assembly, would reject the good which is offered by the writer to
overcome evil; since the writer affirms that those who are anxious
to speak in this Convention, have nothing to say, which has not

his name and the charges which he has received for the introduction
of the New Heaven.

winter season, A.D. 1858, while I was passing that office, that I was
impressed to enter it. I found there a rich Mulatto with whom I had been
acquainted for years, but who was so chained by the Garrisonian
imposition, that although I walked several times some miles from
Philadelphia to teach him in his house, how our master had decreed to
deliver slaves by co-operation of slaveholders themselves, the rich
Mulatto had never time to study our message of Peace, although he seemed
to burn with great zeal for redeeming slaves, and he and his wife had
superabundance of tim
