Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Record of Hon.: C. L, Vallandigham on Abolition, the Union, and the Civil War This work offers, in a convenient form, the principal speeches of Hon. C. L. Vallandigham, on the Constitution, the Union, and the Civil War Extracts from other speeches are added; also, a variety of facts and incidents. The object is to furnish the means of forming a correct judgment in relation to a man who, through the malignant assaults of his enemies, and the esteem of his friends, has become one of the most generally talked of men of these times. This Record shows why Mr. Vallandigham has so many enemies, and all of one class - why negrophilistic fanaticism includes, as one of its essential qualities, an intense hatred of Vallandigham. This fact is explained by showing that, not only his six years in Congress, but his whole public life, has been a clear, uniform, and unequivocal expression of a deep and true love of his country, the Union, and that he has ever been among the foremost to stand by and defend its institutions and laws. In the darkest and most trying hours of the great national conflict, still pending, Mr. Vallandigham has never deviated a moment from the old and true principles of Democracy, whereby the Union was formed and preserved, and by which alone it can be saved from destruction, restored, and perpetuated. If his words and acts have been treason, then was the Government itself, through the whole period of its history, down to the inauguration of Mr. Lincoln, one continued act of treason. In common with all democratic and conservative statesmen, he had, before the commencement of the war, uniformly, maintained that the principles around which the Abolition party was organized, were hostile to the Union, and would endanger its peace and perpetuity, if permitted to get control. Those warnings were not heeded, and the fatal mistake was committed of placing in power men whose cherished principles were enemies of the Union. A deadly national conflict ensued; and then Mr. Vallandighan did differ from many in whom the people had reposed full faith and confidence.
