Title: Modern "Democracy," the ally of slavery. Speech of Hon. M. W. Tappan of New Hampshire, in the House of Representatives, July 29, 1856.

Printed by Greeley & McElrath (the New York Tribune). Tappan, a United States Representative from New Hampshire, declares, "There is... but one hope left for Freedom in Kansas, and that the people of this country are about to avail themselves of.
