This pamphlet is attributed to Stephen Colwell. The author states that as a native of Virginia long resident in Philadelphia, he belongs to a class which is "perhaps better able to keep balanced minds on some of those exciting topics than those who are more immediately engaged-- better than natives of the North or residents of the South." The main topic of his letter is the dispute over slavery. Fair .
