1. Charles Carrol Harper, Son of General Harper, to the
voters of Baltimore, 1826. Af. Repy., vol. 2. page 188. For
several years the subject of Abolition of Slavery has been
brought before you. I am decidedly opposed to the project
recommended. No scheme of abolition will meet my support,
that leaves the emancipated blacks among us. Experience has
proved that they become a corrupt and degraded class, as
burthensome to themselves, as they are hurtful to the rest
of society.

Again, page 189, "To permit the blacks to remain amongst us
after their emancipation, would be to aggravate, and not to
cure the evil."

2. Extracted with approbation from the Public Ledger,
Richmond, Indiana, Af. Repy., vol. 3. page 26. "We would say,
liberate them only on condition of their going to Africa or
Hayti."

3. Extracts from an address delivered at Springfield, before
the Hamden Col. Society, July 4th, 1828. By Wm. B. O.
Peabody, Esq. published by request of the Society. Af. Repy.,
vol. 4. page 226. "I am not complaining of the owners of
Slaves; they cannot get rid of them; it would be as humane to
throw them from the decks in the middle passage, as to set
them free in our country." Upon which the following eulogy is
pronounced, page 230. "We need hardly say that Mr. Peabody's
address is an excellent one. May its spirit universally
pervade and animate the minds of our countrymen.

4. Extracts from an Address to the Col. Socy. of Kentucky, at
Frankfort, Dec. 17th., 1829, by the Hon. Henry Clay. Af.
Repy., vol. 6, page 5. "If the question were submitted,
whether there should be immediate or gradual emancipation of
all the slaves in the United States, without their removal or
colonization, painful as it is to express the opinion, I have
no doubt it would be unwise to emancipate them. For I believe
that the aggregate of the evils which would be engendered in
Society, upon the supposition of such general emancipation,
and of the liberated slaves remaining promiscuously among us,
would be greater than all the evils of Slavery, great as they
unquestionably are."

Again, page 12. "Is there no remedy, I again ask, for the
evils of which I have sketched a faint and imperfect picture?
Is our posterity doomed to endure forever, not only all the
ills flowing from the state of Sla
