Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Fugitive Slave Bill: Its History and Constitutionality; With an Account of the Seizure and Enslavement of James Hamlet, and His Subsequent Restoration of Liberty
The Executive Committee of the Society believe that the heart of every anti slavery individual will deeply sympathize with the panting fugitive. They trust that the dwelling of every citizen will be an asylum, or place of protection; and that in view of his extraordinary circumstances, and the approaching cold weather, clothing, and other necessary articles, will be furnished with a liberal hand. They would not recommend that fugitives go to Canada, at least on the approach of winter; but if any go, that they be men without families. It is well for every fugitive to avoid large cities and public houses.
