From the National Anti-Slavery Standard. 1851

On September 18, 1851, Sidney Howard Gay of the National Anti-Slavery Standard crowed "...as the love of liberty is no less powerful in men whose skins are black than in those of light complexions, it need surprise nobody that in the game of slave-hunting...it should sometimes happen that the hunted become the mark for bullets, and the law of self-preservation, and not the Fugitive Slave Law, be obeyed and triumph."

September 25, 1851, National Anti-Slavery Standard, continued that the revolt was a just reciprocation to the midnight incursions of man-hunters, with their treacheries, stratagem, their ruffian outrages, and blood violence...menacing the defenceless people of colour with a 'reign of terrour.'"
