1541 - L July 21:2/1 - Democratic congressman of Pennsylvania, Ohio, and
Indiana issued a manifesto written by Senator Buckalew of Pennsylvania.
The charges, among other things, are that the government interfered with
clections. They denounced conscription and the bounty system, regarded
the government as oppressive, insecure, and corrupt, and demanded that the
races should be kept unmixed.
The sum of the whole matter is: "The defeat of Mr. Lincoln removes the
main obstacle to reunion and restores at once the jusst rule of the Constitu-
tion over the adhering states. This analysis speaks for itself." (11)
