Real Disunionism

Title

Real Disunionism

Subject

Republican Party (U.S. : 1854- )

Description

To prove his point, Editor Reed quotes several articles from the New York Tribune, that "Delphic oracle" for President Lincoln. He concludes by asserting that the "loyal and Union-loving people of Washington Territory" do not subscribe to such doctrines.

Summarizing the doctrine of republicanism, Editor Reed says it seeks to barbarously subjugate 10-15 States, after which slavery can be easily managed. In this political analysis, the Republicans - from the very outset of the war - intend to subjugate the South to abolish slavery.

Abstract

This Union Flag editorial argues that the Republican party is "the real disunion party of the country"; therefore, its candidate, Gov. [William] Wallace, should not be elected as territorial delegate.
