- New England fanaticism Who are the real disunionists? In a speech at Framingham, Massachusetts, July 4th, 1863, Wendell Phillips, now the great apostle of abolition, said, "The Union without liberty (to the negroes,) is tenfold to-day more accursed than it was any time the last quarter of a century. ... The Rev. Dr. Tyng, at a meeting of thre Freedmen's Relief Society, New York November 9th, 1863, said, "No gradual emanipcation now. No compensated emanicpation now Now put the axe to the root of the tree, and down with it--down with it." ... Horace Greely, before any state had attempted to go out of the Union, said, "If the cotton states, unitedly and earnestly, wish to withdraw peacefully from the Union, we think they should and would be allowed to do so. ... In "Helper's impending crisis," published in 1860, a book that was recommended by the present Secretary of State, will be found (pages 155-6,) these words: "No Union with slaveholders; ineligibility of slaveholders to office; no recognition of pro-slavery men, except as ruffians, outlaws, and criminals."

- What Jeff. Davis thinks of the war The main plank of the Chicago platform is that which pronounces the war a failure, and on that account demands that "immediate efforts be made for a cessation of hostilities." ... Now let us see what Jeff. Davis thinks on this point. He has recently been in Georgia making speeches on the aspect of public affairs, and especially on the progress of the war waged by the United States for the supression of the Rebellion. ... It is now perfectly evident that the best way--indeed the only way to end the war and restore peace--is by sustaining the government and pushing on the war. ... If you approve this, vote for Lincoln!

Freedom of the press, to print what we please,--lawful, immoral, treasonable or any other species of information. Our nightly dreams will not be haunted by the spectre ghost of Old Abe nor our day dreams, by the fear of tyranny, which shuts (peace) men in Bastiles and prisons. The mourners will provide crape and grey butternut clothing, at their own expense. The ascension will take place precisely at midnight. Superintendent McKibben, will provide a Reed bird lunch. The McClellan campaign song, will be sung immediately at starting. Vallandigham will address the audience, supported by Pendleton, and letters from prominent men, such as Jeff Davis, Breckenridge and others will be read

Hold out the olive branch, confess our error in having resented the bombardment for Fort Sumter, propose peace and union, and with becoming dignity await the answer which the South cannot fail to give to its faithful ally, the Democratic Party? ... 3d. Let our "wayward sisters" go, and give up all hope of the Republic to secure intercourse on the basis of mutual good will and respect? ... 4th. Submit to the Rebels, let them close the Mississippi River, blockade the Susquehanna River and the Chesapeake Bay, divide the United States east and west by the Ohio River, pursue their run-away slaves through the remaining states with force and arms, and finally, let us beg them to permit us to remain in our homes as long as it seems good to them. ... Democrats, is this the kind of peace and union, or disunion, for which we beg the European interference in American affairs through the British ministers?

Politicians, ambitious of place and power, and who have for more than thirty years plotted the overthrow of democracy, have during all that time been guilty of a great fraud on the workingmen of the country. ... In the name of democracy they have stirred up the laboring men and have filled the streets of New York with bloodshed, arson, and riots, and have disgraced us in the eyes of the world. ...
