Excerpt from An Address, Delivered Before the Free People of Color, in Philadelphia, New-York: And Other Cities, During the Month of June, 1831
The following Address was written in great haste, and without the remotest expectation of its being published in its present shape. My colored brethren, in the various cities, having solicited its publication, I cheerfully comply with their request; believing that the matter is solid, and the advice worthy to be treasured up in every heart.
It is not probable that I shall be able to satisfy the great body of the people of my own color, otherwise than by entirely abandoning the cause of emancipation. They who do not hesitate to call me a madman, a fanatic, a disturber of the peace, a promoter of rebellion, - among other charitable epithets, - for vindicating the rights of the slaves, will naturally be offended if I presume to stand up in behalf of the free people of color, or to address them on a subject appertaining to their welfare. I am determined, nevertheless, to give slaveholders and their apologists as much uneasiness as possible. They shall hear me, and of me, and from me, in a tone and with a frequency that shall make them tremble. There shall be no neutrals: men shall either like or dislike me.
