A comparison of Democratic Buchanan/Breckinridge platform to Republican Fremont/Dayton platform with historical background. Prints quotations from Jefferson, Washington, Madison, Polk, and the Constitution. For anyone who can disprove the statements in the broadside, the author offers: "One hundred dollars reward. Let every voter examine and judge for himself!" Poses the question: "Has Congress the Constitutional right to prohibit slavery and polygamy in the territories" and offers the candidates views on the issues.
