EXTRACT FROM AN ADDRESS DELIVERED AT THE ANNUAL MEETING OF THE AMERICAN MISSIONARY ASSOCIATION.

BY HON.  FREDERICK DOUGLASS.

I esteem it an honor to have been invited to speak a word in this presence upon this very interesting occasion.  I am here, however, not so much to deliver an address, or to make a speech, as to put myself on record.  I am here to pay a debt long due.  I have wished, by my presence here, to emphasize my gratitude to the members and friends of this Association for the beneficent work which they have done, and which they are still doing, for the people with whom I am identified.  I would not disparage the labors of any other organization in this direction inside of the church.  I am thankful to all such, but I know of none to which the colored people of the Southern States are more indebted for effective service than to this American Missionary Association.
