Abolitionist writings stir Georgia debate on Constitution and slavery
A Georgia oriented pamphlet argues abolitionists pose no constitutional breach by ending slavery in the District of Columbia and territories, while urging southern societies to counter with peaceful Christian benevolence and planned emigration schemes to New York and Philadelphia. The piece warns of rising northern agitation and predicts intensified political battles and potential amendments. It also reports drought impacts on Southern cotton states and notes a Georgia dispute over Gen. Newton remarks.
