1973 - L. Aug. 19; ed: 2/2 - The editor of the WORLD has proclaimed him-
self an abolitionist, but when chided about it, declared that every man
has the right to be an abolitionist under the constitution and says the
South never denied it. He also claims that the efforts made by the free
states to abolish slavery were antagonistic.
He also declares that he has been in favor of modifying the fugitive
slave law, but "judging from his editorial opinions nowadays, it cer-
tainly does not look much like it." (4)
