[SPAM] S and Louisiana are not a fair specimen of things even in th

 representatives in Congress, have their full share. Now, not merely
does slavery exist in that District, but it exists there under statutes
so barbarous and cruel that the neighbouring slave States have actually
abolished the like within the bounds of their separate jurisdiction,
leaving to the _free_ States the unenviable responsibility of enforcing
laws too horrible for kidnappers. Take a specimen,--"A slave convicted
of any petit treason, or murder, or wilful burning of a dwelling-house,
to have the right hand cut off, to be hanged in the usual manner, the
head severed from the body, the body divided into four quarters, and the
head and quarters set up in the most public places of the county where
such act was committed." Take another,--"A _free negro_ may be arrested,
and put in jail for 3 months, on _suspicion_ of being a runaway; and if
he is not able to _prove_ his freedom in 12 months, _he is to be sold as
a slave_ TO PAY HIS JAIL FEES!" Are there not hundreds of free men, both
black and white, who could not _prove_ their freedom under such
circumstances? Yet, for this _crime_, they are reduced to perpetual
bondage _by authority of Congress_. And all this the North upholds!
Washington, the capital, thus governed, is but the great mart of the
national man-trade.
