Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annual Reports of the American Anti-Slavery Society: By the Executive Committee, for the Years Ending May 1, 1857, and May 1, 1858 In the earlier days of the anti-slavery movement, not a year, sometimes hardly a month passed, that did not bear open its record the report Of mobs, almost always ferocious in spirit, and sometimes cruel and blood-stained in act. It was the first instinctive and brutal response Of a pro-slavery people convicted Of guilt and called to repentance, and it was almost universal. W'herever anti-slavery was preached, honestly and effectually, there the mobocratic Spirit followed it, so that, in those times, he who escaped this ordeal, was, with some justice, held to be either inefficient or unfaithful. Hardly a town or city, from Alton to Portland, where much anti-slavery labor was bestowed, in the first fifteen years of this enterprise, that was not the scene of one of these attempts to crush all free discus sion of the subject of Slavery, by violence or bloodshed. Hardly one Of the earlier public advocates of the cause that was not made to suffer, either in person or in property, or in both, from popular violence - the penalty of Obedience to the dictates of his own con science. Nor was this all Official countenance was often given to the mad proceedings of the mob, or if not given, its protection was withheld from those who were the Objects of popular hatred; and, as if this were not enough, legislation was invoked to the same end. It was sug gested to the Legislature of one of the Southern States, that alarge reward be offered for the head of a citizen of Massachusetts, who was the pioneer in the modern anti-slavery movement. A similar reward was Offered for the head of a citizen of New York. Yet neither excited the popular indignation, nor legislative resentment in either of those States for so foul an insult. On the other hand, Governor everett, of Massachusetts, suggested to its General Court the passage of a law which should make anti-slavery discus sion an indictable offence; and the late harrison gray otis, when Mayor of Boston, at the, requisition of a Southern Governor, made it his special duty to seek out the editor Of the Liberator, and only refrained from abating him as a nuisance, because he could not believe that any mischief was to be apprehended from a man who could sleep in a garrct, live upon crackers, who had no social influ ence, and no visible assistant, except a little negro boy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Twenty-Eighth Annual Report of the American Anti-Slavery Society: By the Executive Committee, for the Year Ending May 1, 1861 The year has witnessed a Presidential election the most memora ble, taken with its accompaniments and apparent consequences, which the country has yet known. At the date of our last Report, the note of preparation was already sounding, and the mustering of the combatants had begun. On the 23d of April, 1860, the Demo cratic National Convention met at Charleston, S. C., to make its nominations and lay down its Platform. Every State in the Union was fully represented, but not, as in former days, by the harmonious members of a great, united party. Most of the Southern delegates had evidently come determined to reject the favorite of the great majority of the Northern Democracy, stephen A douglas, and with him his doctrine of Popular Sovereignty, and to commit the party unequivocally to extreme pro-slavery principles and mea sures; or, failing of this, to break up the Convention and wreck the party. Indeed, in View of subsequent events, there is reason to be lieve that the latter was the primary design of the Southern leaders; and that they pressed upon their Northern copartisans such demands as they knew would be rejected, so that they might make occasion for dividing the party and ensuring its defeat, and thus, in the success of the Republicans, obtain a pretext for seceding from the Union, and founding a grand slaveholding and slave-trading empire, pure from any taint of freedom. Be that, however, as it may, the South insisted that property in slaves should be regarded as no less sacred than any other property; that all the Territories should be open to the intro duction of it; and that, wherever held or carried, it should be pro tected by the Federal Government. The Northern delegates, on the other hand, warned, by the signs of a growing anti-slavery feeling at the North, that yielding to such extravagant demands would bring upon them sure defeat, refused to be dragged into a position of such deadly peril. They were willing to stand by all their old pro-slavery precedents; perhaps even, for the sake of still preserving an nu broken party, would have gone a little further slavery-ward than they had ever gone before; but to grant all which was asked was to incur too great a risk.
