Gentemen-My heart is daily panied to behold
the inactivity which exists among the colored
young men of this city. They seem to think, if
we are to Judge by their actions and actions 81 eak
louder than words sometimes, that they have on
ly been created to be the hewers of wood and
drawers OF Water-as some of those saw, who
would have us believe that God never intended
US to be any more than beasts of burden, and on
ly gave US birth in this Christian land, in order
that they who are fairer in complexion, (but. in
my opinion, no fairer in the sight of God } might
have an opportunity of showing their philanthropy
and Christian feeling towards us, by sending us
some thousands of miles across the Atlantic to
country unknown to us, that there we NAV be
kings and princes. But let me say to all such
ARISE and shake off the lethargy which you have
SO long suffered to enthral you-the spirits of our
fathers call upon US to arouse from our inactivity
the sutterlngs of nearly three millions of slaves,
urge us to more united action, that our opposers
may see that we are capable of, and ought TO en-
Joy, all the rights and privileges which cd, in the
plentude OF his wisdom, intended for mankind


injuries and insults received from day to day,
warn us to move in our might, and act the part of
lreemen, not Of serts. Justice, honor and interest
with one voice demand that we should no longer
slt with folded arms and eyes closed to the pain
iul TACT That our enemies are secretly planning
destruction. Justice, humanity and love to our
country and to our God call on us to come forth
from the degraded position we have too long oc-
cupled. The question may be asked, what can
we 90 towards ameliorating our condition? Some
may answer, we can do nothing-the power is in
the hands of our opposers. But would say let
us try what we can do, let our watchword be to
try before we despair f3
