About this Item
64pp. Stitched. Title leaf with some fox spots; last leaf with a small hole affecting 5-6 letters [in lists of Executive Committee and Members]. Good+. Democrats oppose continuation of the War, pledge to end it by negotiation, denounce President Lincoln for butchery, and oppose his curtailment of civil liberties. "After more than two millions of men have been called into the field, on our side alone, after the land has been literally drenched in fraternal blood, and wailings and lamentations are heard in every corner of our common country, the hopes of the Union, our cherished people, are in no wise improved." Prominent Copperheads-- Governor Seymour, Clement Vallandigham, August Belmont-- participate. Delegates, Committees, speeches, balloting for President and Vice President are recorded. General McClellan's acceptance speech, asserting that preservation of the Union is the only permissible war aim, is printed. Unlike other delegates, McClellan emphasizes that peace can only occur "on the basis of the Union under the Constitution. But no peace can be permanent without Union." Howes C370.
