Description

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 As to the doubt whether that petition represents the public sentiment of the State, you know, gentle men, as well as I do, that it does represent it. You know as well as I do - and you do not need our evi dence to assure you of the fact - that you cannot find one respectable man in a hundred who is ready to look his fellow-citizens in the face, and declare, 'i mean to help the slave-hunter in catching his slave.' Let some trading othee-seeker or shameless hound say so, and the universal shrinking and loathing of the community show in what an infinite minority he stands. You know that when, bolstered by office, tempted by salary, or bribed by ambition, here and there one man can be found ready to say, I should like to see a slave-hunt, and join in it; the Fugitive Slave Bill ought to be executed - you know well that, bred in Massachusetts, and vaunting himself as loud ly as he may, not one in ten can stand fire, but when you bring him face to face with a fugitive slave, he shrinks from his own principles.
