1564 - L. Sept. 22; ed: 2/1 - The pet phrase of Democratic orators and
newspapers is quite significant in one respect in that it ignores the
constitution. Heretofore, it has been a hobby with the opposition
that the constitution must be preserved, but it seems now that it is
not indispensable to them.
"This must be the result of an understanding made at Niagara Falls
by Copperheads, to the effect that the Montgomery Constitution should be
adopted, or a new one be made, better suited to the Democracy, North and
South." (4)
