The
judges to whom I do submit our case are those Englishmen and others
whose conscience blends with their judgment, and who determine such
questions as this on their essential rightness which has claim to the
first and decisive consideration. For much that is irregular in the
arrangement and sequence of the subject-matter, some blame fairly
attaches to our assailant. The erratic manner in which lie launches
his injurious statements against the hapless Blacks, even in the
course of passages which no more led up to them than to any other
section of mankind, is a very notable feature of his anti-Negro
production. As he frequently repeats, very often with cynical
aggravations, his charges and sinister prophecies against the sable
objects of his aversion, I could see no other course open to me than
to take him up on the points whereto I demurred, exactly how, when,
and where I found them.
My purpose could not be attained up without direct mention of, or
reference to, certain public [20] employes in the Colonies whose
official conduct has often been the subject of criticism in the
public press of the West Indies.
