About this Item

16pp. Disbound, else Very Good. This pamphlet distances loyal Democrats from treasonous Copperheads, blasts the rebellion and slaveholders, and identifies the true Democratic Party with Douglas, Dickinson, and Jacksonian fidelity to the Union. Henry O'Reilly, who signs in type on page 2 as Secretary, was an Irish immigrant and enthusiastic promoter of internal improvements and reform projects. As DAB notes, he "was constantly advancing a cause." Here he stands four-square for the Union. Slavery, a cruel feudal system, is the obvious cause of the rebellion. "The seeds of rebellion are wanting in proportion to the absence of slavery." LCP 3034. See Bartlett 1290 [reference]. Seller Inventory # 31737
