THE RECORD OF HON. COL. VALLANDIGHAM ON ABOLITION, THE UNION AND THE CIVIL WAR

Rare, limited stock…His views/speeches never deviated from the old and true principles of Democracy, and maintained that the principles around which the Abolition Party was organized, were hostile to the Union, and would endanger its peace and perpetuity, if permitted to get out of control. His warnings were not heeded and the fatal mistake was committed of placing in power men whose cherished principles were enemies of the Union.
