The Anti-Slavery Examiner, Part 2 of 4

INTRODUCTION
119/154

To use his own expressive words, he "got a terrible scraping wherever he went." He said he could not travel in a stage-coach, or go into a party, or attend a religious meeting, without being attacked.

No one the most remotely connected with the system could have peace there.

He said it was astonishing to see what a feeling was abroad, how mightily the mind of the whole country, peer and priest and peasant, was wrought up.

The national heart seemed on fire.
Mr.A.said, he became a religious man whilst the manager of a slave estate, and when he became a Christian, he became an abolitionist.

Yet this man, while his conscience was accusing him--while he was longing and praying for abolition--did not dare open his mouth in public to urge it on! How many such men are there in our southern states--men who are inwardly cheering on the abolitionist in his devoted work, and yet send up no voice to encourage him, but perhaps are traducing and denouncing him! We received a call at our lodgings in St.John's from the Archdeacon.
