Scope and content
Thanks Clarkson for address he has received and notes that it has been printed in a daily paper and will soon be published as a pamphlet. Notes that Mr. Polk, a slaveholder, has been elected President but is certain that the anti slavery cause will win, especially if, as expected, Texas is kept out of the Union.
