Excerpt from The African Repository, and Colonial Journal, Vol. 6: October, 1830
This Address is one of the most interesting and impressive which has appeared in relation to the design and efforts of our Society. All who have the privilege of an acquaintance with its author will here recognize, at once, the traces of his clear and unperverted judgment, othis ardent and philanthropic feelings. \ve hope the Managers of the Society to which this Address was delivered, will give it an extensive circulation, and that it will powerfully contribute to increase the attachment and liber ality manifested by the citizens of Tennessee, towards the cause of African Colonization. Some passages which had our limits allowed we would gladly have retained, are omitted,bnt as they relate principally to the horrors of the slave trade and the con dition of our free people of colour, (with which most of our readers must be familiar) we have thought a few of them might be passed over withoutdiminishing materially the general effect of the Address.
