REPORT OF THE MINORITY OF THE SELECT COMMITTEE, RELATIVE TO THE ADMISSION OF KANSAS INTO THE UNION, MADE TO THE SENATE OF PENNSYLVANIA, MARCH 17, 1858.

Harrisburg, PA: A.B. Hamilton, State Printer, 1858. 11pp, disbound. Light scattered foxing. Early ink ownership signature of Wm. Thompson Shafer at head of title page. Signed in type by Edward G. Gazzam, Andrew Gregg, and Bartram A. Shaeffer. Good+.

Denouncing "the frauds committed in Kansas," the Pennsylvania minority opposes "the establishment of domestic tyranny" by slavery in that territory. President Buchanan of Pennsylvania managed to keep his troops on board for his disastrous Kansas policy favoring its admission as a Slave State. The Minority Report is appalled "that a President of the United States, for the unholy purpose of extending or perpetuating slavery, should recommend to Congress to sanction such a Constitution."
