Cydnor Tompkins: “Their philanthropy was without regard to complexion; they abhorred slavery, as based on injustice and cruelty; and more…”

Punish the thousands of others who have committed acts of violence against free-State men, and are yet unwhipped of justice.

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.

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.

I have endeavored to show what slavery is, what it has done, and what it intends to do.
