Liberty of speech, freedom of the press, and trial by jury had, to a great extent, disappeared in the slave States. Indeed, that portion of the so-called Republic had ceased to be a government of law, and had becomeja government of a tyrannic, cruel oligarchy, more odious, despicable and cruel than... any on earth.
