Book excerpt: Excerpt from Twenty-First Annual Report: Presented to the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society by Its Board of Managers, January 26, 1853, With an Appendix Mr. Giddings honorably maintained the post he has so justly won and well defended, as chief Champion in those lists against the hosts of Slavery. Early in the session he availed himself of the opportu nity offered by the presentation of certain Resolutions of the Legisla ture of New Jersey in favor of the Compromises, and eloquently set forth the Aggressions of the Slave Power and the servile submission of the North, in a Speech of great force and pungency. This called down upon him a storm of pro-slavery abuse and personal insult from Mr. Stanley, of North Carolina, which he stoutly and skillfully turned against his indecent assailant. At a later period, in the debate on the Deficiency Bill, Mr. Giddings spoke again with a boldness and dis tinct-mess which could not be misunderstood. He said, truly, the escape of shadracii, the just and holy manifestation of the popular mind at Syracuse, the merited death of gorsuch at Christiana, should teach the advocates of the Fugitive Law, and of the Compromises, that the Higher Law of our natures, dictated by god and imprinted upon the hearts of a Christian people, will eventually set these bar barous enactments at defiance. Thousands of agencies are now at work preparing the minds of the Southern Slaves for the work that lies before them 5 a work which, if not accomplished by the voice of Truth and Justice, will be perfected in blood. 5 5 The remarks I am now making will reach the ears of many thousands now borne down by oppression. To them I say, All men are created equal - 1/on are endowed by your Creator with an inalienable rigid to Liberty; and I add the words of one of Virginia's noblest sons, give ME liberty on can: ME death!
