tinguished men as Victor Hugo and Wil

liam Goodell bow their knee to the white

Baal.

This they do. Victor Hugo, author of

“The Hunchback,” and of certain Anti-

Slavery letters whose zalvanic style have

won for him an Anti-Slavery reputation of

more glitter than gold—Victor Hugo com

placently informs the benighted Haytiens

that “in the sight of God, all souls are

white which is reducing the Almighty

to the level of the directors of the Sixth

avenue railroad—preferring white before

colored, the mixed before the pure—say

ing that “colored persons are allowed” in

His bosom, the bosom of God. But

they must scem to be white to Him.

While the idea that color could affect

the Supreme Being is supremely ridiculous,

yet admitting it for a moment, black,

which drinks in all His light, should be

dearer to Him than white, which rejects all

His light. There is more light in the bo

dy of the negro than in the body of the

white man.

William Goodell, who is all logic, sui

cidally admits to the columns of the “Prin

cipia” an essay on “T'he White Embryo

Caste of Slaves,” with the view, if it means

‘anything, that it is something more dread

ful, heinous, aund sinful--a particularly

damnable feature of slavery, that it is about

to, or has, reduced men and women almost

or altogether white into chattel slavery.

We ask brother Goodell, in the name of

reason, of conscience, of justice, and of

God, who is “no respector of persons,” how

can he pander to the idolatrous barbarism

of American caste by printing such essays
