Tappan expresses concern over the efforts to keep both slaveholders and the public ignorant about the realities of slavery.

Up--quit yourselves like men: and may Almighty God direct and bless your efforts!
Now is the time, fellow-citizens, to assail the foe.
You will be cheered by the approbation of your own consciences, and by the plaudits of mankind.
Unite then, we beseech you, with one heart and one mind, for the legal, constitutional abolition of slavery.
