Note A — THE ANTI-SLAVERY EXAMINER VOL. I. AUGUST, 1836. NO. 1.
Reading edition
"The freedom of the press—the palladium of liberty," was once a household proverb. Now, a printing officeA is entered by ruffians, and its types scattered in the highway, because disobedient to the compact. A Grand Jury, sworn to "present all things truly as they come to their knowledge," refuse to indict the offenders; and a senator in Congress rises in his place, and appeals to the outrage in the printing office, and the conduct of the Grand Jury as evidence of the good faith with which the people of the state of New York were resolved to observe the compactB.
