http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/30789255

Letter from Fremont (who had changed his name from Sewall L. Fish) to Hon. Samuel Swasey of New Hampshire. Writing from Fort Johnston, N.C., Fremont commented on the North and the South. He praised the physical beauty of New Hampshire and the democratic sagacity of its people, and referred to the intent in N.H. to nullify the law of the Whig congress with regard to the district system. He mentioned N.C.'s agriculture; tar, pitch, and turpentine industry; and lumber industry. Fremont accused the people of North Carolina of indolence due to their dependence on slave labor.
