35th Congress, 1st Session. Senate. No publisher, place or date. Washington, 1858. Pamphlet, disbound from a larger work. 88 pp. A report on the Lecompton Constitution of Kansas, in which slaveholding was protected. The first half of the report asserts that pro-abolition causes led rebellions in the state in an effort to go against the will of Kansas residents, who, according to the author, supported the Lecompton Constitution. Included is a printing of the constitution, as well as a report by Stephen Douglas, who, breaking with many Democrats, sided with Republicans against the constitution. His and others' findings found many instances of voter fraud or irregularities, and in 1858, another vote was held and the Lecompton Constitution did not pass. GOOD condition. Old binding holes and remains of binding along the spine. Minor toning and a hint of foxing. Sabin 37041. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 015525
