Douglass Candidate Attacks Mechanics in Pittsburg Speech
The Douglas campaign figure Herschel V Johnson faced fierce laborer opposition in Pittsburg on the 22d alt as he denounced workers as slaves owned by their employers. Crowds shouted in protest while he repeated his critique of capital owning labor and pressed popular sovereignty as a counter. The piece labels Johnson as a slaveholding aristocrat and warns workers to oppose him at the polls.
