slave-holders come to beat us from our country.  America is more our country, than it is the whites—­we have enriched it with our blood and tears.  The greatest riches in all America have arisen from our blood and tears:—­and will they drive us from our property and homes, which we have earned with our blood?  They must look sharp or this very thing will bring swift destruction upon them.  The Americans have got so fat upon our blood and groans, that they have almost forgotten the God of armies.  But let them go on.

How cunning slave-holders think they are!!!!—­How much like the king of Egypt, who after he saw plainly that God was determined to bring out his people, in spite of him and his, as powerful as they were.  He was willing that Moses, Aaron and the Elders of Israel, but not all the people should go and serve the Lord.  But God deceived him as he will christian Americans, unless they are very cautious how they move.  What would have become of the United States of America, was it not for those among the whites, who not in words barely, but in truth and in deed, love and fear the Lord Our Lord and Master said:—­[26]

“Whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depths of the sea.”

But the Americans with this very threatening of the Lord’s, not only beat his little ones among the Africans, but many of them they put to death or murder.  Now the avaricious Americans think that the Lord Jesus Christ will let them off, because his words are no more than the words of a man!  In fact, many of them are so avaricious and ignorant that they do not believe in our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.  Tyrants may think they are so skilful in State affairs is the reason that the government is preserved.  But I tell you, that this country would have been given up long ago, was it not for the lovers of the Lord.  They are indeed, the salt of the earth.  Remove the people of God among the whites, from this land of blood, and it will stand until they cleverly get out of the way.  I adopt the language of the Rev. S.E.  Cornish, of N. York, editor of the Rights of All, and say: 

“Any colored man of common intelligence who gives his countenance and influence to that colony further than its missionary object and interest extend, should be considered as a traitor to his brethren, and discarded by every respectable man of colour:  and every member of that society, however pure his motive, whatever may be his religious character and moral worth, should in his efforts to remove the coloured population from their rightful soil, the land of their birth and nativity, be considered as acting gratuitously unrighteous and cruel.”

Let me make an appeal brethren, to your hearts, for your cordial co-operation in the circulation of “The Rights of All,” among us.  The utility of
