Travel to Pay in the Democratic Diatribe News
Fremont Journal critiques the Democratic Party and its stance on slavery, linking recent campaigns to the supposed influence of a "black demon." It portrays northern Democrats as aligned with pro slavery doctrines, cites Keitt and Brooks, and argues working classes oppose expansion of slavery into territories.
