Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Address at the Annual Meeting of the Pennsylvania Colonization Society: November 11, 1839 Though deeply sensible of the honour conferred on me, by your invitation to occupy, for a brief time, this place on this occasion, I must be permitted to express regret at my inability to fulfil expectations which may reasonably have been cherished in view of the annual assemblage of the members and friends of this association; and, especially, that the gentleman to whom this invitation was first extended, so esteemed for his virtues, and admired for his eloquence, found it necessary to decline the duty, which the speaker, relying upon your generous indulgence, will attempt, however inadequately, to perform. But if the remark be just, that "in all exertions of duty something must be hazarded;" that, on occasions and questions involving great public interests and common dangers, the purity of the motive is held to atone for the indiscretion of the deed, and the weakest hand may well be stretched out to defend or sustain truth and right, apologies are unnecessary, perhaps impertinent, in presence of a subject which appals by its magnitude, and demands by its importance, the combined reason and benevolence of the Christian world.
