Excerpt from Address Delivered in Boston, New York and Philadelphia Brethren and Friends: - My pleasure, in meeting you on this occasion, would be perfect, were it not dashed with the knowledge that I am soon to be separated from you, in a distant country. Probably you are all aware that, in a few days, I propose to sail from New-York for England, on a high and important mission. When I reflect that this may be the last time I shall behold you together on earth; the last time I shall be permitted to administer advice and consolation to your minds; the last time I shall have an opportunity to pour out my gratitude before you, for the numerous manifestations of your confidence, and appreciation of my humble services in your cause - I cannot but feel a strong depression of my mind. The separation of friends - especially if it is to be a long and hazardous one, is sure to excite conflicting emotions of anxiety, regret and sorrow. Their attachment then seems to acquire new strength - they never could have deemed it so painful a thing to part - reluctantly is given the pressure of the hand, and tremulously uttered the word - "Farewell " But a separation, like this, is to me, and I believe to yourselves, one of no ordinary occurrence. Your condition, as a people, has long attracted my attention, secured my efforts, and awakened in my breast a flame of sympathy, which neither the winds nor waves of opposition can ever extinguish. It is the lowness of your estate, in the estimation of the world, which exalts you in my eyes. It is the distance that separates you from the blessings and privileges of society, which brings you so closely to my affections.
