- 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."

- The Olive branch. Peace and union. How shall we obtain them? 1st. Apply to the British minister to bring about foreign interference? ... 2d. 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?
