Douglas and Walker in a Parallel of Treachery and Ruin
A harsh comparison between Stephen A. Douglas and Gen. William Walker, tracing their rise from humble origins and their shared aim to advance slavery while undermining public rights. The piece accuses them of appealing to demoralized followers, exploiting plunder and spoils, and pursuing notoriety through Popular Sovereignty rhetoric, predicting mutual defeat and widespread public disapproval. It argues the Baltimore Convention erred by not pairing Walker with Douglas, suggesting their joint career would have doomed the nation.

Slavery Debate Reveals Color Lines and Northern Slavery Views
The Philadelphia discussion denounces slavery for any race, arguing laborers of all colors may be owned and citing the Richmond Enquirer on defense of slavery. It notes Northern and Southern leaders echo the claim that slavery is right, natural, and necessary, extending beyond black labor. George Fitzhugh of Virginia is cited as a proponent.
