Title

For Delegate to Congress, Arthur A. Denny: The Union Platform Adopted by the People in Territorial Convention, April 4th 1865

Subject

Republican Party (U.S. : 1854- )

Description

Platform says it supports "The lawful authority of the only free government on earth," that slavery "is dead and buried beyond all power of resurrection," that it approves of the constitutional amendment by which "slavery is utterly and forever abolished," and that the states "are subordinate to the General Government of the United States of America" and "the allegiance due to the United States is paramount to all other considerations."

On page 1 is a Q-and-A purporting to show that it is the Democrats, not the Republicans, who are radicals on such issues as the use of black soldiers. (Reprinted from the Portland Daily Press.)
