WORDS OF SYMPATHY FROM ABROAD.—The
following is an extract from a letter received
from the Rev. Dr. CROFTS, England. It shows
in what light a Doctor of Divinity views the
twin abominations of slavery and negro hate
in America. We thank Dr. CROFTS for the
assurance of his sympathy, and hope often to
receive his earnest words in behalf of our
enslaved people.

"Though not acquainted with your bodily
presence, I have long known you through the
medium of your excellent paper, and from the
representations of our mutual friend, Miss Griffiths. The struggle in which you are engaged
for the benefit of the colored portion of our
race, has long had my heartfelt sympathy; and
both my tongue and pen have been employed
in their behalf on both sides of the Atlantic—Having spent twelve years in Canada, I am well
acquainted with the heavy disabilities which lie
on the colored people in the States; but as
surely as GOD IS, they will be removed. The
Israelites long endured the cruel bondage of the
Pharaohs; but at length God arose in his might
and majesty, and came down to their help, and
speedily delivered them to the utter confusion
and ruin of their cruel tormentors. What
means God will ultimately use to liberate our
brethren who are in bonds, we know not; but
this we are well assured of, that the circulation
of knowledge concerning the cruelties of slave
holders, and the miseries of the slaves, is one
great means of awakening the sympathies, arousing the energies, and calling forth the prayers and gifts of God's people, in all lands, on behalf of the down-trodden children of Africa.—Go on in your glorious work of pleading the claims of the slave, and we will do all we can to help you on this side of the Atlantic."
