2289 - L. Aug. 25; ed:2/1 - "Copperheads" are circulating petitions try-
ing to male the impression that the war was brought about by abolition-
ists, and inferring that Daniel Webster declared that "if abolitionists
get power in their hands, they will over-ride the constitution, change
and make laws to suit themselves, bankrupt the country, and deluge it
with blood."
"Webster made no such remarks, and to publish such a piece of lying
nonsense is a vile slander upon the memory of that great man."
Events that occurred before the inauguration of Lincoln show that
he war was started by Southern slave holders. Jeff Davis gave orders
to General Beaureguard to commence the war by firing on Fort Sumter, -
and then undertook to capture Washington. (17)
