Fortunate, most fortunate occurrence!—fortunate for the millions of his manacled brethren, yet panting for deliverance from their awful thraldom5!—fortunate for the cause of negro emancipation6, and of universal liberty!—fortunate for the land of his birth, which he has already done so much to save and bless!—fortunate for a large circle of friends and acquaintances, whose sympathy and affection he has strongly secured by the many sufferings he has endured, by his virtuous7 traits of character, by his ever-abiding remembrance of those who are in bonds, as being bound with them!—fortunate for the multitudes, in various parts of our republic, whose minds he has enlightened on the subject of slavery, and who have been melted to tears by his pathos8, or roused to virtuous indignation by his stirring eloquence9 against the enslavers of men!—fortunate for himself, as it at once brought him into the field of public usefulness, "gave the world assurance of a MAN," quickened the slumbering10 energies of his soul, and consecrated11 him to the great work of breaking the rod of the oppressor, and letting the oppressed go free!
I shall never forget his first speech at the convention—the extraordinary emotion it excited in my own mind—the powerful impression it created upon a crowded auditory, completely taken by surprise—the applause which followed from the beginning to the end of his felicitous13 remarks. I think I never hated slavery so intensely as at that moment; certainly, my perception of the enormous outrage14 which is inflicted15 by it, on the godlike nature of its victims, was rendered far more clear than ever. There stood one, in physical proportion and stature16 commanding and exact—in intellect richly endowed—in natural eloquence a prodigy—in soul manifestly "created but a little lower than the angels"—yet a slave, ay, a fugitive17 slave,—trembling for his safety, hardly daring to believe that on the American soil, a single white person could be found who would befriend him at all hazards, for the love of God and humanity! Capable of high attainments18 as an intellectual and moral being—needing nothing but a comparatively small amount of cultivation20 to make him an ornament21 to society and a blessing22 to his race—by the law of the land, by the voice of the people, by the terms of the slave code, he was only a piece of property, a beast of burden, a chattel23 personal, nevertheless!
A beloved friend from New Bedford prevailed on Mr. Douglass to address the convention: He came forward to the platform with a hesitancy and embarrassment24, necessarily the attendants of a sensitive mind in such a novel position. After apologizing for his ignorance, and reminding the audience that slavery was a poor school for the human intellect and heart, he proceeded to narrate25 some of the facts in his own history as a slave, and in the course of his speech gave utterance26 to many noble thoughts and thrilling reflections. As soon as he had taken his seat, filled with hope and admiration27, I rose, and declared that Patrick Henry, of revolutionary fame, never made a speech more eloquent28 in the cause of liberty, than the one we had just listened to from the lips of that hunted fugitive. So I believed at that time—such is my belief now. I reminded the audience of the peril29 which surrounded this self-emancipated young man at the North,—even in Massachusetts, on the soil of the Pilgrim Fathers, among the descendants of revolutionary sires; and I appealed to them, whether they would ever allow him to be carried back into slavery,—law or no law, constitution or no constitution. The response was unanimous and in thunder-tones—"NO!" "Will you succor30 and protect him as a brother-man—a resident of the old Bay State?" "YES!" shouted the whole mass, with an energy so startling, that the ruthless tyrants31 south of Mason and Dixon's line might almost have heard the mighty32 burst of feeling, and recognized it as the pledge of an invincible33 determination, on the part of those who gave it, never to betray him that wanders, but to hide the outcast, and firmly to abide34 the consequences.
It was at once deeply impressed upon my mind, that, if Mr. Douglass could be persuaded to consecrate12 his time and talents to the promotion35 of the anti-slavery enterprise, a powerful impetus36 would be given to it, and a stunning37 blow at the same time inflicted on northern prejudice against a colored complexion38. I therefore endeavored to instil39 hope and courage into his mind, in order that he might dare to engage in a vocation40 so anomalous41 and responsible for a person in his situation; and I was seconded in this effort by warm-hearted friends, especially by the late General Agent of the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society, Mr. John A. Collins, whose judgment42 in this instance entirely43 coincided with my own. At first, he could give no encouragement; with unfeigned diffidence, he expressed his conviction that he was not adequate to the performance of so great a task; the path marked out was wholly an untrodden one; he was sincerely apprehensive44 that he should do more harm than good. After much deliberation, however, he consented to make a trial; and ever since that period, he has acted as a lecturing agent, under the auspices45 either of the American or the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society. In labors47 he has been most abundant; and his success in combating prejudice, in gaining proselytes, in agitating48 the public mind, has far surpassed the most sanguine49 expectations that were raised at the commencement of his brilliant career. He has borne himself with gentleness and meekness50, yet with true manliness51 of character. As a public speaker, he excels in pathos, wit, comparison, imitation, strength of reasoning, and fluency52 of language. There is in him that union of head and heart, which is indispensable to an enlightenment of the heads and a winning of the hearts of others. May his strength continue to be equal to his day! May he continue to "grow in grace, and in the knowledge of God," that he may be increasingly serviceable in the cause of bleeding humanity, whether at home or abroad!
It is certainly a very remarkable53 fact, that one of the most efficient advocates of the slave population, now before the public, is a fugitive slave, in the person of Frederick Douglass; and that the free colored population of the United States are as ably represented by one of their own number, in the person of Charles Lenox Remond, whose eloquent appeals have extorted54 the highest applause of multitudes on both sides of the Atlantic. Let the calumniators of the colored race despise themselves for their baseness and illiberality55 of spirit, and henceforth cease to talk of the natural inferiority of those who require nothing but time and opportunity to attain19 to the highest point of human excellence56.
It may, perhaps, be fairly questioned, whether any other portion of the population of the earth could have endured the privations, sufferings and horrors of slavery, without having become more degraded in the scale of humanity than the slaves of African descent. Nothing has been left undone57 to cripple their intellects, darken their minds, debase their moral nature, obliterate58 all traces of their relationship to mankind; and yet how wonderfully they have sustained the mighty load of a most frightful59 bondage, under which they have been groaning60 for centuries! To illustrate61 the effect of slavery on the white man,—to show that he has no powers of endurance, in such a condition, superior to those of his black brother,—Daniel O'connell, the distinguished62 advocate of universal emancipation, and the mightiest63 champion of prostrate64 but not conquered Ireland, relates the following anecdote65 in a speech delivered by him in the Conciliation66 Hall, Dublin, before the Loyal National Repeal67 Association, March 31, 1845. "No matter," said Mr. O'connell, "under what specious68 term it may disguise itself, slavery is still hideous69. It has a natural, an inevitable70 tendency to brutalize every noble faculty71 of man. An American sailor, who was cast away on the shore of Africa, where he was kept in slavery for three years, was, at the expiration72 of that period, found to be imbruted and stultified—he had lost all reasoning power; and having forgotten his native language, could only utter some savage74 gibberish between Arabic and English, which nobody could understand, and which even he himself found difficulty in pronouncing. So much for the humanizing influence of The Domestic Institution!" Admitting this to have been an extraordinary case of mental deterioration75, it proves at least that the white slave can sink as low in the scale of humanity as the black one.
Mr. Douglass has very properly chosen to write his own Narrative, in his own style, and according to the best of his ability, rather than to employ some one else. It is, therefore, entirely his own production; and, considering how long and dark was the career he had to run as a slave,—how few have been his opportunities to improve his mind since he broke his iron fetters,—it is, in my judgment, highly creditable to his head and heart. He who can peruse76 it without a tearful eye, a heaving breast, an afflicted77 spirit,—without being filled with an unutterable abhorrence78 of slavery and all its abettors, and animated79 with a determination to seek the immediate80 overthrow81 of that execrable system,—without trembling for the fate of this country in the hands of a righteous God, who is ever on the side of the oppressed, and whose arm is not shortened that it cannot save,—must have a flinty heart, and be qualified82 to act the part of a trafficker "in slaves and the souls of men." I am confident that it is essentially83 true in all its statements; that nothing has been set down in malice84, nothing exaggerated, nothing drawn85 from the imagination; that it comes short of the reality, rather than overstates a single fact in regard to slavery as it is. The experience of Frederick Douglass, as a slave, was not a peculiar86 one; his lot was not especially a hard one; his case may be regarded as a very fair specimen87 of the treatment of slaves in Maryland, in which State it is conceded that they are better fed and less cruelly treated than in Georgia, Alabama, or Louisiana. Many have suffered incomparably more, while very few on the plantations89 have suffered less, than himself. Yet how deplorable was his situation! what terrible chastisements were inflicted upon his person! what still more shocking outrages90 were perpetrated upon his mind! with all his noble powers and sublime91 aspirations92, how like a brute73 was he treated, even by those professing93 to have the same mind in them that was in Christ Jesus! to what dreadful liabilities was he continually subjected! how destitute94 of friendly counsel and aid, even in his greatest extremities95! how heavy was the midnight of woe96 which shrouded97 in blackness the last ray of hope, and filled the future with terror and gloom! what longings98 after freedom took possession of his breast, and how his misery99 augmented100, in proportion as he grew reflective and intelligent,—thus demonstrating that a happy slave is an extinct man! how he thought, reasoned, felt, under the lash101 of the driver, with the chains upon his limbs! what perils102 he encountered in his endeavors to escape from his horrible doom103! and how signal have been his deliverance and preservation104 in the midst of a nation of pitiless enemies!
This Narrative contains many affecting incidents, many passages of great eloquence and power; but I think the most thrilling one of them all is the description Douglass gives of his feelings, as he stood soliloquizing respecting his fate, and the chances of his one day being a freeman, on the banks of the Chesapeake Bay—viewing the receding105 vessels106 as they flew with their white wings before the breeze, and apostrophizing them as animated by the living spirit of freedom. Who can read that passage, and be insensible to its pathos and sublimity107? Compressed into it is a whole Alexandrian library of thought, feeling, and sentiment—all that can, all that need be urged, in the form of expostulation, entreaty108, rebuke109, against that crime of crimes,—making man the property of his fellow-man! O, how accursed is that system, which entombs the godlike mind of man, defaces the divine image, reduces those who by creation were crowned with glory and honor to a level with four-footed beasts, and exalts110 the dealer111 in human flesh above all that is called God! Why should its existence be prolonged one hour? Is it not evil, only evil, and that continually? What does its presence imply but the absence of all fear of God, all regard for man, on the part of the people of the United States? Heaven speed its eternal overthrow!
So profoundly ignorant of the nature of slavery are many persons, that they are stubbornly incredulous whenever they read or listen to any recital112 of the cruelties which are daily inflicted on its victims. They do not deny that the slaves are held as property; but that terrible fact seems to convey to their minds no idea of injustice113, exposure to outrage, or savage barbarity. Tell them of cruel scourgings, of mutilations and brandings, of scenes of pollution and blood, of the banishment115 of all light and knowledge, and they affect to be greatly indignant at such enormous exaggerations, such wholesale116 misstatements, such abominable117 libels on the character of the southern planters! As if all these direful outrages were not the natural results of slavery! As if it were less cruel to reduce a human being to the condition of a thing, than to give him a severe flagellation, or to deprive him of necessary food and clothing! As if whips, chains, thumb-screws, paddles, blood-hounds, overseers, drivers, patrols, were not all indispensable to keep the slaves down, and to give protection to their ruthless oppressors! As if, when the marriage institution is abolished, concubinage, adultery, and incest, must not necessarily abound118; when all the rights of humanity are annihilated119, any barrier remains120 to protect the victim from the fury of the spoiler; when absolute power is assumed over life and liberty, it will not be wielded121 with destructive sway! Skeptics of this character abound in society. In some few instances, their incredulity arises from a want of reflection; but, generally, it indicates a hatred122 of the light, a desire to shield slavery from the assaults of its foes124, a contempt of the colored race, whether bond or free. Such will try to discredit125 the shocking tales of slaveholding cruelty which are recorded in this truthful126 Narrative; but they will labor46 in vain. Mr. Douglass has frankly127 disclosed the place of his birth, the names of those who claimed ownership in his body and soul, and the names also of those who committed the crimes which he has alleged128 against them. His statements, therefore, may easily be disproved, if they are untrue.
In the course of his Narrative, he relates two instances of murderous cruelty,—in one of which a planter deliberately129 shot a slave belonging to a neighboring plantation88, who had unintentionally gotten within his lordly domain130 in quest of fish; and in the other, an overseer blew out the brains of a slave who had fled to a stream of water to escape a bloody131 scourging114. Mr. Douglass states that in neither of these instances was any thing done by way of legal arrest or judicial132 investigation133. The Baltimore American, of March 17, 1845, relates a similar case of atrocity134, perpetrated with similar impunity135—as follows:—"Shooting a slave.—We learn, upon the authority of a letter from Charles county, Maryland, received by a gentleman of this city, that a young man, named Matthews, a nephew of General Matthews, and whose father, it is believed, holds an office at Washington, killed one of the slaves upon his father's farm by shooting him. The letter states that young Matthews had been left in charge of the farm; that he gave an order to the servant, which was disobeyed, when he proceeded to the house, obtained a gun, and, returning, shot the servant. He immediately, the letter continues, fled to his father's residence, where he still remains unmolested."—Let it never be forgotten, that no slaveholder or overseer can be convicted of any outrage perpetrated on the person of a slave, however diabolical136 it may be, on the testimony137 of colored witnesses, whether bond or free. By the slave code, they are adjudged to be as incompetent138 to testify against a white man, as though they were indeed a part of the brute creation. Hence, there is no legal protection in fact, whatever there may be in form, for the slave population; and any amount of cruelty may be inflicted on them with impunity. Is it possible for the human mind to conceive of a more horrible state of society?
The effect of a religious profession on the conduct of southern masters is vividly139 described in the following Narrative, and shown to be any thing but salutary. In the nature of the case, it must be in the highest degree pernicious. The testimony of Mr. Douglass, on this point, is sustained by a cloud of witnesses, whose veracity140 is unimpeachable141. "A slaveholder's profession of Christianity is a palpable imposture142. He is a felon143 of the highest grade. He is a man-stealer. It is of no importance what you put in the other scale."
Reader! are you with the man-stealers in sympathy and purpose, or on the side of their down-trodden victims? If with the former, then are you the foe123 of God and man. If with the latter, what are you prepared to do and dare in their behalf? Be faithful, be vigilant144, be untiring in your efforts to break every yoke145, and let the oppressed go free. Come what may—cost what it may—inscribe on the banner which you unfurl to the breeze, as your religious and political motto—"NO COMPROMISE WITH SLAVERY! NO union WITH SLAVEHOLDERS!"
