The Manifesto of Joseph Smith III... African slave trade...

NEW YORK HERALD, May 4, 1860 The back page has: "The Mormons" "A Manifesto From Joseph Smith, the Son of the Prophet". The report is mostly taken up with his Manifesto, beginning: "The following is the manifesto of young Joe. Smith, for the organizatin of a new Mormon Church: In taking the head of the Mormon Church, I am running counter to the opinions of many people..." with much more, signed in type: Joseph Smith.

This was Joseph Smith III, the eldest surviving son of the founder of the Latter Day Saint movement. Joseph Smith III was the Prophet-President of what became the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (RLDS Church), renamed Community of Christ in 2001, which considers itself a continuation of the church established by Smith's father in 1830.

The bottom of the front page has: "The Slave Trade in New York--How Suspected Vessels are Seized & Some Times Permitted to Depart" with various details. 

Page 4 has: "Debate on the Slavery Question in the House...Another Exposition of Black Republicanism".  

Eight pages, a little margin wear, generally nice.
