day expecting to be picked up in the street—when the most influential and wealthy were organizing to carry out that most barbarous law—when every species of warfare were waged against us from the most powerful and influential statesman of the Republic to the penny paper writers in every city, town and village;—in the midst of all this, did this professed friend, this hypocrite, this traitor to christianity, to the liberty, to God and humanity not INVITE subordination, to be patient and trust in God. No; none of this. But he justifies the law, and sanctions every act to carry it, by declaring, in the most public manner, that those to whom it relates are a brutified barbarous race, and that their blood will be made to flow in the gutters if they don't submit to it. O what misapplied affections, what disappointed friendship, were ours. What military cheiftain— what robber-pirate—what captain of a bandit, having all power on his side, would condescend thus to taunt his unprotected and defenceless victims? I would ask whether those who suffer or those who inflict outrage, are most brutified and barbarous! Well may the Catholic Archbishops of New York prophecy that catholicism will in fifty years be predominant in this country. And W. W. C. Pennington the only colored D.D. in this country (and he has not yet arrived in it,) say [illegible] (the colored people) are [tending to [illegible]. Well might such [illegible] be [illegible]. A distinguished Senator of the United States, another friend of ours, a free-soil advocate, and in his place in the Senate, when recommending free soil doctrine which if adopted by the government as he recommended, would in a few generations entirely extinguish and annihilate us. We are a barbarous, brutified race, says a distinguished Protestant Divine; hence the reasons for our extremes. If such is the truth, and results of Protestantism, then would to God that we were all Catholics! In fifty years, says the Senator, this policy, this cruel and [illegible], will put to destruction and death the number of blacks now living in this country and who may be permitted to live in it after this. It may be, then, that the learned Archbishops, in classifying cause and effect, see that the [illegible] and persecuted descendants of Africa, [illegible] and [illegible] will of [illegible] and discontented race [illegible], Protestantism, and the [illegible] of Catholicism will then be [illegible] receive them. But whether Catholicism is to become predominant, by the [illegible] of [illegible], or from the loss of the [illegible], Protestantism predict [illegible] murder is not yet explained.
