This scarce pamphlet is a Know-Nothing attack on the new Republican Party's candidate for President, John C. Fremont. It illustrates the fateful struggle for the political soul of northern voters-- whether they would ultimately throw their support to the anti-slavery position, or to an anti-immigration candidate (in this campaign, ex-President Millard Fillmore).
