Book excerpt: Excerpt from Anti-Slavery Reporter, Vol. 1: A Periodical, Containing Justice and Expediency, or Slavery Considered With a View to Its Rightful and Effectual Remedy, Abolition; No; 4 Toeounteraet the dangers resulting from a state of society so utterly at variance with the Great Declaration of American Freedom, should be the earnest endeavor ofevery patriotic states man. Nothing unconstitutional, nothing vim lent should be attempted but the true doctrine of the rights of man should be steadily kept in view; and the opposition to slavery should be inflexible and constantly maintained. The al most daily violation of the constitution in con sequence of the laws ofsome of the slave states, subjecting free colored citizens of new-eng land and elsewhere, who may happen to be on board our coasting vessels, to imprisonment immediately on their arrival in asouthern port, should be provided against. Nor should the imprisonment of the free-colored citizens of the Northern and Middle states, on suspicion of being runaways, subjecting them even after being pronounced free, to the costs of their con finement and trial, be longer tolerated; for if we continue to yield to innovations like these upon the constitution of our fathers, we shall ere long have the name of a free government left us.
