Destruction of Parties Over Barnacles and Knaves
A satirical if florid defense of the Republican Party against critics who call for its destruction. The piece likens dissidents to a sailor eager to discard a ship for a few barnacles, argues for reform within the party, and praises past Republican gains while warning against moral bankruptcy. It references Gen John B Gordon, Alexander H Stephens, and issues in New Orleans politics and Reconstruction era debates.
