Outrage in Boston debated and California letter printed
The Warren Mail reprints Pittsburgh Gazette remarks defending Boston against harsh denouncements over a fugitive slave incident while noting most Boston papers condemn the act. The issue is treated as a community failure rather than national treason. The issue is followed by a lengthy letter from Wm. Kinnear’s son-in-law in California describing travel from Tidioute to Salt Lake City and life in Salt Lake City with details on Mormons, wages, crops, and travel hardships.
