| Content Description | "A portion of the Southern Representatives in Congress, have recently issued an Address to the people of the South on the exciting question of slavery. We were unable to unite with them in the movement, and the absence of our names from the paper which they have published, has given rise to strictures upon our course which we propose now to notice. Our conduct has been misconstrued by some and misunderstood by others, and to place the matter in its proper light, is the object of the present communication." Representatives Cobb, Linn Boyd, Beverly Clarke, and John H. Lumpkin object to a recent attack made upon President James Polk and Democrats who supported the Oregon Bill. Uncut. |
