A mixed selection recounts a grieving poem about a lost child titled the little boy that died, followed by a long confession narrative of a convict describing a murder under a nightmarish fear. The tale details marriage, alleged infidelity rumors, and a fatal incident ending with the convict’s death and a warden’s verdict.
A detailed critique of Stephen A. Douglas’s popular sovereignty doctrine as applied to Kansas and Nebraska. The piece argues territorial self government is limited by presidential and judicial controls, cites 1859 speeches, contrasts territorial with state sovereignty, and contends the Kansas Nebraska bill fails to grant true self rule. It also references the Dred Scott decision and critiques Douglas’s stances.
