Fremont and his Friends. .---The Disunlon
partv


KEEP THIS BEFORE THE PEOPLE.
That the Black Republicans are bent on a disso-
luton of this glorious cOnfederacy, is evident
from the principles advocated and the declara-
tions Of their leaders in and out of Congress-
They have adopted a platform OF 1undamehtal
Drinciples which necessarily excludes from 1t the
Dcople of half Of the States Of the Union, and
have thus laid the foundation on which can be laid
no other structure than one designed for purposes
of disunion and civil war. The establishment OF
a political party aiming at a supreme control oi
the affairs Of the Union, which is founded on the
basis Of an exclusion from 1t OF the people OF
half the States we hold to be entirely Inconsistent
with auv design of maintaining the Union in its
Integrity and with that respect for the equal
rights Of the States which is essential to its pres
crvaton.
We have selected few of the reasonable eX-
Dressions with which the speeches of the leaders
of the Fremont party are filed. Fanatlcal oppo-
siton to the rights of the South and the guaran-
tees Of the Constitution, and rank dlsunIon are
their prevailing characteristics.
Read and ponder on the following facts and eX-
iracts from the speeches and declarations OF the
friends and allies of John Z. Fremont.
