John M. Clayton, before leaving America, for a passport, which was refused me.\u00a0 So, upon inquiring of his servant, he showed me his passport, which proved to be nothing less than a regular passport from the hand of the Secretary of State.\u00a0 &#8230;&#8230;This proves conclusively, that if a colored person wishes the protection of the U. S. government in going into any foreign country, he must not think of going in any other capacity than that of a boot-black.\u00a0 The act of the government , in denying to its colored citizens the same protection that it extends to the whites, is more cowardly, and mean, if possible, than any act committed for years. But it is entirely in keeping with American republicanism&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>November 2, 1849 The letter to Garrison, is written from London, October
