Cydnor Tompkins: “Slavery is detested; we feel its fatal effects; we deplore it with all the pity of humanity.”

Men who commit acts declared by the whole civilized world to be piracy, you permit to escape, while you say you will hang the man who circulates Helper's book.

The great pursuits by which twenty-five million people live, are not considered worthy the attention of this Democratic party; while one hundred thousand aristocrats require its entire services.

The agricultural, the manufacturing, the great commercial interests of this country, are entirely ignored, neglected, and forgotten, that the interests of one hundred thousand slaveholders may be advanced.

Before you complain of us, go home and seize and hang the pirates who are hovering around your shores, engaged in the slave trade.
