How Can the Union Be Saved by Justice and Duty
A political address argues that the Union can only be saved through a full and final settlement on justice between North and South. It contends California must admit statehood via proper census, urges equal rights in acquired territories, and proposes constitutional amendments to protect the South while strengthening the national government. The speaker demands decisive action, warning that failure will force separation or force confrontation.
