IMPROMPTU STANZAS,

SUGGESTED BY THE WORKING OF THE FUGITIVE SLAVE ACT, AS ILLUSTRATED IN THE CASE OF REV. DOCTOR PENNINGTON.


BY THE WORK-SHOP BARD.


Bring out the handcuffs, clank the rusted gyves;

Rain down your curses on the doomed race;

Hang out a terror that shall haunt their lives,

In every place.
