Horace Mann: “That sense of personal security which every honest man is entitled to feel, this law abolishes.”

The liberty of voting includes all other liberties.

A southern slave stands higher, politically, than a northern laborer, if the latter must vote as his employer dictates.

These are but specimens of what the Fugitive Slave law has already done, before the public mind has become familiarized with its brutalities, and while there is yet some sensibility to the claims of justice and mercy left among us.

Let me read to you the disparaging and contemptuous remark of the address on that great palladium of human liberty, the trial by jury.
