ffort. The champions of equal rights and of human brotherhood shall hereafter derive new strength from these exertions. Let Massachusetts, then, be aroused. Let all her children be summoned to join in this holy cause. There are questions of ordinary politics in which men may remain neutral; but neutrality now is treason to liberty, to humanity, and to the fundamental principles of our free institutions. Let her united voice, with the accumulated echoes of freedom that fill this ancient Hall, go forth with comfort and cheer to all who labor in the same cause everywhere throughout the land. Let it help to confirm the wavering, and to reclaim those who have erred from the right path. Especially may it exert a proper influence in Congress upon the representatives of the free States. May it serve to make them as firm in the defence of freedom as their opponents are pertinacious in the cause of slavery. Let Massachusetts continue to be known as foremost in the cause of freedom;

here, throughout the perils which preceded the Revolution, our patriot fathers assembled to vow themselves to Freedom. Here in those days, spoke James Otis, full of the thought that the people's safety is the law of God. Here, also, spoke Joseph Warren, inspired by the sentiment that death with all its tortures is preferable to Slavery. And here, also, thundered John Adams, fervid with the conviction that consenting to Slavery is a sacrilegious breach of trust. Not far from this venerable Hall—between this temple of freedom and the very court-house, to which the Senator [Mr. Jones] has referred—is the street, where, in 1770, the first blood was spilt in conflict between British troops and American citizens, and among the victims was one of that African trace, which you so much despise.
