Like a cloud that travel* on Steam'd up from Cairo's swamps of pestilence. Even so, my countrymen ! have we gone forth And borne to injur'd tribes slavery and pangs ; And, deadlier far, our vices, whose deep taint With slow perdition murders the whole man, His body and his soul. " Coleridge. Alas, nothing of the kind is visible in all this pamphlet ! It is an indictment, from beginning to end, of a victim- ized and wronged people ! Bishops, presbyters, and lay- men all unite in a dark picturing... of an entire race, almost oblivious of any wrong-doing on their part ! Some of these men are painstaking in the endeavor to show that the difti- culty lies in the inherent nature of the negro ! Poor miserable obtuse creature, he has been to school two hun- dred years ! He has had Bishop Howe's "schoolmaster, " and all his teachings; but he still remains an ignorant, stupid, semi -barbarous animal ! It is the Negro ! the Negro ! And Dr. Tucker, instead of a wail of lamentation at the neglect and outrage which has brought this race to degra- dation, not only ignores all the conspicuous facts of Negro progress since emancipation, but actually enters a gross and exaggerated charge of deterioration against the entire race.
