Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Lecture on the Present Relations of Free Labor to Slave Labor, in Tropical and Semi-Tropical Countries Gentlemen: It had been in contemplation, during your Summer Session at Columbus, to ask the privilege of addressing you on the subject of the Constitutional provision which should be made to secure Legislative aid for such of the colored people of Ohio as may wish to emigrate to Liberia. But your early adjournment prevented the execution of that design. After consultation with some of your number, it has been determined, that the Lecture, prepared for that purpose, be printed and circulated among the members of the Convention, in advance of their meeting in December. An apology would be due, on account of the extent of the investigations embraced in the Lecture, were it not that we live in a matter-of-fact age, when the reasons offered in support of every measure, proposed for public acceptance, must amount to demonstration. The present Lecture is designed as a sequel to the two heretofore delivered before the Legislature, on the subject of Colonization, and which were laid upon your desks at Columbus. It is believed that every unprejudiced mind must be convinced, after examining the subject of Colonization to Liberia, in all its bearings, that it offers to the colored people an inheritance almost infinitely more valuable than any other scheme that has been proposed for ameliorating their condition. It is also believed that the time has arrived when the question of the. emigration of the colored people from this country, or their permanent residence among us, must he settled. If the first measure be not adopted, then the public peace and safety demand that ample provision for their elevation, to equal social and political equality, under the last, be speedily made. But if it be the public will, that the African population of our country be secured in the peaceable possession of a free government of their own, then immediate action should be taken to promote that object. To delay the adoption of measures for encouraging emigration to Liberia, affords time for their increase, and makes the work more difficult to accomplish. The success of our proposed Colony from this State to Ohio in Africa, will prompt other States to similar efforts, and the cause of Colonization be greatly advanced. But as the extent of our success, in planting our Ohio Colony, must depend upon the amount of pecuniary aid that will be given by the Stale itself, it is respectfully urged that you will give the proposition, brought forward in the close of the Lecture, all the consideration that its importance demands.
