Synopsis
Excerpt from Sermon: Delivered at Springfield, Mass; July 4th, 1829, Before the Auxiliary Colonization Society of Hampden County
The object of the Society is to aid the settlement of such free blacks, as are willing to emigrate, on the western coast of Africa. They may have been born free, or emancipated from a state of bondage. It would gladly, however, grasp at a still grander object that of restoring to the land of their fathers the whole coloured race within our borders. Nor probably will it be satisfied to rest from its labours, till this object, in all its magnitude, is accomplished. This then is the enterprise Whose claims are now urged upon our consideration.
