So far rs statutes und Constitutions are concerned
fe theory Is already reduced to practice. Take up
the Fugitive Slave bill. under which Commissioners
II not "Jidges Jurors or witnesses determine who
may be rtnsnded to slavery f'en this free State OF
Nsw-York. Take up the clause ol tie Federal Con-
stitntion upon which this inqu.tous ensctment IL pre-
tel~ed To be- based. Examine them both end you
will find no susion To color. You VIII hnd
nothing that e1empts white men or AngIo-Sexons
from the operation of their provisions II one race or
complexion Of people is subjected to them, so y An
other.
Ard now, my dear Sir as have asked You what
position would take if you were in the atnai'n ot
those who are subject To being seized "a fugitEes
from slavery must not forget to remind yoo OF wiat
Won have not perhaps be n fully aware So far ~
The boasted free institutions of your conntry-iss
Constitution end its Statutes coDcerrsed, you have
no more security from seizure and enslavenert
neither have wife and oiiliren than the black
est negro in ihe State. Ask any competent and
honest lawyer 30 examine for you and he will tell you
that my statement is the truth So TAR ~ the law Is
concerned you have defense hsn The colored
man. who has at all. II seized, you could only
be cled by some such process a. that which You
condemn crushing out a the Judiciary! In
voting against the protection of the fugitive slave,
you vote against your protection; and color Is no
longer defense.
You do infinitely worse than all thss You vote
against the protection of your Savior and final Judge
IN the person of his oppressed brethren. Read the
25th chapter Of Matthew from the 3lst verse to the
close: - 'inasmueh as ye did it not unto one of the
least of these We did it not unto me"
