NOTES

Sabin 102550;

Reprinted from the New York Evening Post, with additions by the author. A constitutional essay, attempting to prove through analysis and precedent that abolition is within the power of Congress. Weld was a major abolitionist; DAB, in fact, calls him "the greatest of the abolitionists," citing this as one of his major works.
