Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Southern Historian´s Appeal for Horace Greeley To the Editors of the Lynchburg Republican: The South, A Party For Herself. There are peculiar, very peculiar, reasons why the South should support Mr. Greeley for President of the United States; and I refer to them now, that it may be known that whatever the Democratic Convention, awaiting call, does, the South has reasons of her own to adhere to Mr. Greeley, and to endorse him with all possible unanimity. It is hardly possible that the Convention will repudiate Mr. Greeley; yet, for the present, not considering its action, I would notice here particularly Mr. Greeley´s claims upon the South, and the expectations she may found upon him as a candidate. Believe me it is the grand opportunity of the South; and it arouses me even out of the tedium and incapacity of an invalid, (a moribund for nearly two years), to resume a pen which, for offices at least of the newspaper, I had thought to have consigned to rust, and to charge it with words of counsel and entreaty to my countrymen. I am at pains to explain, in the outset, the standpoint from which I write: - the interests of the South as the South. It is a higher inspiration than a partisan one in which I would express myself, and ask the participation of my Southern countrymen. A Democrat myself, I yet deprecate the too complete identification of the South with the Democratic party; and I believe that, on some occasions, the South has interests distinct enough and large enough to constitute a party for herself - a new autonomy in the politics of the country. The allegiance of the South to the Democratic party is at best but slight, and holds but by a mended and frayed strand. It was disrupted by the late war. Since that interval, which was not only a complete fissure, but an exasperated breach, the party tie of the South has been knitted up again, only in the most loose and accidental manner. The South does not forget that she was prompted into the last disastrous war by the Democratic party, and then deserted by it.
