Description: Wilson, a member of the Association, spoke before the Working men to clarify the Association's position amidst damaging false accusations, including abolitionist sympathies, preferred methods of taxation, formation of a new political party, and encouraging class divisions.  Wilson emphasizes the importance of loyalty to the south above loyalty to the Union and the Constitution, which he feels is being compromised by unequal taxation and advancements made by free blacks.  A list of resolutions unanimously adopted by the Association follows Wilson's address.
