- Quote 2"So we speak to the representatives of a Christian country, to the friends of justice, to the champions of the oppressed.

- Quote 3"In another country, and under other circumstances, there is a better prospect. Removal, then, is the only practical remedy. Our people may finally rise from their very ashes, to become prosperous and happy, and a credit to our race. I would say to my countrymen, fly from your life here that is destroying our nation."
