Excerpt from Remarks on Slavery Meanwhile one of the most numerous and respectable meetings ever held in Boston, on any occasion, was held at Faneuil Hall. It was well understood, that the opinions there expressed, by men who have been compelled to consider the subject of slavery, under the serious responsibility of high public stations, were the Opinions of a very large majority of all our citizens. The essence of these opinions is, that the citizens of non-slaveholding States cannot interfere with sla very; and that the discussion of it in these States, is pregnant with national evils, with peril to slave-holders and misery to slaves. Such is the Opinion at this moment, of all men who are not under the influence of an unfortunate enthusiasm, or under influences which it is needless to characterize.
