This book was released on 2018-02-16 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Freedom National, Slavery Sectional: Speech of Hon. Charles Sumner, of Massachusetts, on His Motion to Repeal the Fugitive Slave Bill, in the Senate of the United States, August 26, 1852 Though thus comprehensive in its provisions and applicable to all, there is no safeguard of Human Freedom which the monster Act does not set at naught. It commits this great question - than which none is more sacred in the law - not to a solemn trial; but to summary proceedings. It commits this question - not to one of the high tribunals of the land - but to the unaided judgment of a single petty magistrate.
