Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bloom and Brier No, my friends, you must not expect us to respect you while such vices of omission and commission stream pend ent from every limb of your moral, social, and political, organization. If you wish our regard, purify the fountains of your social, political, and religious life, of its deadly heresies; cease to paint your literature in the meretricious colors of the bawd, the blasphemer, the reviler, the hypocrite, and the slan derer! And forbid your chief men longer to boast of the low level to which they have reduced your society. Some things have been said of negroes in these pages, and said by one who knows them perfectly, and is willing to credit them with every good quality they possess; and yet, he could not, if he would, concede either their intel lectual, moral, or social equality, with his own race, let that race sink to what it may; and, therefore, is not willing to so degrade himself, as to assert the African's capacity for holding the high places of enlightened society, and joyfully inviting him to occupy them nor so to stultify himself, as to assert the peculiar glutinous mucilage of negro intellect.
