pointed orator of the Colonization Society,"
first in profession and in holy authority,

and prayers, and the public generally, the ut


ter impossibility Of our coloured population


ever becoming any thing in this country-such


is the state of prejudice against them that they


must be oppressed, degraded and afflicted as

actually removing every incentive to virtue, to


industry, to Improvement, and to enterIrls


and paralizing all our honest endeavonrs.-

Shall we see all our good advice and prayers


and efforts to improve our children, whom we
dearly love, and whom we promise ,ailev iation


and respect, as reward of their good conduct


and advancement in education, rendered fruit
less by the false doctrine Of these religious


politicians, and not endeavour to counteract


its banelul influence Sooner let our RI hi


hands forget their cunning, and our tongues
cleave to the roof Of our mouths.
