While we discover at North powerful political party cell

We do not intend to exaggerate the difficulties and evils which
upon desire simply present the question which
cannot avoided and be solved in its true light that
there any who have not considered in all it's magnitude re-

The doctrines Republican party and the principles upon
which Lincoln elected will seek to administer the Gov

for doubt


In the Congress Of the United States and from the roEtrum In
every city and village the North the leaders Of the Republican
party have held toward the people Of the South the

These considerations which force themselves upon the
