Title: Philadelphia, April 15, 1861. To the president of the United States The unparalleled event of the past week has revealed to the citizens of the United States, beyond question or possibility of doubt, that a peaceful reconciliation under the form of our Constitution, is repelled and scorned, and that secession means, in the hearts of its supporters, both treason and war against our country and nation. We, therefore, the undersigned, loyal citizens of the United States and inhabitants of the city of Philadelphia, responding to the proclamation of the president of the United States, hereby declare our unalterable determination to sustain the government in its efforts to maintain the honor, the integrity and the existence of our national union

Title: 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."
