The first one appeals to those prejudices against tb. E black man, Avhich they have so industriously and, alas ! so successfully cultivated in you. They hope that, xmder the sway of those strong prejudices, you would rather that the rebellion should triumph, than that the slave should go free. But have you not hated him long enough ? He is denied all right to learning and honors and child and wife and himself and his earnings. And yet his desj^ised black skin covers a heart as warm to all tl>€s...e relations and interests as does your own proud Avhite one. Tell your leaders, I beseech you — your tempters and seducers — that their appeal to your hatred of the negro will be vain. Tell them that he has suffered long enough ; that you have hated and wronged him long enough ; and that you are more disposed to repent of your part in crushing him than to persist in it. Tell them, in a word, that you have come to believe more in your obligation to honor* God and all the varieties of the human fimily than in your obligation to serve ambitious and greedy demagogues.
