Before you complain of the free States, arrest and punish the scoundrels who so cruelly treated the Irishman at Columbia, South Carolina, for no offence but saying that slavery was detrimental to free labor.
Before you complain of us, go home and seize and hang the pirates who are hovering around your shores, engaged in the slave trade.
Take from place and power the men whose hands and faces are reeking and smoking with the blood of our people in Kansas, and put them to death.
Punish the thousands of others who have committed acts of violence against free-State men, and are yet unwhipped of justice.
