Look at the outroged condition of the frec people of color, so called, disfranchiscd, persecuted, impoverislied, degraded banished, sold nto endless bondage, the keyof knowlodgj withheld and he glories of the upper world shut out from their benightod visión, ond ftll in this "asyluui for the oppressed of all nations" - the cry of whose tears and groans nnd blood has come up into your ears imploring your mercy and proteciion. Look at your Temple of Liberly desecrated by the impipus profanations of slavehokling and liberty erndicating doctrines put forth by the high priests of slavery - the men of the bowie knifc and the pistol, soine of whose hands ure. as it were. even now reekingnnd dripping with the blood of thcir murdered fellow citizens- cast your eye on 'he black hiornl waste of the siavocratic po lions of these Siaies, where gaming. licentioasness, amalgamation and the plundering of God's poor are the oubr oí the day - then come home to your own paralized North, and contémplate how darkly and deeply thefeare imbued with thnt anti-repub'ican spirit of mobocratic ''espotism and violence whoge origin is in slavery: whose torpedo shock bas hurled her from the acme of her freepies and healthfal governmcntnl energics, into thc depth of poliiicnl p;trnlysis - where the right of pctition has been cloven down, thc frcedom of speech in Congreas wantonly assaüed, and the right of thfi accused to be heard n defence, denicd; an audncious and detestable espionnge estsblished ip the post-ofilce department; free discussion rnenacedby tumultuary movements, wlfli a view to its suppreasion in fhe country; nnd theblood of the innocent .Lovcjoy poured out as water on the guilty plains of Alton, for hisa'jle advocacy of human riglits - look. at these which are but a portion of the features of the entire picture - remernber that the whole North is noio the legalized hunting ground for the venal and God-cursed prowlers of human prey; that your liberty, which is identical with that of all classes of the population o our common country is endangeredü - look at this and resolve to come to that meeting en massc.
