Towns and Wilmot Proviso debate in southern South Carolina article
A long partisan letter and excerpts from newspapers discuss Gov. Towns stance against the Wilmot Proviso, Southern rights to slave property in new territories, and attacks on Georgia Whigs. The piece critiques northern moderation, cites the Charleston Mercury, Augusta Chronicle, and Georgia papers, and argues for unity among Southern factions to defend slavery in territories and oppose abolitionist pressure.
