Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from African Colonization and Christian Missions The odium theologicum has long been a by-word with moralists, and an opprobrium and stumbling-block with unbelievers. We bold, however, that it is as honey to gall when compared with political virulence, and that, indeed, it is ordinarily and truly but an offshoot, or else constituent part, of the latter. So it came to pass that jaundiced eyes were immediately turned upon the founders of the Society and all connected with it, although it was also at once indorsed by many most prominent and influential public men. It was directly concerned with Africans, and thus with slavery; and when this is written the whole tale is told, for upon this subject we all understand that the whole great American people have for some fifty years been either demented or else, in the righteous providence of God, for wise and gracious purposes, given over to wild delusions. Nations have their personal religious experience as well as individuals. Let us hope that the infatuation has passed away, and that speedily affliction will have wrought its proper work, and that all this mighty nation will awake to righteousness, gird its loins, and go about its heaven appointed work of conveying the light of Christian civilization to the great continents on its right-hand and left. One singular misconception, prevailing from the start until this very day, and, because of its bearing upon the productive ability and hence financial interests of the nation at large, adapted to arouse insidious and deeply self-interested opposition to the colonization scheme, is the idea that its advocates wish and intend to transport the vast African population of the United States to its original seat. President Dew, of William and Mary College, published an exceedingly interesting, well-written, and powerful pamphlet against the Society, based upon this view. I read it, twenty odd years since, on one of the old-time, magnificent packets between New Orleans and Nashville, being kindly favored with its use by a planter.
