Rare. An “Extra” to the “Liberty Press” relating to slavery and the “deep distress” and idleness caused by slavery. The author, signed “Truth-Teller” attributes most of the labor problems and many of the economic ones to the instution of slavery. He recommends allowing Florida a place in the Union as a free state and Congress guaranteeing each state a republican form of government which he feels would bring about the end of slavery.
