Let Southern oppressors tremble-let their secret abettors tremble-let their Northern apologists tremble-let all the enemies of the persecuted blacks tremble.

The compact which exists between the North and the South is a covenant with death and an agreement with hell.

I will be as harsh as truth and as uncompromising as justice.

Since the creation of the world there has been no tyrant like Intemperance, and no slaves so cruelly treated as his.

My crime is that I will not go with the multitude to do evil. My singularity is that when I say that freedom is of God and slavery is of the devil, I mean just what I say. My fanaticism is that I insist on the American people abolishing slavery, or ceasing to prate on the rights of man.

Wherever there is a human being, I see God-given rights inherent in that being, whatever may be the sex or complexion.

There must be no compromise with slavery - none whatever. Nothing is gained, everything is lost, by subordinating principle to expedience.
