Viii. And now after glancing briefly at his public course in reference to the atrocities of the Fugitive Slave Law—at his argument proving Freedom to be national, and Slavery sectional—his efforts to prevent the extension of slavery over new Territories—the vindication of Freedom in Kansas—the tyrannical usurpations of the Slave Oligarchy; and more particularly the way in which he had dragged the barbarism of slavery into the light of public gaze, he said to the Worcester Convention: These are topics no longer of practical interest; they are not of to-day. Let us, he said, rejoice that so much has been gained, and from the extent of the present triumph, take hope and courage for the future.
