BILL AND REPORT OF JOHN A. BINGHAM, AND VOTE ON ITS PASSAGE, REPEALING THE TERRITORIAL NEW MEXICAN LAWS ESTABLISHING SLAVERY AND AUTHORIZING EMPLOYERS TO WHIP "WHITE PERSONS" AND OTHERS IN THEIR EMPLOYMENT, AND DENYING THEM REDRESS IN THE COURTS

[Washington, 1860. 7, [1] pp. Disbound. Else Very Good, with caption title as issued. Page [8] is a list of pamphlets published by the Republican Executive Congressional Committee for the 1864 campaign.

This 1860 Republican campaign document, issued by the Republican Executive Congressional Committee, demonstrates that Democrats approve New Mexico's Slave Code, which allowed employers to whip their white employees.
The vote in Congress to repeal the Code is recorded here, with Republicans overwhelmingly responsible for repeal. This document exemplifies Republican efforts to demonstrate that white workers had a strong interest in the defeat of slavery.
