Printed by Evans & Cogswell. Stab-stitched. Debow, a publisher and statistician, issues a pro-slavery and pro-secession polemic. Tries to convince non-slaveholders to uphold the institution of their "section," the South. Uses several arguments to present his case, including: "The non-slaveholder knows that as soon as his savings will admit, he can relieve his wife from the necessities of the kitchen and the laundry, and his children from the labors of the field."
