Abolition Violence and Free Discussion in a Volatile Era

In a stirring open letter, the author denounces mob violence against abolitionists, defends free speech, and argues that abolitionism reinforces liberty. He condemns assaults on presses and persons, praises abolitionists for courage, and warns against silencing dissent while urging humane emancipation and justice.
