shadows do we pursue." We revel for a

him for his modesty, his single-heartedVpess,

Several things here are wonhy of

1. His notice of the-condition of

them, that the colored people at the Ncnh
are in so degraded a condition. But re

served the name of friend. Had; he lived
I do not doubt he would have been distin
guished as a man ofuncommon integrity,
of high moral courage, aod as a firm cham
pion in the great cause of human rights.
But he has gone. His name is shrined in
hearts that love him, where it will be kept
as sacred as if graven upon monuments of
Inarble. His .memory is sweet, for no pain
ful recollections cluster around it. He has
not lived in vain. Many a lesson have 1
learned from his mildness of disposition,
his gentleness of manners, and his uncom
mon integrity. But I can write no more,
though my heart is full, and my tears flow,
for him I shall meet on earth no more."

the fact that the abolitionists are strtrin'
to elevate the condition of the colored peo

be any sincerity hi him, he believes liber

abolitionists disagree with him altoge.ikr
and they expect yet to convince the
world that they are right They hold
that liberty is better than slavery, for the
colored man as well as for the white rr.an
