That is a wonderful, but startling editorial. Note that it is from the N.Y. Herald. You can see how radical abolitionists were considered even in the north. And the writing! Just the first paragraph has the Latin we are assumed to understand and then, "a slide from the general embankment of antislavery . . ." I had to think about that one.
A steady diet of such contributions alleviates my fear that this series lacks variety.
