By their own act, our duty to respect their rights, underthat Constitution, ceases with their repudiation of it; and our rightto liberate their slave property is as clear as would be our right toliberate the slaves of Cuba in a war with Spain. "A band of pirates threaten and authorize piracy upon Northerncommerce; and from the moment that threat is carried into execution, the fetters will fall f...rom the manacled limbs of their slaves, andthey will be encouraged and aided in the establishment of theirfreedom. Suppose Cuba were to issue letters of marque against ourcommerce, and, according to the Charleston Mercury, seize 'upon therich prizes which may be coming from foreign lands, ' does any saneman doubt that we should at once invade that island, and liberate herslaves?
