"No man has a right to be surprised
at this state of things. 1t is just what
we (Abolitionists and Disunionists) have
attempted to bring about. There is

own face, and it calls itself national
but it is not national-u as sectional.
The Republican party is a party of the
North pledged against the South. -

Union is an imposture, a comvenant acith
