Excerpt from Right and Wrong, in Mansfield, Mass: Or an Account of Pro-Slavery Mob of October 10th, 1836: When an Anti-Slavery Lecturer Was Silenced by the Beat of Drums, &C. With Some Reasoning in Favor of Emancipation Mr. Burleigh is employed by the American Anti Slavery Society as their Agent to lecture in favor of emancipation. He had a right to lecture. The God of heaven gives him that right, and we have a right to hear. No man or body ot' men has a right to take it away. It is inalienable. The Constitution of this state and ofthe United States recognizes this right, and any attempt to take it away is a violation ofthe laws of God and our Country. We have, there fore, been most grossly insulted. Liberty is down in Mansfield, unless its inhabitants exert themselves for its restoration. Some think it best to call a Town Meeting to take the minds of the people upon the subject. To see if the majority are willing to aid in the restoration of our lost liberties, or Wlsh to toler-r ate and acquiesce in such proceedings. If we are willing to set tamely and submissively under the tri umphs of mob-law, then indeed we are fit to become slaves to southern nabobs.
