Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Letter to Wm; E. Channing, D. D: In Reply to One Addressed to Him by R. R, Madden on the Abuse of the Flag of the United States in the Island of Cuba, for Promoting the Slave Trade Sir, A pamphlet published at Boston, by a Dr. R. R. Madden, has recently been put into my hands. It is called "A Letter 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;" and being addressed to you, it certainly will engage public attention, although it is not what it professes to be, but really a malignant attack on N. P. Trist, American Consul at Havana; probably intended rather to gratify the bitterness and bad feeling of its author against that gentleman, than to further the interests of humanity. Still Dr. Madden, seeming to think that it may call forth some remarks from you; and I being convinced that nothing would induce you to engage in a personal contest, or write in an unchristian spirit; I do hope, that the important subject of which the Dr. affects to treat, will be brought by you before the people of the United States; and that you, whom an eminent British Philanthropist has designated "the most eloquent writer of America," will employ your mighty pen to enlist the feelings of all our fellow citizens against a Trade, in which, I am sorry to confess, some of them are still engaged, though not either in the number, or to the extent, that Dr. Madden pretends. In doing so, you will not, I am satisfied, enter upon the question on the ex-parte evidence of Dr. Madden, who is evidently either a zealot or a hypocrite. I would fain believe him the former, but he is more likely both; for it is a fact, that these characters are often blended. You will on the contrary draw materials from purer sources, and be satisfied of the truth of your premises before you proceed to inferences. To assist you in this object, I would take leave to pass in review the statements which Dr. Madden has made; and I would add some facts relative to the Slave Trade, which, as a quiet observer, long sojourning in this Island, I have been able to collect.
