description	The introduction briefly discusses the terms of the "compromise bills" and encourages support for the decisions of the federal government: "There appears no objection from any Southern man to the Fugitive Slave Bill.

The pamphlet was published by the printing office of the Alabama Journal, a newspaper in Montgomery, Alabama.
