Forged Lawrence Speech Sparks Political Controversy

The article accuses the Black Republican press of forgery after the Commercial published a speech attributed to Mr. Atchison in Lawrence. It claims the speaker mocked abolitionists and urged violence, while asserting the speech is a gross fabrication by Black Republicans. It also notes Atchison’s actual aim was peace and moderation, and ends with a quip about a man named John Hole who punched a hole through the paper.
