By Blair, Francis P. Jr.
Washington, D. C.: Buell & Blanchard, Printers, 1860. 14, [2 blanks] pp. Disbound, title leaf spotted. Good+.

Blair charges that the Slave Power is the "discordant element among our institutions which has destroyed the compact upon which it rested, carried civil war into the Territories, from which by agreement it was self-excluded, and now daringly threatens to crush the Union itself, unless permitted to command in the choice of a Chief Magistrate of the United States."
Blair denounces the Democratic Party, truly a 'Southern Rights' Party, now demanding that slaveowners have the right to bring their slaves anywhere in the country. Blair renders a detailed examination of the issues facing the country, their development, and a plea to shun disunionists of the South and abolitionists of the North-- both of whom wish to destroy the Union.
LCP 1256. Not in Bartlett or Dumond.
