Crisis and its Demands from Col Forney in Washington
Col Forney argues the nation faces a revolutionary challenge to government, science, law, and society driven by slavery. He says radicals may heal the Constitution only by harsh measures against traitors and rebels, urging Democrats to support decisive action and subjugation or extinction of foes to preserve the Republic. Lincoln’s warnings to Border States are cited as signs of the times.
