Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Proceedings of the First Three: Republican National Conventions of 1856, 1860 and 1864 Hon. Lewis Clephane, of Washington, D. C., has furnished the compiler with a pamphlet on the "Birth of the Republican Party," in which the claim is broadly made that the initiator proceedings towards the organization of the Republican party were commenced by the Republican Association of Washing-ton in 1855, and led up to the February convention in Pittsburg in 1856. The compiler does not assume thus to settle the question of origin, for there are several other claimants in a general way, for the honor; but he submits an abridgment of Mr. Clephane´s pamphlet as an introduction to the reports of the conventions that follow, for the very good reason that no other authentic record has been accessible, relative to the inauguration of the great Republican organization which carried the nation through a civil war, and preserved the Union of States, and which has administered the government for the greater part of the last thirty years. The Washington Republican Organization. On the 19th of June, 1855, a small club was organized in Washington and issued the following as its platform: Declaration, Platform And Constitution Of The Republican Association Of Washington, District Of Columbia. Whereas, by the repeal of the eighth section of the act for the admission of Missouri into the Union, the Territories of Kansas and Nebraska have been opened to the introduction of slavery, and all the compromises, real or imaginary, upon that subject, are thus violated and annulled, and deep dishonor inflicted upon the age in which we live: Now, therefore, in co-operation with all those throughout the land who oppose this and other similar measures, which we deem to be contrary to the spirit of the Constitution, and which are designed to extend and perpetuate slavery, we do associate ourselves together, under the name and title of The Republican Association Of Washington.
