffles, and driven them
to their establishments, where they keep them under drivers, and the whip,
from daylight till dark, half-fed, half-clothed, with no bed but the floor or
ground, and no bedding but a blanket, branded with hot irons, bent under
iron yokes, hung up naked and whipt till covered with blood, gashed with
knives, bruised with bludgeons, their teeth knocked out, their ears cropt, and,
if they escape, hunted with dogs and maimed with bullets, and dragged back
to new tortures We say suppose such ttagedieS were constantly enacted in
our factories — their inmates thus imprisoned, scourged, yoked, fettered,
branded, bleeding, sundered, naked and famished — new victims brought in
every day, and fresh hunters sent out to prowl. Reader, put it to your con
science; would jiow patronise such factories'? Would you buy those spoils
of robbery, the product not merely^of unrequited toil, {that is as the dust of
the balance,) but the product of starvation, nakedness, bereavement, the
bloody lash, and rnd-hot brand, and iron yoke, the stocks, bludgeons, gags,
thumb-screws, rifle bullets, and trained blood-hounds — yea mor^ — the pro
duct of imbruted humanity, annihilated rights, rent ties, cloven hearts,
quenched mind and immortal longings crushed to death. Yea, more — the
product of a system kept in operation solely by the sale of articles wrought
by these victims — a system which would be broken up in a day if their blood-
dyed fabrics could not find a market — a system sanctioned, strengthened, and
perpetuated by the money, countenance, and respectability of every purchaser.
In the name of God and humanity, we push the question home. Would
you support such factories, would you lay down your money on' those accursed
counters'? Would you crowd through those thronged gateways, and stand
amidst those shrieks, wrung hands, dishevelled hair, and frantic welterings,
a cooi: customer ? Would you bribe the mammon wretches who hold them to
start off fresh kidnappers on their prowls 1 Would you hire them to drag in
fresh captives by paying them for whatever they can wring out of them ¦?
Now what we have supposed respecting these factories, every abolitionist
knows is the naked reality of practical slavery in the United States. All
these outrages are actually inflicted upon the slaves of the south ; for the
purpose of wringing from them the cotton, rice, sugar, molasses, and tobacco,
contracted for by northern merchants, and paid for with northern money.
The demand is the cause, the supply is the effect; and the slaveholder's
tortures and robberies are the sole means used to produce the effect. Who
ever buys, whoever uses the products of slave-labor creates the demand, he
plies the cause, he produces the effect, he uses the means. If you buy or use
the products of slave-labor, the slaveholder is your agent in all the tortures
he employs to extort that labor for which you pay him. You keep him in
countenance by paying him well for what he whips out of his slaves. You,
the buyer and consumer, are the prime mover of the whole. You are the
mainspring of the entire machinery of slavery. You originate, direct, and
control its action. If the mainspring dont act, the machinery stops, the slave
is no longer tortured, and no longer a slave. Do you say, " I am only a
part of the mainspring — only one customer out of millions." Well, for that
part^-for your custom, you arc accountable — see to it The slave is held,
riot merely by the legal " owner," but virtually by a slave-holding^rm, con
sisting of the actual holder, who claims him as property, the overseer, who
enforces the claim, the merchant, who endorses it, and hires him to persist in
it ; and lastly, the consumer, who endorses for and employs the whole sys-

1841.] ANTI-SLAVERY ALMANAC. 21
tem of means, instrumentalities, and agencies by paying for the whole.
These individuals, the consumer, the merchant, the holder, and the overseer,
are actual partners in a slave-holding_^7-m. To the former two we say, cither
dissolve your partnership and quit the firm, by refusing to buy and use
the spoils, which the other partners in the firm plunder from the slaves, or
else stop charging them with sin in carrying on their part of the business,
while boasting that your skirts are clear, though you constantly bribe them
to do their part, by keeping them in your employment and payirig them
their price.

CAN SLAVES FEEL^?
" Some years since, when traveling from HaUfax, in North Carolina, to
Warrenton in the same state, we passed a large drove of slaves on their way
to Georgia. Before leaving Halifax, 1 heard that the drivers had purchased
a number of slaves in that vicinity, and started with them that morning, and
that we should probably overtake thein in an hour or two. Before coming
up with the gang, we saw at a distance a colored female, whose appearance
and actions attracted my notice. I said to the driver, (who was a slave,)
' What is the matter of tliat woman, is she crazy V ' No, massa,' said he, ' I
know her, it is  . Her master sold her two children this morning to the
soul-drivers, and she has been following along after them, and I suppose they
have driven her back. Don't you think it would make you act hke you was
crazy, if they should take your children away, and you never see 'em any
more!' By this time we had come up with the woman. She seemed quite
young. As soon as she recognized the driver, she cried out, ' They've gone!
they've gone ! The soul-drivers have got them. Master would sell them.
I told him I could'nt live without my children. I tried to make him sell me
too ; but he beat me and drove me off, and I got away and followed after
them, and the drivers whipped me bfick: — and I never shall see my children
again. Oh! what shall Idol' The poor creature shrieked and tossed her
arms about with maniac wildness — arid beat her bosom, and literally cast
dust into the air, as she moved towards the village. At the last glimpse I
hid of her, she was nearly a quarter of a mile from us, still throwing hand-
fuls of sand around her with the same phrenzied air." — Theo. D. Weld.
On to his unpaid toil, behold thy brother driven,
His quivering, tortured flesh, with cruel stripes is riven.

WILL SLAVES, IF EMANCIPATED, CUT THEIR MASTERS' THROATS 1
Read the following from the Alexandria (D. C.) Gazette : —
Upon a recent visit tothe tomb of Washington, I was much gratified by
the alterations and improvements around it. Eleven colored men were in
dustriously employed in levelling the earth and turfing around the sepulchre.
There was an earnest expression of feeling about them, that induced mo to
inquire if they belonged to the respected lady of the mansion. They stated
they were a few of the many slaves freed by Gehrge Washington, and they
had offered their services upon this last melancholy occasion, as the only re
turn in their power to make to the remains of the man who had been more
than a father to them ; and they should continue their labors as long as any
thing should be pointed out for them to do. I was so interested in this con
duct that I inquired their several names, and the following were given me : —
Joseph Smith, Sambo Anderson, William Anderson his son, Berkley
Clark, Greorge Lear, Dick Jasper, Morris Jasper, Levi Richardson, Joe
Richardson, ~Wm. Moss, Wm. Hays, and Nancy Squander, cooking for the
men. [Fairfax County, Va., Not. 14, 1835.

AMISTAD CAPTIVES.
Nearly all these unfortunate Africans came from Mendi, a country in the
latitude of the Gallinas river, an(] probably fi-om three to five hundred miles
from the Atlantic coast. Their average age is about twenty. Some are as
old as thirty; and some as young as eight or nine. They wore seized
and, with many others, hurried down to the coast about the lost of April,
1839, and there, with three or four hundred men and boys, and about two
hundred women and children, were put on board a slave ship for Havana.
After the terrible " middle passage," placed between decks, where the space
is less than three feet, they arrived at Havana. Here they were put into
one of the large pens, or prisgn-houses, called Baracoons, and offered for sale.
In a few days Joseph Ruiz and Pedro Monies bought them. Ruiz bought
forty-nil. e and Monies bought the children, three little girls. 1 lijy
put them on board the schoorier Amistad, a coaster, for *Pucilo Principe,
Cuba, a few hundred miles from Havana. When they were two or three
days out, they were beaten severely, threatened with death, &-c. A quarrel
took place. The cook and captain were killed, and two sailors fled in a boat.
Cinquez, the master spirit of the whole, assumed the comni.ind. He estab
lished a strict government over his comrades, and jcompellc d Ruiz and Mon
ies to steer the schooner for the rising sun— their own native Africa ! They
did so by day, but in the night they deceived the Africans, and ran towards
the United States.
In this wajTlhey arrived on the American coast, and came to anchor off
Culloden Point, Long Island. Here some of them landed, made purchases,
(paying for all they took,) and sliipped water, intending to proceed on their
passage, but they were taken j.issession of by Lieutenant Gedney, of the
U. S Brig Washington, and carried into New London, Conn. Judge Jud-
son bound them over to the Circuit Court for trial on the charge of murder,
&c. ; but Judge Thompson decided that our courts have no cognizance of
offences committed on board Spanish vessels on the high seas. As, however,
the vessel, fcargo, and Africans had been libelled by Gedney and others for
salvage, it was determined that a trial must take place in the District Couit.
It was held in January, 1840. Judge Judson decided that the prisoners were
native Africans, had never been slaves, legally ; he dismissed the libels with
costs, and decreed that the Africans should be delivered to the president of
the United States, to be sent back to Africa. But our government, on the
demand of the Spanish minister, appealed to the Circuit Court. This court
was held in April, 1840. Judge Thompson sustained the appeal, and as one
party or the other would appeal to a higher tribunal, whichever way he might
decide, the case went up to the Supreme Court of the United States as' a
matter of form : there it will be decided January, 1841. Thus these free
MF.N are to be kept in an American jail eighteen months, and at last, perhaps,
delivered up to the tender mercies of the Spaniards !
Nine of the Africans have died. They have been in jail about a year.
They have been instructed daily by benevolent persons. They have made
some progress in reading and speaking the English language; and their con
duct has been very exemplary. James Covey, a native Mendi, providentially
brouaht to this country, acts as interpreter. They are cheerful, inoffensive,
grateful, obedient, and are fast throwing off their pagan habits— but long for
liberty and their homes. ^
President Van Buren, at the request of the Spanish minister, sent a U.
S. ship to New-Haven last winter, to convey the Africans to Cuba, to be
given up to the Spaniards, in case Judge Judson had not decided as he did.

DESCRIPTION OF CINQUEZ, GRAB-EAU, AND JAMES COVEY THE INTERPRETER.
SiNG-GHE, rCingue,] (generally spelt Cingucz)
was born in Ma-ni, in Dzho-poa, i. «., in the open
land, in the Mendi country. His mother is dead,
and he lived with his father. He has a wife and
three children, one son and two daughters. His
king, Ka-lum-bo, lived at Ka\v-men-di, a large
town in the Men-di country. He is a planter
of rice, and never owned or sold slaves. He was
seized by four men, when traveling in the road,
his right hand tied to his neck. Ma-ya-gi-la-lo
sold him to Ba-nia-dzha, son of Shaka, king of
Gen-du-ma, in the Vai country. Ba-ma-dzha
carried him to Loinboko and sold hiin to a
Spaniard. At Lomboko he was transferred to a
slave-ship, and taken to Havana.
Gi-r,A-BA-nn, [Grab-eau,] (have mercy on me,)
was born at Fu-lu, in the Men-di country, two
moons' journey into the interior. He was the
next after Cingue in command of the Amistad.
His parents are dead, one brother and one sister
living. He is married, but no children ; he is a
planter of rice. He was caught on the road
when going to Taurang, in the Bandi country,
to boy clothes. His uncle had bought two slaves
in Bandi, and gave them in payment for a debt;
one of them ran away, and he (Grab-eau) was
taken for him. He was then sold to a Vai-man,
who sold him to Laigo, a Spaniard, at Lomboko.
James Covey, the interpreter forthe Africans,
is apparently about twenty years^of age; was
born at Benderi in the Men-di country. Covey
was taken by three men, in the eveg^ng, from his
parents' house, he was carried to the Bullom
country, and sold as a slave to the king of the
BuUoms. He was afterwards sold to a Portu
guese, living near Mani. After staying in this
place about one month. Covey was put on board
a Portuguese slave-ship, which was captured by
a British armed vessel, and carried into Sierra
Leone. Covey thus obtained his freedom, and
remained in this place five or six years, and was
taught to read and write in the English language,
in the schools of the Church Missionary Society.
Covey's original name was Kaw-ioe-li, which
signifies, in Mendi, war-road, i. e, a road dangerous to pass, for fear of being
taken captive. , In Nov. 1838, he enlisted as a sailor on board the British
brig of war Buzzard, commanded by Captain Fitzgerald. It was on board
this vessel, when at New- York, in Oct. 1839, that James was found, and by
the kindness of Capt. Fitzgerald his services as an interpreter were procured.

The following touching lines are from the pen of Mrs. M. L. Bailey, the
wife of Dr. G. Bailey, the editor of the Philanthropist, Cincinnati, Ohio: —
THE BLIND BOY.
A Virginian, on his way to Missouri, was recently passing through Ohio
with two women and their children, held by him as slaves. The elder
of the women had been tor.> away from several of her children, who were
left behind in Virginia, in sla\"ery. One of them, a helpless blind boy, her
brutal master sold fiom her for t»'e paltry sum of one dollar!
Come back to me, niv~ther! why linger away.
From thy poor little blind boy, the long weary day !
I mark every footstep, I I'st to each tone,
And wonder my mother sL'>uld leave me alone.
There are voices of sorrow and voices of glee,
But there's no one to joy or to sorrow with me ;
For each hath of pleasure and trouble his share,
And none for the poor little blind boy will care.
My mother, come back to me ! close to thy breast,
Once more let thy poor little blind one be press'd;
Once more let me feel thy warm breath on my cheek,
And hear thee in accents of tenderness speak.
O, mother! I've no one to love me — no heart
Can bear like thine own in my sorrows a part;
No hand is so gentle, no voice is so kind.
Oh ! none hke a mother can cherish the blind.
Come back to me mother ! why linger away,
From thy poor little blind boy the long weary day 1
. I mark every footstep, I list to each tone.
And wonder my mother hath left me alone.
Poor blind one ! No mother thy wailing can hear.
No mother can hasten to banish thy fear ;
For the slave-owner drives her o'er mountain and "wild.
And for one paltry dollar hath sold thee poor child.
Ah ! who can in language of mortals reveal
¦0. The anguish that none but a mother can feel.
When man in his vile lust of mammon hath trod
^ On her child, who is stricken and smitten of God!
BUnd, helpless, forsaken, with strangers alone.
She hears in her anguish his piteous moan;
¦ As he eagerly listens — but listens in vain.
To catch the lov'd tones of his mother again.
The curse of the broken in spirit shall fall
On the wretch who hath mingled this wormwood and gall.
And his gain like a mildew shall blight and destroy.
Who hath torn from his mother the little bUnd boy.

WHO SHALL PRAY FOR THE SLAVE'?
We have agents to speak for the slave, but who shall pray for him ¦? We
have editors and others to write for the slave — but who shall pray for him 1
We have societies, and multiplying hosts to labor for the slave — but who shall
pray for him t We have ministers — a. few of them, thank God, who dare to
preach for the slave — but who shall pray for him 1 We have statesmen, here
and there one, who plead for the slave — but who shall pray for him 1 We
have multitudes who petition for him, and though oft repulsed, -still petition —

1841.] ANT I- SLAVERY ALMANAC. 25
but who shall pray for the slave 1 Shall it be true, that what is left for all to
dn, will be done by none 1 God forbid ! Who, then, shall pray for the slave ?
j1/;— all the children of prayer. Lecturers must pray for him, if they would
speak well for him : editors must pray for him, if they would write well for
hnn: ministers must pray for him, if they would preach well for him: states
men must pray for him, if they would plead well for hiin : petitioners must
pray for him, if they would have their prayers received and answered.
PRAY FOR THE SLAVE.
Abolitionists, do you pray for the slave? I dont ask whether you labor for
him, or give for him, or speak or write for him, or vote or petition for him.
But do you pray for the slave 1 If this part of the work is not done faithfully,
rely upon it, nothing else will be well done. And if this be done as it should
be, no other duty to the slave will lie neglected. I dont ask whether you
mention him in your petitions at the monthly concert, or in the conference
room, or at the family altar, or in the closet, or at set times ai^d places, or in
set postures, or set phrases, or in connected expressions or ejaculations — but
do you PRAY for the slaved Do you put your souls in his soul's stead, and
wrestle with God for his deliverance ? Do you piay as much, and plead as
fervently, and wrestle as agonizingly as you would if you firmly believed that
it is Grod that must redeem him if he ever is redeemed, and that He surely
WILL D) it]
Prayer is indispensable. It will strengthen our hearts and our hands
while we toil. It will soften and sweeten our spirits, and prepare us to speak
the truth in love. It will fill us with that holy courage so needful amid the
popular violence and haughty menaces that beset us. It will keep our mo
tives pure, and our eye single. It will buoy us above the pollutions of worldly
expediency, and poise us immoveably in the pure upper air of principle. It
will draw down into our councils wisdom from above, and arm our measures
with the energy of faith.
Though prayer is not a substitute for other instrumentalities, yet it is
above all, as God is above man, and operates with and through all. There
fore, as we would have God co-operate with us in the dehverance of the en
slaved, let us exalt prater.

PEAT FOR THE SLAVEnOLDEB-
O ! forget him not ye who plead for his slaves. He needs y5ur prayers.
God is arrayed against him. " If he turn not, he will whet his sword ; he
hath bent his bow and made it ready." O pray for him ere thg bent bow
twangs above him, and the "arrows cf the Almighty" drink up his spirit.
He needs your prayers. Never was mortal more destitute of prayer. Re
member that no effectual prayer can go up for the slaveholder except from
those who pray for the dehverance of the slave. As ye love his soul, as ye
hate his sins, as ye deprecate his doom, pray for the guilty slaveholder.

PLEAD the promises.
Not to pray for the slave is almost as great a sin as slavery itself. It is
practical unbeUef of the promises, and makes God a liar. Think of the
promises of God for the deliverance of the enslaved ! The Bible is full of
them. Here is a single specimen out of hundreds ; " The Lord executeth
righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed," (Ps. 103, 6.) How
positive — how emphatic — how universal — how unconditional! And yet
there is one condition, though not expressed. " Thus saith the Lord God :
I will yet for this be enquired of by the house of Israel, to do it for them."
Then plead ihe promises.

"HE MY ENEMY, MASSA."
The following was first published in the London Christian Observer : —
A slave in one of the islands of the West Indies, who had originally come
from Afirica, having been brought under the influence of religious instruction,
became singularly valuable to his owner, on account of his integrity and gen
eral good conduct. After some time his master raised him to a situation of
some consequence in the management of his estate; and on one occasion, wish
ing to purchase twenty additional slaves, employed him to make the selection,
giving him instruction to choose those who were strong and likely to make
good workmen. The man went to the slave market and commenced his
scrutiny. He had not long surveyed the multitude offered for sale, before he
fixed his eye upon one old and decrepit slave, and told his master that he must
be one. The master appeared greatly surprised at his choice, and remonstrated
against it. The poor fellow begged that he might he indulged ; when the
dealer remarked, that if they were about to buy twenty, he would give them
the man in the bargain. The purchase was accordingly made, and the
slaves were conducted to the plantation of their master ; but upon none did
the selecter bestow half the attention and care that he did upon the poor old
decrepit African. He took him to his own habitation, and laid him upon
his own bed ; he fed him at his own table, and gave him drink out of his
own cup: when he was cold, he carried him into the sunshine; and when
he was hot, he placed him under the shade of the cocoanut-tree. Astonished
at the attention this confidential slave bestowed upon a fellow slave, his mas
ter interrogated him upon the subject. — He said, " You could not take so
much interest in the old man, but for some special reason : he is a relation of
yours, perhaps your father T' " No, massa," answered the poor fellow, " he
no my fader." "He is then an elder brother'!" "No, massa, he no my
broder!" "Then he is an uncle, or some other relation T' "No, massa, he
no be my kindred at all, nor even my friend !" " Then," asked the master,
"on what account does he excite your interest 1" "He my enemy, massa,"
replied the slave, " he sold me to the slave dealer ; and my Bible tell me, when
my enemy hunger, feed him, and when he thirst, give him drink."
SIMON MOODY AND HIS MASTER.
Mrs. Mary L Gage, wife of the Rev. Wm. Gage, of Ross Co. Ohio, tells
the following story in a letter to the Female A. S. Society of Reading, Mass.
The facts are well known in and around Chilicothe, Ohio : —
" Simon Moody, with whom we are acquainted, was freed some years ^nce
by his master, a 'Virginian planter, and furnished with a horse to take him to
Ohio. He had gone but a little way, when he returned — told his master he
had given him all he needed, the best of gifts, and he came back to leave the
horse. " I have my free papers — I can get to Ohio. Massa may need the
horse — I am free — I can work and buy one." He came to Chilicothe,
worked until he had money enough to buy a farm ; has now a good house,
and his farm is well stocked.
Going to Chilicothe to market one day, his attention was directed to a
crowd of boys running and hallooing after a drunken man. Simon came up
with the crowd just as the man fell in the street ; he looked over the boys'
heads, recognised the stranger, rushed through the crowd, embraced the
prostrate body, crying out — " 0 ! master, master !" He took him into his wag
gon, carried him home, clothed him well, and told him that he would take
care of him as long as he lived, and never ask him to do a stroke of work.
The old master had become dissipated — lost his property, and was on his-
way to see his friends in Kentucky. — He spent some time with Simon, who
furnished him with money to pursue his journey, and at parting said, " Now,

1841.] ANTI-SLAVERY ALMANAC. 27
master, if your friends in Kentucky will not own you, come live with me,
and welcome." After a few months, he returned in as pitiable a condition
as before. Simon again supplied his wants, and helped hun on to Virginia."
OUT OP thine own mouth will i condemn thee.
John C. Calhoun, a South CaroUna slaveholder, said, in a speech in con
gress in 1 833, " He who earns money — who digs it from the earth in the
sweat of his brow, has a just title to it against the universe. No one has a
right to touch it without his consent, except his government, and it only to
the extent of its legitimate wants — to take more is robbery." Benjamin
Watkins Leigh, a Virginia slaveholder, in his speech before the Virginia
convention in 1829, said, "Everyman is entitled to the property he has
earned by his own labor."
THE LEAVEN WORKING.
"What good have you done 1" "Whatslaveshaveyou emancipated]" These
questions have been in every body's mouth for years. The temper in which
they are uniformly put, shows them to be the mere taunts of a cavilling spirit ;
and on this account abolitionists have been at no pains to answer them. Our
httle almanac has no room for Bifull answer, but we will make a beginning.
What good have abolitionists done 1 They have kept Texas out of the
Union. Slave-holders admit this, and curse them for it. They have influ
enced legislatures to pass resolurions in favor of the abolition of slavery in the
District of Columbia : to pass laws granting trial by jury to alleged fugitives
from slavery. They have secured judicial decisions of supreme courts, settling
the principle that if slave-holders bring their slaves within their jurisdiction
they axe free. They have rescued from slavery, hundreds of kidnapped free
men : they have defended the Amistad captives : they have helped on their
way to Canada thousands of slaves who had taken their own bodies into their
own possession; they have unmasked that greatest of all humbugs, the colo
nization society: they have defined, discussed, and enforced the founda
tion principles of our government, and given them a far stronger hold upon
hundreds of thousands than they ever had before. They have secured a
homage to the dignity and sacredness of human rights more profound than
has ever been rendered to them in this republic. They have settled legal,
constitutional and biblical questions fundamental to human rights : they
have got hundreds of ministers to preach against slavery, and thousands of
Christians to pray against it, and hundreds of thousands of men and women
to petition against it : they have abolished the " negro seat" in many churches :
they have given to thousands of colored children the means of education :
they have entirely uprooted "prejudice against color" from many minds, and
greatly weakened it in tens of thousands more: they have produced a great
change in public sentiment in the free states, on the subject of slavery, and
excited in multitudes an abhorrence of slavery that will never die.
EFFECTS ON SLATE-HOLDERS.
The following are some of the effects produced by abolitionists upon slave
holders and the slave states : — They have driven slavery from its coverts into
the open field; they have stripped the mask from slave-holders — stopped their
whining about slavery being " an evil," and " entailed" upon them, and how
they " would get rid of it, if they could," and forced them to show themselves
in their true colors.
Whoever wi.shes to know what good abolitionists have done, let him ask
slaveholders what they think of it. When slaveholders bluster about the
I Tnischief abolitionists have done, remember, that what they call mischief,
means mischief to slavery, not liberty. How happens it that anti-abolitionists
I never take this easy way of finding out whether abohtion is building up

28 ANTI-SLAVERY ALMANAC. [1841.
slavery or pulling it down 1 Why do slave-holders rave at abolitionists 1 Is
it because they are propping up slavery, or because they are u ndermining it 1
The fact that they gnash with rage upon them, hunt them like wild beasts,
offer rewards for their heads, and Lynch or kill all they can catch ; that
slave-holding ministers, and churches, slave-holding legislatures, slave-hold
ing members of congress, and slaveholders great and small, are at work,
with the fury of a death struggle, to resist abolition doctrines and measures,
shows that they know that those doctrines and measures tend to overturn
their system. We might put in here facts by the hundred, showing how
slave-holders are in terror at the effects of anti-slavery societies upon their
system. We have roo.m for only a few.
SLAVE-HOLDERS IN A PANIC.
Not lonff since, most strenuous efforts were made to estabhsh a Southern
Review: Judge Upsur of Virginia was secured as its editor, and issued his
prospectus, in which he says, " The defence of the peculiar Institutions of
the slave-holding states is the great and leading object of the work ;" and
adds, " that they are in danger it would be folly to disguise. A party has
arisen in the other states, whose object is the overthrow of the relation of
master and slave; and from present appearances it will continue to increase
till the object it has in view is consummated, unless efficient raensures be
adopted to arrest further progress." The editor of the South Carolina Mes
senger, in earnestly soliciting subscriptions for the work, says, " Citizens of
the slave-holding states, you are assailed in the most vulnerable point, you
have reached the crisis of your fate. If your institutions are ever to be de
fended, no time is to be lost. Delay, in all cases dangerous, would be fatal
in this."
HoM. J. F. Claiborne, of Mississippi, in his speech in congress in 1837,
said, " Mr. Speaker, their (the abolitionists) incendiary pubhcations have
already done us irremediable tffischief I tell you, sir, in the name of the
50,000 freemen I represent, that we mu.st be quieted on this question, we
must receive a solemn assurance that our rights are neither to be questioned
or debated." The editor of the " Charleston (S. C.) Mercury," in trying to
stimulate all slave-holders to resist to the utmost the progress of abolition doc
trines, says, " The slave-holding interest, wherever spread, must join their
forces and stand in a body, or they will be hewn down and trampled un
derfoot." Daniel K. Whitaker, late editor of the Southern Review, published at
Charleston, South Carohna, in his letters to Dr. Channing, (see Letters of
" Sidney,") referring to anti-slavery societies, says, " They are associations
that the south dread."
Hon James Rhett, of South Carolina, in a speech before the senate of
that state, iti the winter of 1838, on the necessity of "putting down" aboli
tionism, conjures the south by every thing sacred, " not to remain timidly at
rest until this dreadful cloud of calumny, shame, and degradation, is per
mitted to overwhelm us * * * branded as the oppressors of mankind, and
the enemies of our race." The panic into which the doctrines and mea
sures of abolitionists have thrown the south is shown in the fact that Gover
nor BuTi.BR, of South Carolina, sent fifty dollars in a letter to Hollis Parker,
(now one of the convicts in the Massachusetts state-prison,) in which the
governor entreated said Parker to reveal to him all the machinations within
his knowledge of the abolitionists against the " Institution of slavery." Par
ker, it seems, had written to the governor, pro nising for fifty dollars to make
wonderful revelations about abolitionists ; but unluckily for him, before the
remittance of " secret service money" from the South Carolina treasury came,
Parker, in trying to " raise the wind" in another way, got into the state-
prison, and the letter on its arrival found other hands.

Governor Campbell, of Virginia, in a letter to the secretary of the
American Anti-Slavery Society, dated Dec. 4, 1837, says, " Regarding your
society as highly mischievous, I decUne receiving any communications
from it."
Governor Bagby, of Alabama, in a letter to Mr. Birney, dated Tusca
loosa, January 6, 1838, says, " It is presuming too much, to expect that the
chief magistrate of a free people would give currency to the pubhcations
of a society, engaged in a scheme fraught with more mischievous conse
quences to their interest and repose, than any that the wit or folly of man
kind has heretofore devised."
The Alabama Journal of March 14, 1838, contains a letter from a mem
ber of congress from that state, dated February 19, 1838, from which the fol
lowing is an extract : — " I am worried almost beyond endurance. As a
southern man I am filled with anxiety by the proceedings of the abolitionists.
The growth of their numbers, the daring extent of their schemes, their bold
ness and growing power are such, that a crisis will be rapidly precipitated
upon us. We have great cause to /ear the future."
The Mobile (Ala.) Advertiser thus shows its alarm at the progress of anti-
slavery sentiments : — " The south have an awful foe in all those who de
mand the emancipation of their slaves, and who call upon them to give up
their property now and for ever."
Samuel Cruse, a well known slaveholder of Huntsville, Alabama, to
whom a copy of the Bible against Slavery had been sent, returned it to New-
York with the following note, dated Nov. 9, 1837 : — " We respectfully re
quest that no more of like nature be transmitted here, as they cannot
possibly be productive of any thing but the most sei^ous agitation of the
public mind."
The celebrated Joh.v Randolph, of Roanoke, in his speech in the Vir
ginia Convention, said, " Mr. President, nothing alarms me so much as the
fanatical spirit on the subject of negro slavery growing up in the land."
The New Orleans Commercial Bulletin of January 24, 1839, speaking of
abolitionists, says, " They are an organized body, disciplined by skilful lead
ers, conscious of power, combining wealth, talent, religious bigotry, and the
fearful influence of the press. Jeer as we might at the impotency of their
former proceedings, their strength can no longer be disputed.
We have on our table a multitude of smiilar extracts from southern papers,
making it plain that throughout the slave states, slave-holders feci their sys
tem shaking under the attacks of abohtionists, and are at their wits' end,
casting about in terror for something to ward off the blows. Every slave
holder has run up his flag of distress and cries of " help, help, against the
abolitionists," come up like the noise of waves from all the south.
cause of the panic — slave-holders *jot scared for nothing.
Now what has frightened slaveholders'? Answer — they find that the
enemy is in the camp — that the doctrines of abolitionists have taken strong
hold in the slave states — listen to their own testimony : —
Hon. James T. Morehead, late acting governor of Kentucky, in a speech
at the last session of the legislature of that state, said, " It is well known,
Mr. Speaker, that there is a large, respectable^ and intelligent party in Ken
tucky, who will exert every nerve, and spare no efforts to dislodge the sub
sisting rights to our slave population."
The Lexington Observer, in an article published at the time of this speech,
said, "Some of the brightest ornaments of Kentucky are of opinion that
slavery is a great moral and political curse."
The North Carolina Watchman, published at Salisbury, says, " We are
inclined to believe that there is more abolition at the south than prudence
wiU permit to he openly avowed."

30 ANTI-SLAVERY ALMANAC. [1841.
Rev. James Smylie, clerk of a Mississippi presbytery, and a large slave
holder, makes the following declaration in the Introduction to his late work
on slavery : — " From his intercourse with religious societies of all denomina
tions in Mississippi and Louisiana, the author was aw.are that the abolition
maxim, that slavery is in itself sinful, had gained on and entwined itself in the
religious and conscientious scruples of many in the community."
A letter from Maryville (Tennessee) Theological Seminary to the editcr
of the Emancipator, dated Feb. 27, 1838, says, " At least one-half of the stu
dents of this theological institution are decided abolitionists, and are veiy
much strengthened by perusing the publications sent by you."
A letter written by a gentleman residing in the central part of Arkansas,
dated B  , Arkansas, May 14, 1839, and published in the Oberlin Evan
gelist, speaking of the working of the anti-slavery leaven in that state, says,
" A great many here hold the principles of the abolitionists. An anti-
slavery society, auxiliary to the American Anti-Slavery Society, was formed
in Bedford county, Tennessee, four years since; James Kennedy, president,
Allen Leeper, secretary."
A petition for the abohtion of slavery in the District of Columbia, was sent
to the last congress from one of the western counties of Virginia. It was
signed by twenty-two citizens, and among them was John Gilmore, one of
the county magistrates.
A gentleman of Frederick County, Maryland, writing to the editor of the
Pennsylvania Freeman, says, " The anti-slavery cause is rapidly gaining
ground in this section of the country. Three years ago, abolitionist and
insurrectionist were interchangeable terms, and an abolition paper a prodigy ;
now anti-slavery papers are read regularly by our most respectable and in
telligent citizens."
Mr. C. Matlack, of Pennsylvania, has lately published a letter in the Penn.
Freeman, giving an account of a recent abolition discussion near Leesburg,
Virginia, at the close of which a rote was taken, and a majority of the meet
ing decided against slavery.
In the celebrated debate in the Virginia legislature, Mr. Brown of Peters
burg said, "Sir, if abolitionists will persevere in agitating this question, the
time is not distant when the harassed slave-holder may find it a relief to
embrace even this alternative" — (that of abandoning the state.)
Anumberof anti-slavery societies have recently been formed in Pennsyl
vania, near the line of Virginia, and many Virginians have become members.
One of these societies has one hundred and fifty members, of which about
one-third are citizens of Virginia. The president of another society was
lately high-sheriff of Rockineham County, Va. The last annual report of
the Maryland Colonization Society complains of abolitionists as follows : —
" It would have been supposed that Maryland, one of the slaveholding states,
would have been free from abolition ; but abolition works its mischiefs m \
Maryland as well as elsewhere." The substance of its accusations against
abolitionists is, that they are able to " counteract the movements of the se
ciety," — that they " track the steps of its agents," and that " it is now easy
for them to render useless the labors of the agent of the society."
Mr. John Needles, of Baltimore, is one of the Vice Presidents of the
American Anti-Slavery Society.
At the last session of the legislature of Delaware, a petition praying for the
abolition of slavery in that state, and signed by three hundred and nineteen
women of the city of Wilmington, was presented and referred to a committee.
Dr. Nelso.v, late president of Marion College, Missouri, in a letter tothe
editor of the Emancipator, dated August "21, 1839, speaking of the progress
of anti-slavery principles in Missouri, during the last four years, says, " I
look at the present state of affairs with more than astonishment ! I am aston
ished, (not because I did not expect that discussion would be certain victory ;

but) that debate, so seldom and so faint, should have a result so speedily !
Even a little agitation has had an effect, blessed— promising — oh, how pro
mising!!! What will the next four years accomplish 1"
Ml'. E. Sibley, writing from Bardstown, Kentucky, to the editor of Zion's
Watchman, New- York, says, " Much abolition leaven is circulating here.
Yesterday I fell in with the Rev. Mr. M  of the Kentucky Conti!rence.
I found him a decided abolitionist I am convinced there is much more
abolitionism here than the nofth is generally appiised of"
Hon. vVm. Shoe, member of congress from Vermont, received a letter
from a slaveholder, dated June 5, 1838, thanking him for his abohtion
speech in congress, and beseeching him to continue his war upon slavery.
Rev. Wm. Allan, son of Rev. Dr. Allan, a slaveholder of Huntsville,
Alabama, said, in a speech in Ohio in 1837, " W bile I was attending an
anti-slavery meeting in New- York last spring, a Methodist minister from
Virginia came upon the platform and said, ' Go on, brethren, God speed you.
I know cf thousands in Virginia who arc with you.' "
Dr. Amos Farnsworth of Groton, Mass., gives the following testimony: —
" I recently had an interview with a slave-holder from the south, who, during
a warm discussion on slavery, made the following acknowledgment: ' The
worst of it is, we have fanatics among ourselves, and we dont know what to
do with them, for they are increasing fast, and are sustained in their opposi
tion to slavery by the abolitionists of the north.' "
Ret. Mr. Isham, late editor of the Michigan Observer, published not long
since the following in his paper : — " I have just received a letter from a highly
valued friend in iVlississippi, who says, ' I was recently conversing with a
lawyer of Woodville in tins state, a Kentuckian by birth and education, who
said, The abolitionists stand on the right ground, and their principles must
prevail.' "
Ret. Henry T. Cheever, of Maine, writing firom Louisiana (where he
spent a year and a half) to the editor of the New- York Evangelist, says,
j " The impression is becoming common among American planters, (I speak
from personal knowledge only of Louisiana,) that in consequence of the
doings of England, and the rapid advance of abohtion principles at the north,
slavery must ere long come to an end."
General Duff Green, late editor of the United States Telegraph at
Washington city, in one of the numbers of that paper says, " AVe believe
the south has nothing to fear from a servile war. We do not believe that
the abolitionists intend to excite the slaves to insurrection. We believe that
we have most to fear from the organized action upon the consciences and fears
of the slave-holders themselves ; fi'om the insinuation of their dangerous
heresies into our schools, our pulpits, and our domestic circles."
A slave-holder in Virginia, the owner of one hundred slaves, wrote to
Arthur Tappan, of New- York, in 1836, declaring himself convinced that
slavery was a sin, and avowing his determination to make arrangements to
emancipate his slaves.
Dr. Bailey, editor of the Philanthropist, Cincinnati, Ohio, received a letter
from a correspondent in Tennessee, dated March 6, 1840, containing the
following : — " As your glorious principles pervade the north, they will find
their way south : within the last three or four months, fortt-fitb slates
have been liberated in this county."
In 1835, William R. Buford, a well known citizen of Virginia, who had
then recently emancipated his slaves, published a letter in the Hampshire
Gazette, (Mass.) in which he says, " I think the abohtionists have done, and
are doing, a great deal of good."
In the fall of 1835, a series of articles on the subject of slavery was piib-
lished in the Lexington (Kentucky) InteUigencer : in one of tM numbers

the writer says, " Much of the preceding matter was inserted in May, 1833,
in the Louisville Herald. A great change has since taken place in pubhc
sentiment. Colonization, then a favorite measure, is now rejected for instant
emancipation." During the interval of lime here mentioned, Birney's letter
against colonization was published at Lexington, Ky., and the Kentucky
Anti-Slavery Society was formed, with Professor Buchanan of Centre Col
lege at its head. A professional gentleman residing in Richmond, Virginia,
in a letter to the publisher of the Emancipator, dated April 1, 1837, says,
" Though a Virginian born and bred, I now consider the anti-slavery cause
a just and holy one. Deep reflection, the reading of your excellent publica
tions, and years of travel in Europe, have made me what I am proud to call
myself, an abolitionist." The Southern Literary Review, published in
Charleston, South Carolina, made this declaration in 1837, respecting the
effect of anti-slavery discussions upon the slave-holders of that state: — " There
are many good men even among us who have begun to grow timid, and to
loo]i. fearfully around them." Rev. N. H. Harding, a leading Presbyterian
preacher in North Carohna, and a slaveholder, who had, in 1834, visited the
north, and raved against abolitionists, a few months after his return, wrote in
a letter to a clergyman in Maine, as follows : — *' I feel it a duty to say that
my views and feelings have, after mature deliberation and much prayer, been
entirely changed, that I am now a strong anti-slavery man. Henceforth it
shall be a part of my religion to oppose slavery."
But we must stop short for want of room, though scores of testimonies,
similar to the preceding, now lie on our table. The foregoing are sufficient
to show that the leaven of anti-slavery principles is powerfully at work in the
slave states. The reader perceives that we have withheld the names of a
number of the persons whose testimony is given in the preceding details. To
publish them would he to put in peril the lives of the individuals in question.
We have, in conclusion, a word to say in reply to the question. " What
slave-holders have you induced to emancipate their slaves, and how many
have they set free?" It is impossible to stale the number with any accuracy.
Probably not more than half the emancipations that have taken place within
a few years, through the influence of anti-slavery societies and publications,
are known to abolitionists. The following is a list of such emancipations as
have come to the writer's knowledge.
Benjamin Lundy, late editor of the Genius of Universal Emancipation,

Most of these emancipations have taken place since 1 832, and more than
three hundred of the slaves were emancipated within the last year.
Nearly all the persons who hberated them are known to have been influenced
to do it by abolition discussions, pubhcations, &c. To the preceding list of
persons who have emancipated their slaves, eight or ten more might be added,
but we have not sufficiently accurate information of their names and resi
dences, and the number of slaves eqiancipated by them, to enable us to give
details. It vrill be perceived that some of the persons emancipating do not now live
in slave states. We have given in such cases the residences of the slaves
emancipated, instead of the present residence of the emancipator.

The foHowing is an extract from the address of His Excellency Sir Chas.
Metcalp, to the legislature of Jamaica at the close of their session, April 11,
1840. We copy it from the Jamaica " Royal Gazette :" —
" The srreat work of freedom has been accomplished with the MOST
BENEFICIAL RESULTS. The easy and independent circumstances
of the peasantry, as co.-npared with those of our own countrymen at home, are
very striking. Probably no peasantry, in any other quarter of the globe,
have such comforts and advantages. I am very happy to add that in most
respects they appear to deserve their good fortune. They are, I understand,
generally orderly, sober, free from crime, much improved in their moral
habits, constant in their attendance at public worship, solicitous for the edu
cation of their children, and WILLING TO PAY THE REaUISITE
EXPENSE."
The editor of the Royal Gazette, speaking of this testimony of the gover
nor to the excellent conduct of the emancipated slaves, says, " Sir Charles'
opinion of the people is quite correct."

34 ANTI-SLAVERY A L'M A N A C . [1841.
Reader, keep in mind that the emancipated slaves in Jamaica are to the
whites as eighteen to one ! Now read over again the above testimony of .the
governor to the industry, sobriety, good order, and comfortable conditibn of
these emancipated slaves. Then read it to your neighbor — take it to your
newspaper editor — get him to publish it — and, if you can't get it in without,
pay for it as an advertisement. " Let there be light." Flash it upon the
blushless front of Preslavery till it blazes.
EFFECTS OF EMANCIPATION IN JAMAICA.
The following testimony has been furnished for the Almanac by the Rev.
D. S. Ingraham, pastor of a church near Kingston, Jamaica, who is now,
(June, 1840,) on a visit to this country : —
1st. It has greatly increased the value of all kinds of property. — Land,
to the amount of 60 or 70 acres near where I reside, in Jamaica, has recently
been sold for S60 per acre, and had there been ten times as much for sale, it
would have sold readily at that price. This land was purchased, a short time
before emancipation for %\b dollars per acre. I know of much land which
is now leering for more money yearly than it would have soW^or during
slavery. 2d. It has promoted the peace and safety of the Island. Previous to
emancipation it was thought necessary to keep six regiments of soldiers to
keep the slaves in subjection, and to secure the safety of the whites ; and
also the mihtia met monthly in each parish. Since freedom was declared,
one half of the soldiers have been removed, and in the parish where I hve, the
militia has ceased entirely to muster.
3d. It has diminished crime. Previous to emancipation, jails and houses
of correction were generally filled and often crowded: since then they have
had very few tenants. In one parish that I visited a short tune since, there
was but one person in the jail or house of correction, and he a white man,
and the keeper was under half-pay because he had so Utile to do. I lately
visited the jail and house of correction in the parish where I reside, and,
though previous to freedom they had swarms of convicts, yet I could find
only three or four there ; at present a part of the premises are converted into
a parish hospital, and the cogs of the bloody old tread-mill were encrusted
with rust. 1 have traveled in various parts of the island by day and by night,
and was never insulted or disturbed by the blacks in any way.
4th. It has made the laboring population far more industrious. — A
gentleman who has been a planter in Jamaica for the last twenty years, told
me not long since that there is undoubtedly far more work done in that island
now than ever before, and any one can see that such is the case. Wherever
you look abroad, you see forests giving place to gardens, provision grounds,
and cornfields, and behold numbers of comfortable houses growing up under
the hand of industry and perseverance. In many cases they have built vil
lages since emancipation : I know of one where there are at least one thou
sand inhabitants, and others that are smaller which have been built entirely
since freedom, and by those who were formerly slaves.
5th. It has called forth a spirit of invention and improvement. During
slavery, ploughs were seldom used in Jamaica, and it cost fifteen dollars to dig
up and prepare an acre of land for planting sugar-cane. Since emancipation
the plough is coming into use. An overseer told me he was then ploughing
land and preparing it for canes for $1 75 per acre, instead of paying S15 to
have it dug up. The following improvements, now going on there, occur to
my mind : — A stage has been started from Kingston to Spanish Town.
Roads and streets are being M' Adamised. A steam mill bakery at Kingston
is now baking firom sixty to sixty-five barrels of flour per day. Many new
maikets are springing up in different par-ts of the country. At Kingston there

1841.] ANTI-SLAVERY ALMANAC. SS"
is now a market every day, while in the days of slavery there was one per
week, and that on the Sabbath. Agricultural societies are forming. Socie
ties for the promotion of civil and reUgious Uberty, tempeiance societies,
" tetotal" societies, and many abolition societies, with planters, attorneys,
and overseers for presidents, vicepresidents, &c., &c.
6th. Emancipation has created an universal desire for knowledge. — Here
I could give a host of facts, but two or three must suffice. In several in
stances the people from a distance of fifteen and some more than twenty
miles, have met and commissioned some two or three, or four, of their num
ber to go in search of a teacher and preacher, and they have come to me and
plead with an eloquence that no Christian's heart could resist. They would
say, "Minister, do come and see we, — we all ignorant, and so much big
pickaniney that dont know nothing." " Do try for get we teacher — we take
care of him — sind sdl try for learn something about we poor soul." Some
break out like this, " We -iron* hve so no longer." Such appeals, with the
tearful eye and earnest look, have always overcome me ; and I have gone
hither and thither to six or eight different places ; and when for any cause I
did not go to them at the appointed time, a man or boy was loaded with pre
sents of fruits, vegetables, fowls, &c., &c., and sent, perhaps barefooted, fif
teen or twenty miles down the mountains to see what was the matter of
" Minister." In one case, when I had to pass through a toll gate, the people,
as I was leaving them gave me a paper rolled up, " Here, minister," said
they, "is some money to pay your toll-gate." "When I opened the paper, I
found six dollars to pay twenty-five cents. O who would not rejoice to see
the oppressed go Gree in this country, and who that has a heart to feel,
or hands to labor, would not employ them to bring about universal emanci
pation. Datid S. Ingraham.

CANDIDATES FOR PRESIDENT AND VICE PRESIDENT.
The question who shall be President and Vice President of the United
States for four years from March 1841, will be settled in November 1840.
As this almanac is for 1841, and the choice of presidential electors will have
taken place before it gets into circulation, and especially as the anti-slavery
almanac for 1840 exposed in full the preslavery of President Van Buren
and General Harrison, we have hut a word to say on the subject now. Every
abolitionist has learned, through the anti-slavery and other papers, that both
of the candidates have, since the publication cf the last almanac, pubUcly en-
tlorsed all their previous declarations in favor of slavery, and formally renewed
their adhesion to it. To vote for either of them is perfidy to the slate
AND APOSTACY FROM LIBERTY.
The question whether it is expedient for abolitionists to make a nomina
tion of their own for President and Vice President has been under discussion
for a year past in anti slavery newspapers and conventions. We shall not
argue this question here. Principles, and facts teaching principles, are the
proper filling up of an anti-slavery almanac. Questions as to measares, or
the modes of carrying out principles, are of incalculable importance, and de
mand the most thorough discussion, such a discussion as befits anti slavery
newspapers, but which an almanac has no room for. As to the proportion
of the abolitionists of the country who have united in making an anti-slavery
nomination, James G. Birney of New- York for president, and Thomas Earle
of Pennsylvania for vicepresident, we have no data for accurate statement,
but believe it to be a very small proportion. Not that the great body of abe
Utioniste doubt the fitness of the men, but assert the inexpediency of the
measure

No public act of any ecclesiastical body in America was ever so infamous
as the passage of the following resolution by the General Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, May 28, 1840;—
" Resolved, That it is Inexpedient and unjustifiable for any
preacher to permit colored persons to give testimony against white
persons in any state where they are denied that privilege iu trials
at law."
This resolution is outrageously unjust, unless the colored Methodists in
Ohio and the slave states are unworthy of belief Let those who recognise
80,000 slaves as members of Christ's body, while they thrust a gag into their
mouths, tell us if they fellowship liars, or if they have robbed their Savior's
brethren of a right to testify against their plunderers, because state laws had
done so before.
