'No possible contingency can ever break down or weaken the
impassable barrier which at present separates the whites from
social communion with the blacks. Neither education, nor wealth,
nor any other means of distinction known to our communities, can
elevate blacks to a level with whites, in the United

'To attain solid happiness and permanent respectability, they
should now remove to a more congenial clime.... To raise them to
a level with the whites is AN IMPOSSIBILITY.'--[New-Haven
Religious Intelligencer.]

'In Liberia--the land of their forefathers, they will be
restored to real freedom, which they have never yet enjoyed, and
which it is folly for them to expect they can ever enjoy among
the whites.'--[Norfolk Herald.]

'My bowels, my bowels! I am pained at my very heart; my heart maketh a
noise in me.' Are we pagans, are we savages, are we devils? Can pagans,
or savages, or devils, exhibit a more implacable spirit, than is seen in
the f
