The question how proposed, refers not
only to the blacks who are now held in
bondage iu the slave-holding States, but
also to all the free peraons of color scat
tered through the length and breadth of
our country, from Maine to Florida, and
from the Atlantic Ocean to the Rockv
Mountains. It is a question which con
cerns every member of our extended com-
iversally ( desecrated, and employed far , '
the won tof purposes. .
. Again, no intelectual or moral qualifi-!
cation can give the negro a place jln soci
ety, or obtain for him a share in the civil,
literary, or social privileges of our country.
His exclusion from these depends on an
other circumstance than that of character
a circumstance, which as it wa extirrly
beyond his control, so it is unchangeable
and will forever operate. This circum- ,
stance is he is a black man. tie has -
