6. Henry C. Wright, No Rights, No Duties: Or, Slaveholders, as such, Have No Rights; Slaves, as such, Owe No Duties. An Answer to a Letter from Hon. Henry Wilson, Touching Resistance to Slaveholders Being the Right and Duty of the Slaves, and of the People and States of the North (Boston: For the author, 1860). (36 p.)
