Excerpt from The Real Issue, Union or Disunion: Letter of Hon. S. S. Marshall, on the Parties and Politics of the Day, to the Freemen of the Ninth Congressional District of Illinois Ans. Under its benign in¿uences, our growth and prosperity have been extraordinary and unparalleled, Every year of its duration has te'emed with fresh proof of its utility, and its blessings and with it our pt'rosplscts in the future are all that the heart of man can d'esire. But no patriot, who has read'the history of the past, can look the prospect of disunion in the face without a shudder of soul sickening horror. Those 'whd believe that these States can separate peacefully and without blood-shed and civil war, have given very little consideration to the history of our race. If we separate, it will be because feelings of hatred have been *engendered which are inconsistent with a state of peace. 'ifiwe cannot keep the peace under the high and holy sanctions @f the bonds made 'for us by our revolutionary fathers, what hope is there for us when those bonds'are broken tip and destroyed? And What will be the result of that war into which We must be precipitated? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
