[Clark, George W.]:

ON THE CONSTITUTION.

[Rochester? 1860]. 4pp, folded leaf, caption title [as issued]. Near Fine.

Writing from Rochester in March 1860 Clark, author of anti-slavery songsters, argues passionately that slavery "is an alien" to our fundamental law, "a loathsome gangrene eating at the very core and centre of our Religious, Literary and Political Institutions." Slavery is "in perpetual and 'irrepressible conflict' with" freedom.
