1511 - L. Mar. 24; ed:2/2 - "According to present indications there will be
four conventions within a few months.
"A convention of Union men at Baltimore, who will nominate the next
President of the United States; a convention of peace-Democrat Copperheads
at Chicago, who will nominate Wallandigham or George B. McClellan; a con-
vention of the Tammany war-Democrats, who will repudiate the whole litter
of Copperheads; and a convention at Cleveland, of fierce, uncompromising
Fremont men. These last three will not affect the decision of the Baltimore
convention, as that will represent the majority of the people both in civil
and military life." (3)

Index terms:

Baltimore, Md.; Chicago, Ill.; Copperheads; Fremont, General John C.; McClellan, George B.; Union; Union convention (Baltimore, Md.); Vallandigham, Clement L.

1513 - L. Sept. 7; ed:2/2 - The Cleveland WORLD says that the only difference
between Republican and Democratic parties is that the Republican party is
guided by a "moral sense." - . -
"It is true that the Union party has a 'moral sense' which the Democratic
has not, and unlike the Democratic party, when the South rebels against the
'moral sense' of the civilized world, and tries to destroy the fair fabric
of American civilization, the Union party believes that justice demands
that they shall suffer whatever injury their domestic institutions may in-
cur in progress of the war. The Union men of the North do not favor slavery
and in this respect, differ most decidedly from Democracy."" (5)

Cleveland WORLD (newspaper); Republican party; South; Union party
