It was the dictate of an accusing conscience, that foretold of bloodshed, and burning, and devastation.

Can it be supposed to be an accidental circumstance, that peace and good-will have _uniformly_, in _all_ the colonies, followed the steps of emancipation.

Is it not rather the broad seal of attestation to that heaven born principle, "It is safe to do right." Dear brother, if you or any other friend to down trodden humanity, have any lingering fear that the blaze of light which is now going forth from the islands will ever be quenched, even for a moment, dismiss that fear.

The light, instead of growing dim, will continue to brighten.

Your prayers for the safe and happy introduction of freedom, upon a soil long trodden by the foot of slavery, may be turned into praises--for the event has come to pass.
When shall we be able to rejoice in such a consummation in our beloved America?
How I long to see a deputation of slaveholders making the tour of these islands.
