More from John Sherman
But some of you may say, all this is very well, but what will you do to save the Union?
What a pity, he said, it would have been if so great a country as the United States had been disrupted on account of slavery.
Resolved, That the Democratic party will resist all attempts at renewing in Congress, or out of it, the agitation of the slavery question, under whatever shape or color the attempt may be made.
God forbid that the despots of the Old World should ever adorn their infernal logic by pointing to a disrupted Union here!
