Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from No Slave-Hunting in the Old Bay State: Speech of Wendell Phillips, Esq., Before the Committee on Federal Relation, in Support of the Petitions Asking for a Law to Prevent the Recapture of Fugitive Slaves, in the Hall of the House of Representatives, Thursday, February 17, 1859 Mr. Chairman, - Allow me to read the petition for which we appear: ´To the Honorable Senate and House of Representatives of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts: The undersigned, citizens of Massachusetts, respectfully ask you to enact that no person, who has been held as a slave, shall be delivered up, by any officer or court. State or Federal, within this Commonwealth, to any one claiming him on the ground that he ´owes service or labor´ to such claimant, by the laws of one of the slave States of this Union.´ That petition, Mr. Chairman, lies before you, it is said, with some fifteen thousand signatures. Some of these petitions you will find endorsed by the gentlemen who head and send them to you, with a statement to this effect: ´I could have got almost every, or every legal voter in the town, if I had had the time or the leisure to have circulated this petition more widely´; and, in a few of the towns, we are assured that every legal voter, or three-quarters, or two-thirds of them, have signed this petition.
