eference to those eternal principles of justice and
truth, which are alike in all countries and in all ages, and which the
subjects of God's moral government are everywhere bound to respect. He
would say to America and to England, silence your cry of foreign
interference, or call home your Missionaries from India, and China,
and Constantinople. To shew that the object of his mission was in
accordance with the spirit of the gospel, he would read an extract
from an article in the first number of the "_Abolitionist_," the organ
of "The British and Foreign Society for the Universal Abolition of
Slavery and the Slave Trade"--a Society with which he was connected
when he went to America, and whose Agent he still was. The objects of
his mission were thus set forth:

"1. To lecture in the principal cities and towns of the free
States, upon the character, guilt, and tendency of slavery,
and the duty, necessity, and advantages of immediate and
entire abolition. These addresses will be founded upon those
great principles of humanity and religion, which have been so
fully enunciated in this country, and will consequently be
wholly unconnected with particular and local politics. This
work will be carried on under the advice and with the
co-operation of the Anti-Slavery Societies at present in
existence in the United States.

2. To aim, by every Christian means, at the overthrow of that
prejudice against the colored classes, which now so
lamentably prevails through all the States of America; and to
regard as a principal mean to obtain this desirable object,
their elevation in intellect and moral worth.

3. To suggest to the friends of negro freedom in the United
States the adoption and prosecution of such measures as were
found conducive to the cause of abolition in this country,
and may be found applicable to existing circumstances in
that.

4. To seek access to influential persons of various religious
denominations, and especially to ministers of the gospel, for
the purpose of explanatory conversation on the subjects of
slavery and prejudice.

5. To endeavor to effect a junction between the abolitionists
of the United States of America and great Britain, with a
view to the abolition of slavery and the slave trade
throughout the world."
