It is the twelfth section of an act entitled, " an act to punish offences against slave property. " It exhibits the character of the bloody code by which Slavery finds it necessary to hedge itself about ; and to which the freemen of Kansas are required to bend their necks in silence^ on peril of fines^ imprisonment, and DEATH. " Sec. 12. If any free person, by speaking or by writing, assert or maintain that persons have not the right to hold slaves in the Terri- tory, or shall introduce into Ka...nsas, print, publish, write, circulate, or cause to be introduced into the Territory, wi'itten, prmted, published, or circulated in this Territory, any book, paper, magazine, pamphlet, or circular, containing any denial of the rights of persons to hold slaves in tliis Territory, such person shall be deemed guilty of felony, and punished by imprisonment at hard labor for a term not less than two years. " It is the refusal to submit passively to such an act, that the political leaders and journals of the Demo- cratic party tln-oughout the country have denounced as " treason and rebellion against the government and laws of the United States ; " thereby approving and indors- ing this atrocious statute.
