II. It has been the means of securing the emancipation of hundreds of slaves, in various parts of the United States, who are now in a genial climate, enjoying the luxury of free dom with all its attendant blessings; and, from the present disposition of the citizens of some, of the slave states, particularly Virginia, there is no doubt that thousands will be emancipa ted, as fast as means of transportation can be procured.
III. It has commenced spreading the bless ings of civilization, morals, and religion among the natives in the neighbourhood of the colony, whom it has taught to depend on honest industry in the cultivation of the soil, instead of the demoniac operation of setting fire to towns and villages, for the horrible purpose of seizing the wretched fugitives fly ing from the flames, which was their former occupation.
Now I freely appeal to Mr. Garrison, and Mr. Lundy, the most formidable opposers of colonization, and to their friends, and beg them to lay their hands On their hearts, and answer in the presence of their Maker, if any one of those objects does not repay ten fold the sacrifice which the whole have cost?
