* Fugitive slave law tensions

Page 2 has over a full column taken up with: "An Interesting Case In Ohio" which is a somewhat famous fugitive slave case. Much of the report is taken up with the words of Judge Leavitt.
Also on page 2 is: "The Eastern Shore of Maryland" which takes most of a column & is very descriptive.
Four pages, large folio size, nice condition. Folder size noted is for the issue folded in half.

background: Judge Humphrey H. Leavitt was a federal judge in Ohio known for enforcing the Fugitive Slave Act during the mid-1800s. In cases like those in 1857, he upheld the law despite strong local abolitionist opposition, highlighting the conflict between federal authority and anti-slavery sentiment in Ohio.
