Popular passagesBrother May, I acknowledge the justice of your reproof. I have been silent too long. Page 156 Why have you not spoken to the nation long ago, as you, better than any other one, could have spoken ? ' " At this point I bethought me to whom I was administering this rebuke, — the man who stood among the highest of the great and good in our land, — the man whose reputation for wisdom... Page 155 I believe, had had his ears so completely unstopped of "prejudice against color " that the cries of enslaved black men and black women sounded to him as if they came from brothers and sisters. He began with expressing deep regret and shame for the zeal he had lately manifested in the Colonization cause. It was, he confessed, a zeal without knowledge. He had been deceived by the misrepresentations so diligently given, throughout the free States by Southern agents, of the design and tendency of the... Page 141 ... piety was practical, whose religion was life-religion, who could not understand or enter into any views of religion which were not practical, it was he. He had borne many sorrows in the course of his protracted pilgrimage, and religion had supported him under them all.

He saw its glories with his eyes, and the more distinctly as... Page 2 ... liberty and friends of humanity. " Never before was I so affected by the speech of man. When he had ceased speaking I said to those around me : ' That is a providential man; he is a prophet; he will shake our nation to its center, but he will shake slavery out of it. We ought to know him, we ought to help him. Come, let us go and give him our hands.' Mr. Sewall and Mr. Alcott went up with me, and we introduced each other. I said to him : ' Mr. Garrison, I am not sure that I can indorse all you... Page 142 He exhibited in graphic sketches and glowing colors the suffering of the enslaved, and denounced the plan of Colonization as devised and adapted to perpetuate the system, and intensify the wrongs of American slavery, and therefore utterly undeserving of the patronage of lovers of liberty and friends of humanity.

Page 142 I am tired of these complaints. The cause of suffering humanity, the cause of our oppressed, crushed colored countrymen, has called as loudly upon others as upon us Abolitionists. It was just as incumbent upon others as upon us to espouse it. We are not to blame that wiser and better men did not espouse it long ago. The cry of millions, suffering the most cruel bondage in our land, had been heard for half a. century and disregarded. - '. The wise and prudent ' saw the terrible wrong, but thought...
