[Ohio?]: [Publisher not identified], [1857]. 16pp, approx. 5 1/4 x 8 1/2 in. At head of title "Read and Hand to your Neighbor."

An anti-slavery, pro-Republican treatise published prior to the 1857 Ohio gubernatorial election. The pamphlet opens, "To the consideration of every man who believes in the duty of patriotism as higher than the obligations of party, and who will not cowardly turn away from evidence offered to show that the duty in question now forbids him to vote with the party styling itself Democratic, the following facts are presented, with the assurance that they cannot be denied...." An interior section, "The Dred Scott Decision," desires to "in as condensed form as possible, to lay before the people of Ohio the points decided by the Supreme Court of the United States...." In its closing paragraph, the anonymous publisher writes, in part: "Freemen of Ohio - You will soon be called upon to pronounce your verdict upon this case. The Slave Democracy have indorsed this decision, and defend its atrocious sentiments. You are called upon by them to reject all the views you have so long entertained... and to bow in meek submission to the arrogant demands of slave power. Will you do it? ...."

Sabin suggests 1860 as date of publication, but the content is in support of the reelection of Republican Salmon P. Chase as Governer of Ohio against Democrat Henry B. Payne; Payne ran unsuccessfully against Gov. Chase in 1857.
