(Article) Subject The topic of the resource Henry Highland Garnet on support for free produce Description An account of the resource MR. DOUGLASS: - In the last number of the North Star, you offer me an opportunity, to speak for myself, through the same medium through which you have slandered and traduced me. I thank you for it, and at the same time I assure you, that whenever you lay aside low and vulgar personalities, and call me out as a gentleman, I will answer, and not otherwise. I had two reasons for not resorting to your paper in order to make a reply. First, because I addressed a letter to you last winter for publication, expressive of my gratitude to some of anti-slavery friends in Penn Yan, and you did not suffer it to see the light, because it contained some views which were unpalatable to you. And in the second place, because I thought it unlikely that after having wilfully misrepresented me, you could not even "for a pretence" show so much liberality. You heard that my friends, and the friends of universal freedom in England, had invited me to visit that country, and immediately you became very much alarmed, and your friends also. The reason for this trouble of mind on your part I have not been able to determine, unless it is, that you have the spirit of the Old Roman, and believe that "the world was made for Caesar." You did not even want to know whether I was going to that country, before you labored like a Hurcules to blacken my character in the eyes of a people who may never see me. I knew sir, that in your hot pursuit after a worthless, and a transient fame, you would sometimes stop to mean things, but I never dreamed that you would ever sink so low, that you would have to reach up, standing on tip-toe, to find that level of meanness where common knaves are inclined to pause. Ah, sir, the green-eyed monster has made you mad. Pardon me, when I tell you that you never imbibed a spirit so narrow from any dark son of our native Maryland, living or dead. But why should I marvel? When did you ever manifest friendship to any colored man who differed with you in sentiment? You deign not to mention the name of the noble Alexander Crummell; you have stabbed at J.W.C. Pennington; you have tried to ruin that eloquent fugitive Henry Bibb; and you have vainly attempted to crush that intellectual giant Samuel R. Ward. But you are at home in the company of Thomas Van Rensselaer, editor of the Ram's Horn, whom you have accused of falsehood. What think, you of the old adage, Show me a man's company, and I will tell you what he is? In your assassin-like article, which you desired to take effect in England, you say that I am a man, and may stand among my brethren. - Why was all that necessary? Why raise a mortal to the sky? You talk of my race - pray sir, how many races of men are there? Certainly if you do not belong to my race , you must belong to that of Haman. You make four charges against me, every one if which is generally and particularly false; and you knew them to be such when you made them. 1. You say I go to England to advocate a cause abroad which I have not espoused at home - the Free Produce cause. This is untrue in two particulars. I go not for that purpose alone - I am requested to advocate the cause of freedom generally. I am a friend of Free Produce , and have humbly commenced practicing it. 2. You publish that I have no faith in the use of moral means for the extinction of American Slavery. I believe with all my heart in such means - and I believe that political power ought to be used for that end, and that when rightly used, it is strictly moral . I also believe that the slave has a moral right to use his physical power to obtain his liberty - my motto is, give me liberty, or give me death. Dare you, Frederick Douglass, say otherwise? Speak plainly - I am "calling you out." 3. You accuse me of being your enemy. I am not. I stand in that relation to no man. You hate me because I tell you the truth. May you seek speedy repentance. 4. You, and the Anti-Slavery Bugle, say that I will misrepresent you in England. My theme in that land will be of better men, and better principles than you, or those which you possess. Will the Bugle please publish this letter, and send me the paper, and I will send him a years subscription. Some two months ago or more, Mr. Douglass challenged me, in connexion with Ward, and Bibb, to discuss the matter upon which we differed in New York in May last. I accepted, but you became frightened at the mere "shaking of my goose quill." You could not be called out. You affirmed that the project to give the slaves the Bible, is unworthy of the attention of philanthropists. I dissent from you entirely. Your servant, HENRY HIGHLAND GARNET. PETERBORO, Aug. 31.

Title A name given to the resource Coercion! Lines suggested on seeing the first number of "The Non-Slaveholder" (Poem) Description An account of the resource Fresh help! fresh champions in the field Of moral bravery, Truth's panoply to wear and wield 'Gainst Slavery! To stand in virtuous freedom bold, The banner with firm hand to hold, A life-time warfare to proclaim, In freedom's name, Against a system foul, inhuman, And to a bloodless battle summon! But hark! as from a bleating flock, Who fear the moral battle shock, I hear the timid cry arise, Of those who mark, with mournful eyes, Truth nailed against the cross by Hate, And, with vague fear of unseen bait, Afriad where ghosts are none, Or seeking worldly loss to shun. Follow afar, with conscience stricken, That Truth, believed, and yet forsaken. Truth's lovers, struck with pallid terror, Join the Ephesian shout of Error, And cry "COERCION!" Evil is odious in their sight, And yet they dread the moral fight,  Some spectre rises to affright And check exertion. Backward they look with reverent gaze On a conquests won in former days, Past triumphs win their ready praise, As "MORAL SUASION!" Their valiant fathers battled well -- Proudly their sons their virtues tell On each occasion. And, oh, had Satan kindly lain, Prostrate and slain, When those good fathers struck the blow As ye strike now, Who could have blamed the fatal thrust, Coercing him to lie in dust, Or feared, (their faith excused from trial, Temptation having taken wing,) To use luxurious self-denial Separate from the unclean thing. Yet list ye to that chorus cry! With ready ear its meaning try! Subject the word to test discreet, As with the mouth ye taste of meat! It stands you much in stead to ken The temper of the assilants' blade, The one they ever brandish, when  Fresh movements for the truth are made! To me, I ween, that cry has grown And old familiar tedious tone, Still ringing, dinging in my ears, Since first I grew to manhood's years, I've known it raised, with craven terror, At every new attack of Error-- And not without this deafening roar, Was gained one inch in righteous war. When chaste and lovely Temperance, first Her "few and feeble" champioins mustered. The sages, at the bottle nursed, Struck with dismay, were sadly flustered,  To the pure love of Truth a stranger, Each saw his gainful craft in danger, And, lacking argument for Evil, Yet bent at moral Truth to cavil, In hope of gain - in pure perversion, They raised this bug-bear shout, "COERCION!" And silly Echo caught the cry, Nor suffers yet the sound to die, Filling with the re-echoing sound, Craniums where brains not much abound,  And hollow hearts where sordid pelf, Or that corroding canker, Self, Upon the vital fluid preys, And every generous impulse stays. Since then I've marked, on each occasion, That called for fearless Moral Suasion, In every stage of every fight Where Error was assailed by Right, COERCION was the favorite shout Employed to put the Truth to rout, And lingering sometimes on the tongue Of truthful ones who loathed the wrong, Good men and true in pure mistake As argument the word would speak. And Truth would always kindly bear The attacked which most obstruc [?] When hearts mistaken, yet sincere, The many join in blind applause, Of plausible insidious Error, And view her forim with honest terror!

Title A name given to the resource The Illumination, or Glorification of Wrong and Outrage (Poem) Description An account of the resource My heart is sick with disappointed hopes, This robber-war has loosen'd all its props, I fondly hoped the public heart and mind Were feeling brotherhood for all mankind, That Christian principles of love and peace Were wide diffused, and that all wars would cease; That these pure principles, opposed to strife, Had set just value on the human life; But the low standard of our public presses, Decks robber-war in patriotic dresses, Shouts "glorious victory" -- with joyful cry -- At wholesale murder of the deepest die! For what was this vile robber-war began, But to make room for trafficking in man, To spread the hateful curse of slavery o'er Wide fertile plains where freedom reigned before? But we can now exult o'er thousands slain, O'er wounded thousands agonized with pain, And o'er desponding hearts of thousands more, Bereft of all that sweetened life before. Can Christians glory in the deep distress, Of brethren in their utter hopelessness? -- In early times, true Christian converts strove To bless mankind through offices of love. If pressed to war, they then could answer right, I am a Christian, therefore cannot fight; The term admits but one interpretation, True love to God, and man in every station. Now Christians, calld, can fight in vilest cause, And for their murders ask the world's applause; Get up illuminations, shout huzzas,  And bid defiance to Christ's holy laws. Your shining lights are but portentous gloom-- A dark foreboding of the times to come, When the dire evils of this murderous war, And robber-slavery must be answered for. Then, all these impious pageantries will cease, These daring insults to the Prince of peace. Ah! when will that bright gospel day break in, When men will cease to glorify their sin?

Title A name given to the resource Lo, a wail of hopeless sorrow (Poem) Description An account of the resource "When the news of the reduction of the sugar duties, by the British Parliament, reached Havanna, the city was illuminated; the price of slaves rose twenty five percent; and twelve slavers were about to be fitted for the coast of Africa for slaves."  Letter from a friend Lo, a wail of hopeless sorrow Comes from Cuba's arid plains, And the broad Brazilian valleys Where Oppression proudly reigns, And his fiery demons scatter Pestilence with lavish hand Like the plagues that swept in fury Over Egypt's guilty land! 'Tis the wretched slave despairing That his day of hope is o'er, While a cry responsive rises Over Afric's golden shore. Mingled with that wail of anguish Comes the sound of joy and mirth, Like the mountain torrent breaking From its darksome cavern forth. Hark! it is the haughty Spaniard's  And the glad Brazilian's shout, 'Mid the Universal wailing Of the bondman, bursting out. What can mean this strange confusion? Are the fires of Freedom dead, And the clouds of endless slavery Black o'er hill and mountain head? Are the foes of despotism Driven from the battle-field? Has the friend of Afric, fleeing, Vilely cast away his shield? Where is Liberty's fair Goddess? Has she turned to take her flight? Or the sun of Freedom, setting, Left the world in Slavery's night? That the broken hearted bondman Pours afresh his sorrow forth, While his iron-hearted master Revels in indecent mirth! Creole thieves--Brazilin tyrants Rob the Negro of his toil-- England's silver buys the plunder English freemen share the spoil. England, slavery-hating England, On oppression's dainties feeds -- 'Tis for this the slaver gladdens, And anew the captive bleeds! Pause a moment, ye who revel O'er the toil of weeping slaves, Tell me who has sent those slaveships O'er the broad Atlantic's waves? Lo in Afric scenes of murder, Robbery and revolting crime, Horrid deeds that stand unrivalled In the chronicles of Time! Mark yon conflagrating village-- Hear those shrieks of wild despair -- Pause and tell me -- are ye guiltless? Who has sent those slaveships there? Foes to slavery, who have nobly All its thousand wiles withstood, Friends to Freedom, the world over, Will ye buy the price of blood! Hear ye not the voice of Clarkson Speaking from the silent grave, "Will YE aid in plundering Afric! Will YE help to rob the slave!" Heed ye then the solemn warning, Led the robber keep his prey, And with firm and noble purpose, Turn ye from the spoil away. Richmond, Ia., 12the mo. 22d, 1846. R.T.R.

Title A name given to the resource New York; (Meeting) Description An account of the resource Free Produce Meeting in New York We have received the gratifying intelligence that the annual meeting of the Free Produce Association of Friends of new York Yearly Meeting, held on the evening of Third day last, in the Yearly Meeting House, was very numerously attended by the members of that Yearly Meeting. This large attendance was probably the result, in part, of notice being given by the Clerk, in the Yearly Meting, of the intended meeting of the Association and its purpose being there approvingly spoken of by several influential members; but it is believed, it may be more attributed to an increasing, deepening sense throughout the Yearly Meeting of the duty of working with CLEAN HANDS in our efforts to subvert the system of slavery. A subscription was opened at the meeting towards the establishment of a Free Produce Store in New York, and the sum of $550 raised, additional to previous collections. A large committee consisting of several members within each quarterly meeting, was appointed to collect further sums. We hope to give a fuller account next month.

Title A name given to the resource To Those I love (Poem) Description An account of the resource Oh, turn ye not displeased away, though I should sometimes seem Too much to press upon your ear, an oft- repeated theme ; The story of the negro's wrongs is heavy at my heart. And can I choose but wish from you a sympathizing part ? I turn to you to share my joy, — to soothe me in my grief — In wayward sadness from your. smiles, I seek a sweet relief: And shall I keep this burning wish to see the slave set free, Lock'd darkly in my secret heart, unshared and silently? I cannot know that all the chords, which give their magic tone Like Memnon's harp, in music out, 'neath sunshine smiles alone. Are torn by savage hands away from woman's bleeding breast. And with their sweetness on my soul, my feelings keep repress'd! If I had been a friendless thing — if I had never known. How swell the fountains of the heart beneath affection's tone, I might have, careless, seen the leaf torn rudely from its stem, But clinging as I do to you, can I but feel for them ? I could not brook to list the sad sweet music of a bird. Though it were sweeter melody than ever ear hath heard, If cruel hands had quench'd its light, that in the plaintive song. It might the breathing memory of other days prolong. And can I give my lip to taste the life-bought luxuries, wrung From those on whom a darker night of anguish has been flung — Or silently and selfishly enjoy my better lot. While those whom God hath bade me love, are wretched and forgot ? Oh no ! — so blame me not, sweet friends, though I should some- times seem Too much to press upon your ear an oft-repeated theme ; The story of the negro's wrongs hath won me from my rest, — And I must strive to wake for him an interest in your breast !

(Poem) Description An account of the resource No, no, pretty sugar-plums ! stay where you are! Though my grandmother sent you to me from so far ; You look very nice, you would taste very sweet. And I love you right well, yet not one will I eat. For the poor slaves have labour'd, far down in the south, To make you so sweet and so nice for my mouth ; But I want no slaves toiling for me in the sun. Driven on with the whip, till the long day is done. Perhaps some poor slave child, that hoed up the ground. Round the cane in whose rich juice your sweetness was found, Was flogg'd, till his mother cried sadly to see, And I 'm sure I want nobody beaten for me. So grandma, I thank you for being so kind. But your present, to-day, is not much to my mind ; Though I love you so dearly, I choose not to eat Even what you have sent me by slavery made sweet. Thus said little Fanny, and skipp'd off to play. Leaving all her nice sugar-plums just where they lay. As merry as if they had gone in her mouth. And she had not cared for the slaves of the south.
