Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Designed to Exhibit the Real Character and Tendency of the American Colonization Society Within the last few years the attention of all parties has been increasingly directed to the subject of Negro Slavery, and the certainty of its speedy abolition in our colonies has either been cheerfully welcomed, or reluctantly admitted. Those humane persons who commenced their career of benevolence by seeking the amelioration and gradual extinction of slavery, have been so thoroughly convinced of its incorrigible nature and of the claims of the negro, as now to demand nothing short of the total annihilation of the system at the earliest period compatible with the safety of all parties concerned; while those who, a few years since, deprecated the slightest interference with their property and vested rights, and loudly contended that the slaves were contented and happy, now acknowledge that slavery is an evil, and plead not for its perpetuity, but for its gradual termination. Hence, many schemes have been devised, and many ameliorating measures have been discussed, the adoption of which are recommended with a view to the ultimate abolition of Colonial slavery. A somewhat similar movement has been made in the United States; - a slave population, rapidly increasing, and at present amounting to more than two millions, has awakened the fears, if it has not appealed to the justice, of the slave-holders, and the conviction has gradually attained possession of their minds, that the victims of their cupidity cannot long be retained in their present unnatural position with safety to the commonwealth.
