The Federal Union.--It Must Be Preserved. Number One.
N.p. N.p., n.y., [1856]. Paperback. Small 4to. Self-cover. 8pp. Very good. Slight overall age toning, mainly to outer wrappers; occasional light foxing. Item #13528
Interesting compilation of extracts from Congressional speeches "by Southern members, in which is avowed the purpose... of dissolving the Union and overturning the existing Federal Government." Slavery and the fugitive slave law crop up often, and the troubled author concludes: "The shadows, sir, of the COMING STORM already darken our pathway. It will soon be upon us WITH ALL ITS FURY." Not in Sabin.
