I mourned when the Fugitive Slave Bill passed Congress, and the same cannons which have just fired minute-guns for him fired also one hundred rounds of joy at the forging of a new fetter for the fugitive's foot. I mourned for him when the kidnappers first came to Boston, — hated then, now " respectable men, " "the companions of princes, " enlarging their testimony in the court. I mourned when my ow^n parishioners fled from the " stripes " of New England to the " stars " of Old England. I mourne...d when Ellen Craft fled to my house for shelter and for succor, and for the first time in all luy life I armed this hand. I mourned when I married William and Ellen Craft, and gave them a Bible for their soul, and a Sword to keep that soul living in a living frame. I luourned when the court house was hung in chains ; when Thomas Sims, from his dungeon, sent out his peti- tion for prayers, and the churches did not dare to pray. I mourned when that poor outcast in yonder dungeon sent for me to visit him, and when I took him by the hand which Daniel Webster was chain- ing in that hour.
