Footnotes Chapter III. 169 Mr. Quincy also states, that "about a fortnight elapsed, when I was called upon by Rufus Green Amory, a lawyer of eminence at the Boston bar in that day, who showed me a letter from a Southern slaveholder, directing him to prosecute Josiah Quincy for the penalty under the law of 1793, for obstructing the agent of the claimant in obtaining his slave under the process established by that law. Mr. Amory felt, no less than myself, the folly of such a pretence; and I never heard from him, or from any one, anything more upon the subject of prosecution. This fact, and the universal gratification which the fact appeared to give to the public, satisfied my mind, that, unless by accident, or stealth, or in some very thin settled part of the country, the law of 1793 would be forever inoperative, as the event has proved in Massachusetts."—Meeting at Faneuil Hall to protest against the Fugitive Slave Law, letter read from Josiah Quincy, Boston Atlas, Oct. 15, 1850; Goodell, Slavery and Antislavery, 232; Appendix D, No. 12. 170 Appendix D, No. 13. 171 Appendix D, No. 19. 172 Appendix D, No. 16. 173 Appendix D, No. 42. 174 Appendix D, No. 26. 175 Appendix D, No. 20. 176 Appendix D, No. 22. 177 Appendix D, No. 35. 178 See post, §81. 179 Ante, §25. 180 Appendix D, No. 28; see post, §81. 181 Appendix D, No. 34. 182 Ante, §25. 183 Appendix D, No. 21. 184 Appendix D, No. 24. 185 Appendix D, No. 37. 186 Appendix D, No. 25. 187 Appendix D, No. 40. 188 Appendix D, No. 31. 189 Liberator, Aug. 15, 1845, "The Branded Hand." 190 Von Holst, IV. 10, 11. 191 J.

To the rice swamp dank and lone,—
Where the slave-whip ceaseless swings,
Where the noisome insect stings,
Where the fever demon strews
Poison with the falling dews,
Where the sickly sunbeams glare
Through the hot and misty air,—
Gone, gone,—sold and gone
To the rice swamp dank and lone
From Virginia's hills and waters,—
Woe is me, my stolen daughters! "There no mother's eye is near them,
There no mother's ear can hear them;
Never, when the torturing lash
Seams their back with many a gash,
Shall a mother's kindness bless them,
Or a mother's arms caress them.... "Oh, when weary, sad, and slow
From the fields at night they go,
Faint with toil, and racked with pain,
To their cheerless homes again,—
There no brother's voice shall greet them
There no father's welcome meet them." 220 Still, Underground Railroad, 443. 221 Ibid., 448. 222 Williams, History of the Negro Race in America, 293. 223 Still, Underground Railroad, 27. 224 F. L.
