Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Speech Before an Auxiliary of the American Colonization Society: Utica, January 13, 1834
Far be from me any accusation against my white fellow citi zens. I am stating facts of which I may be as guilty as any other man. I merely show that men thus situated are as effectually coerced to yield their assent to transportation, as the poor wretch on the wheel of torture yields his assent to be executed. Believing this, I say we act fallaciously when we soothe our consciences towards African colonization, by say ing that we colonize none but those who assent to be trans ported.
