Thus far they have done as near right and justice as they could afford to. The next step would interfere with the interests of the country ; it would require a sacrifice of gain and luxury that they could not afford the generosity and respect for the rights of others to make. Accord- ingly they have done nothing since but 'gag' the people, and declare that they would do nothing more.
It is worthy of remark, that the American vessels sent out in 1819 to put a stop to the slave trade, have not ta...ken a single slaver. Why is this? While the English vessels have been constantly taking sla- vers, the Americans have taken none. Have they leagued with the pirates, and winked at their wrong doing ?
2. Societies have been formed from time to time for the purpose of bettering the condition of the slave, or of "securing" to him "the blessings of liberty. " In 1785 there was an Abolition Society formed in New- York. The Hon. John Jay, afterwards Judge of the Supreme Court, was presi- dent. The object of the society was to " promote the manumission of slaves, and to protect such of them as have been or may be libe- rated.
