Explanation:

The proclamation is from the Vigilance Committee of Boston regarding a mock - trial of a fugitive slave. It calls on people to come and witness and take action. This shows an organized effort against the situation of the fugitive slave being delivered to slavery. Options A and B are incorrect as the proclamation is against the negative situation of slavery (not supporting it as a positive good or encouraging slave rebellions in the South). Option D is about relations between native - born and Catholic immigrants which is not relevant to the text about the fugitive slave.

Answer:

C. Increasing the visibility of organized opposition to slavery
