In all probability, Moses would have become Prince Regent to the throne, and no doubt, in process of time but he would have been seated on the throne of Egypt.  But he had rather suffer shame, with the people of God, than to enjoy pleasures with that wicked people for a season.  O! that the colored people were long since of Moses’ excellent disposition, instead of courting favor with, and telling news and lies to our natural enemies, against each other—­aiding them to keep their hellish chains of slavery upon us.  Would we not long before this time, have been respectable men, instead of such wretched victims of oppression as we are?  Would they be able to drag our mothers, our fathers, our wives, our children and ourselves, around the world in chains and hand-cuffs as they do, to dig up gold and silver for them and theirs?  This question, my brethren, I leave for you to digest; and may God Almighty force it home to your hearts.  Remember that unless you are united, keeping your tongues within your teeth, you will be afraid to trust your secrets to each other, and thus perpetuate our miseries under the christians!!!!! [Hand->] ADDITION,—­Remember, also to lay humble at the feet of our Lord and Master Jesus Christ, with prayers and fastings.  Let our enemies go on with their butcheries, and at once fill up their cup.  Never make an attempt to gain our freedom or natural right, from under our cruel oppressors and murderers, until you see your way clear; when that hour arrives and you move, be not afraid or dismayed; for be you assured that Jesus Christ the king of heaven and of earth who is the God of justice and of armies, will surely go before you.  And those enemies who have for hundreds of years stolen our rights, and kept us ignorant of Him and His divine worship, he will remove.  Millions of whom, are this day, so ignorant and avaricious, that they cannot conceive how God can have an attribute of justice, and show mercy to us because it pleased Him to make us black—­which color, Mr. Jefferson calls unfortunate!!!!!!  As though we are not as thankful to our God for having made us as it pleased himself, as they (the whites) are for having made them white.  They think because they hold us in their infernal chains of slavery that we wish to be white, or of their color—­but they are dreadfully deceived—­we wish to be just as it pleased our Creator to have made us, and no avaricious and unmerciful wretches, have any business to make slaves of or hold us in slavery.  How would they like for us to make slaves of, or hold them in cruel slavery, and murder them as they do us?  But is Mr. Jefferson’s assertion true? viz. “that it is unfortunate for us that our Creator has been pleased to make us black.”  We will not take his say so, for the fact.  The world will have an opportunity to see whether it is unfortunate for us, that our Creator has made us darker than the whites.

Fear not the number and education of our enemies, against whom we shall have to contend for our lawful right; guaranteed to us by our Maker; for why should we be afraid, when God is, and will continue (if we continue humble) to be on our side?
