To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Colonization Society, whatever may appear to be its tendency, we are also inclined to suppose, origi- nated in the desire to improve the condition of this afflicted race. The respectable and even distinguished advocates who from time to time have enlisted them- selves beneath its banner, forbid us for a moment to suspect that it was ever premeditated as a means of promoting slavery, or what is the same thing, impeding the advance of abolition. I mean to say, such was not the mutual understa...nding of the spirit of the compact. We cannot, we dare not suppose it, in common justice to our fellow men, to say nothing of the reciprocal exten- sion of Christian charity which such a cause emphati- cally demands. That wicked and designing individuals, unfit for the holy service in which they profess to be engaged, may sometimes sway and swerve it to their own sordid purposes, or that headlong zealots may overstep the bounds of reason, and thereby produce a pernicious reaction upon the objects of the institution, serves but to show that the performance of this hea- venly work is necessarily entrusted to the imperfection of human agency, necessarily subjected to the influence of human passion.
