13 can call his own ; he has no idea of God, of justice, of moral oblig-ation, of the rights of persons or property. In a word, * ' Africa has long- forgotten God and God has abandoned Africa ' ' — but not, I trust, forever. From such a land and such a con- dition — sold, bartered away by his countrymen — the slave was brought to these shores while we were colonists, and subject to British law. Here he is in a civilized and Christian country ; he has more opportunities of enlightenment than he ...would have had in Africa ; he is, as a general rule, treated with kindness ; he is protected from want in sickness and old age ; and is, on the whole, better off, safer, happier, than he would have been in his native country.
2d. But in the second place, with the moral character of the act bringing the slave to this country, we have now nothing to do. We find him here — the thing is done. So far as the slave trade is concerned, we have acted on that, and abolished it. Slavery was introduced in other times and under other auspices.
