of Asia to be body servants to them?  They know they would get their bodies rent and torn from head to foot.  Why do they not get the Aboriginies of this country to be slaves to them and their children, to work their farms and dig their mines?  They know well that the Aboriginies of this country, (or Indians) would tear them from the earth.  The Indians would not rest day or night, they would be up all times of night, cutting their cruel throats.  But my colour, (some, not all,) are willing to stand still and be murdered by the cruel whites.  In some of the West-India Islands, and over a large part of South America, there are six or eight coloured persons for one white.  Why do they not take possession of those places?  Who hinders them? it is not the avaricious whites—­for they are too busily engaged in laying up money—­derived from the blood and tears of the blacks.  The fact is they are too servile, they love to have Masters too well!!!!!!  Some of our brethren, too, who seeking more after self aggrandizement, than the glory of God, and the welfare of their brethren, join in with our oppressors, to ridicule and say all manner of evils falsely against our Bishop.  They think, that they are doing great things, when they get in company with the whites, to ridicule and make sport of those who are labouring for their good.  Poor ignorant creatures, they do not know that the sole aim and object of the whites, are only to make fools and slaves of them and put the whip to them, and make them work to support them and their families.  But I do say, that no man can well be a despiser of Bishop Allen, for his public labors among us, unless he is a despiser of God and Righteousness.  Thus, we see, my brethren, the two very opposite positions of those great men, who have written respecting this “Colonizing Plan,” (Mr. Clay and his slave holding party,) men who are resolved to keep us in eternal wretchedness, are also bent upon sending us to Liberia.  While the Reverend Bishop Allen, and his party, men who have the fear of God, and the welfare of their brethren at heart.  The Bishop in particular, whose labors for the salvation of his brethren, are well known to a large part of those, who dwell in the United States, are completely opposed to the plan—­and advise us to stay where we are.  Now we have to determine whose advice we will take respecting this all important matter, whether we will adhere to Mr. Clay and his slave-holding party, who have always been our oppressors and murderers, and who are for colonizing us, more through apprehension than humanity, or to this godly man who has done so much for our benefit, together with the advice of all the good and wise among us and the whites.  Will any of us leave our homes and go to Africa?  I hope not.[25] Let them commence their attack upon us as they did on our brethren in Ohio, driving and beating us from our country, and my soul for theirs, they will have enough of it.  Let no man of us budge one step, and let
