Speech by Governor condemns fanaticism in party politics
Governor assails fanatics who preside at the birth of the republican party and teach a higher law against local self government. He argues secession and conquest were caused by fanaticism, holds northern and southern sides to blame, and urges God to judge between us in the division over union versus states rights. He laments usurpation and praises restrained leadership. The address contrasts Lincoln era with current party actions and cites battles and colonial leaders to condemn current overreach. The passage also includes an endorsement of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy by a Bedford county merchant, noting its claimed savings on doctor bills.
