A writer argues that disunion favors the South and that Northern abolitionists and clergy threaten the Union. He contends the North fears negroes, predicts southern rise and Cuba’s fall, and urges framing the debate as the “Negro question” rather than slavery. He mocks abolitionists and calls for decisive action to preserve the Union.
