This campaign document charges Republicans with stirring up "wild exciitement" in Kansas for their own political benefit. The Democrats refuse "to undertake to determine why the God of nature made the African inferior to the white man; or why He permitted England to fasten the institution of slavery upon the colonies against their repeated and earnest remonstrances. Nor can we tell what Heaven in its wisdom may intend to work out of the relations of master and slave..." This item supports Pierce Administration policies in the Kansas-Nebraska struggle, supports popular sovereignty, and urges the decisive defeat of the Republicans.
