Answer:

Douglass feels the underground railroad is too publicized. He also feels that although the intent is honorable, the slaves themselves are lost when they attain their freedom.... they're unprepared. He also believed that the publicity that accompanied the underground railroad made the slave owners all the more aware, and that the owner's awareness was a hindrance to the desired result.
