Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from America for Free Working Men: Mechanics, Farmers and Laborers Read "Speaking form myself, slavery is to me the most repugnant of all human institutions. No man alive should hold me in slavery; and if it is my business no man, with my consent, shall hold another. Thus I voted in 1851, in Ohio, with my party, which made the new constitution of my own State. I have never defended slavery; nor has my party." Speech of Hon. S. S. Cox of Ohio, in the House of Representatives, Jan. 12, 1865. Mr. Brooks, of New York, in defending slavery, "did not pretend to speak for the democratic party. Indeed, he does not profess to speak for it, but rather as an old line Whig, having now his views independent of all machines of party. During the last session he held that slavery was dead. Gentlemen should not object to his eulogizing the deceased, but by so doing he does not intend, nor does he if he intends commit any democrat to his moral convictions." Speech of Hon. S. S. Cox, of Ohio, in the House of Representatives. Jan. 12, 1865. "The democratic party of the free states are neither the advocates nor the apologists fur slavery. Democracy and slavery are natural enemies. Impressed with the value of free labor, there is not a democrat in the North who would not resist the establishment of slavery in a free state." Speech of Hon. William S. Holman, of Indiana, in the House of Representatives, Jan. 13, 1865. "I have ever believed slavery wrong. The North have always believed it. Hardly one can at present be found who will claim that slavery is now, or has ever been, other than an evil.
