- Washington:: Congressional Globe Office,, 1852.
Pamphlet, 8vo, 8 pp. Some foxing and darkening, uncut, a little creasing, edges a little rough; otherwise very good. S.W. Downs (1801-1854) was a Senator from Louisiana, a slaveowner and strong supporter of that institution. This little pamphlet can still be regarded as an early railroad document.
