Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Letter to W. E. Channing, D. D: On the Subject of the Abuse of the Flag of the United States in the Island of Cuba, and the Advantage Taken of Its Protection in Promoting the Slave Trade My dear Sir: - The subject of this letter is one of such importance, the necessity for entering on it so urgent, and the task of performing it so painful, that, were it possible to distinguish men from measures, and to serve the cause of truth and justice without wounding the feelings of individuals, however adverse to both, I would sit down to address you with more alacrity, and would hope to attain my object without exciting a suspicion that the conduct of an unpopular man has been mistaken or misrepresented by me. Feeling strongly as I do on the subject of this letter, perhaps I may express myself strongly, and I fear it might be harshly, were I less fully impressed with the calmness of that mental composure, that patient spirit of philosophical research, - that clear, cold, pellucid expression of well examined thoughts, and moderated opinions, which so eminently characterize your judgments, and distinguish the communication of your sentiments. Were it otherwise, I might find it difficult, I confess, to restrain my feelings, and yet have to speak of great wrongs committed with impunity against humanity. As it is, I hope in addressing myself to your reason, to execute my task, to direct your attention to that scandalous abuse of the flag of your country, which has been flagrantly connived at by the Consul of the United States in Cuba, and the result of which has been to give a new impetus to the illegal traffic in human beings, and to render it impossible for the efforts of the British Government for the suppression of this traffic, to be carried into successful execution.
