tional inconailtenciea. The
exiatencc of .lavery In thiI
country branda your
republlcanllm a .bam,
your humanity a bue
prete , and your Chri ••
tlanity u alie.
It de.troya your moral
po or abroad: it corrupta
your politicians at home. It
.ap the foundation of
religion; it makes your name
a hilling and a bye-WOrd to a
mocking earth. It is the an­
tagoni tic force in your
government, the only thing
that seriously disturb and en­
dangers your Union.
It fetters Y0U:l' progres ; it
is the enemy of improvement;
the deadly foc of education; It
fostera pride: it breeds In­
solence; it promotes vice; it
shelters crime; It' a CUJ"SC to
the earth that supports it; and
yet you cling to it If it were

bosom; the venomous crea­
ture is nursing at the tender
breast of your youthful
republic; for the love of God,
tear away, and fling from you
the hideous monster, and let
the weight of twenty millions
crush and 'destroy it
forever! ...
Allow me to say, in con­
clusion, notwithstanding the
dark picture I have this day
presented, of the state of the
nation, I do not despair of this
country. There are forces in
operation which must in­
evitably work the downfall of
slavery. "The arm of the Lord
is not hortened," and the
doom of slavery is certain, I,
therefore, leave off where I
began, with hope'. While
drawing encouragement from
"the Declaration of Inde­
pendence," the' great prin­
ciples it contains, and the
genius of American Institu­
tions, agitate, and demand
equality, be equal, perform
equally. •
�lso, we' must become
vigilant, active and take our
right place in running and
controlling the AmericanJYS­
tern, government, and in­
dustries.
And yes, we should now
celebrate the Fourth of July,
enjoy the day, but never for­
get the history outlined by the
Hon-Frederick Douglas. We
must make the words of the
Declaration of Independence
and the, Constitution living
documents that function for
all American citizens and
people.
