ltae people OF color" We are perfectly
aware that some excellent. things have
been done for US; we know that some have
done well and nobly, and they shall always
have the .warmest gratitude of our hearts;
and such men as Garrison, Smiih, Tappen.
Love]oy, and some others, which we could
mention, who have endured much for the
cause OF God. humanity and truth, shall
be held in grateful aud lasting relnem-
brance, by our children's children. while
the remembrance of others who would
aspire to the same honor, shall pass away,
like the early dew before the rising sun;
and here we consider i. proper to say, that
when wespeak ofthe consis,encies of abo-
Iitionists, we always mean to except such
as we have named above, who have ever
stood foremost and firm in the support of
the cause of the slave.


But again, the editor says: g We do not
hesitate to say, that that paper is conduct
ed and supported, mainly by an,i-aboli-
uonlsts and colOniza,ionists. Now we
challenge the STAR 10 deny it," We
should really think that one who is so.
quick TO discover what is " understandable,
unjust, untrue and malignant" in others,
would hesitate" some, before asserting as
true, things of which he is as entirely ig-
norant as a Mahometan; and although we
know him to be man of deep research
and profound knowledge, Of astonishing
parts and. clear understanding, yet,
g we do not hesitate to say" that he mas
uttered things positively false. Our paper
is published by an associatian of colored
persons, and the editorial has always been.
conducted by coLoREp MEN. We are
supported by persons of all parties, aboli-
tIonists, colonizationists, democrats and
wings. We pursue the even tenor of our
way, unintimidated by threats, unmoved
by tlattery, thankful for the smallest favors,
and confident Of success, we do not intend
to be eaten up Of zeal, nor run before we
are sent. We have no connexion with
the colonization or any other party. We
have heard abolitionists say that the spirit
of colonization was dead, and if they say
nothing "untrue and malignant" why is
it that we have twice been accused of sup
porting that system. Certainly, if the spirit
be dead, what is there to fear. The body
can effect nothing; and what under Heaven,
can re-create, or bring into existence, that
which is annihilated.


Now, if we are the "mere tool of colo
niza.ion advocates, and abolition haters,
the mere cats paws of those who despise
u.s." as the editor does not "hesitate"
to call US, the most ehectual means which
he can use to destroy us, will be to pro-
claim our denial of these things, through
the columns Of The Iocsin and if we are
+" mainly supported by colonizationists and
abolition haters," we must certainly fail.


What more is wanting to prove the
colonization character of our paper
=" How truly lamentable it is, that colored
men can" see as far in the millstone as they
who pick it. "WeIl done for the abe
litonism of the Star" Certainly a blind
man can see none in it; "and we nave
only TO ask once more of our coIored tel-
Iow-ci,izens, if they will sustain" STAR,
in preference to Tocsin'.
