1848 UNITED PRESBYTERIAN MAGAZINE. Scarce on Abolition, Slavery, and Colonization in Ohio and Virginia.

One of the most extensive and extended dialogues we have seen preserved on the relationship of the Church to the issue of slavery on the run up to the war; though the periodical was largely abolitionist, editorials are published by those opposing, there is an open letter to the "Negroes of Ohio" by the Colonization Society, etc.
