The Legislature of North Carolina has lately been sitting with closed doors, in consequence of a message from the Governor relative to the above pamphlet. The south may reasonably be alarmed at the circulation of Mr. Walker’s Appeal; for a better promoter of insurrection was never sent forth to an oppressed people. In a future number, we propose to examine it, as also various editorial comments thereon—it being one of the most remarkable productions of the age. We have already publicly deprecated its spirit.
Walker’s Pamphlet was written by William Lloyd Garrison, and appeared in The Liberator, Vol. I No. 1 (January 1, 1831).
It is now available in the Public Domain.
