15, [1]pp. 8vo. First edition. First edition. 15, [1]pp. 8vo. Scarce speech by Casserly, a noted early California newspaperman and politician, advocating to the Chairman of the Democratic County Committee a war Democrat, i.e. pro-Lincoln Unionist position, shortly after the start of the Civil War and just prior to the September elections. Casserly's speech laments the Democratic support given by the party to John R. McConnell in the gubernatorial election, suggesting in no uncertain terms that votes for McConnell amount to votes for Jefferson Davis. In the September 1861 election, with the Democrats in California split over secession, Republican supporters of Lincoln took control of the state house and Leland Stanford was elected governor.
