Excerpt from Union Disunion Reunion; Three Decades of Federal Legislation; 1855 to 1885, Personal: Personal and Historical Memories of Events Preceding, During, and Since the American Civil War, Involving Slavery and Secession, Emancipation and Reconstruction, With Sketches of Prominent Actors During These Periods It is said by a translator of Thucydides, that the sources from which the ancient historian gathered his narrative are very dissimilar to those at the disposal of the modem historian. The first were meagre and oral, the latter are often overwhelming to the compiler by the very mass of materials. Writers like Thucydides had certain aids, such as statues, buildings, columns from sepulchres, decrees of state, and traditions, but few written data comparable with modem libraries. The author of this volume, unlike the ancient recorder, has had no need to draw upon his imagination in order to depict events, or give eloquence to his characters. He has had access to a multitude of books and other recorded evidences bearing upon his theme. He has also been quite near to the contending forces and persons, and in the very midst of many of the events which he narrates. He has written within reach of the Library of Congress, with its vast stores of material. He has had the same freedom of access to the House Library, and to collections of legislative and executive documents. No fact has been stated upon doubtful authority. All important statements have been made in the language of official reports of the executive departments of the government, of congressional investigating committees, of the witnesses examined before congressional or legislative committees, or of the proceedings of the state conventions and legislatures. In cases of conflicting testimony, the statements of witnesses or parties on each side have been considered or cited. No inference prejudicial to private character or public conduct has been drawn which has not been accompanied by indisputable facts. In the preparation of portions of this work the writer has had the assistance of gentlemen with whom he is more or less associated in and out of Congress, and without whose aid he could not speak with such absolute certainty as to some of its verities.

The Real Issue Union Or Disunion (Classic Reprint) available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Excerpt from The Real Issue Union or Disunion Fellow-Citizens: We are rapidly approaching the close of the most extraordinary session of Congress known to the history of our country, and the most important epoch in our country's destiny. I know that you have not been indifferent spectators of the scenes transpiring around us. I know that with that love of the Union which is among the most cherished sentiments of your hearts, you have heard with deep solicitude those wild cries of disunion, anarchy, and civil war which have been sweeping over your beautiful prairies and carrying consternation to the remotest corners of the republic. Fellow-citizens, as your representative, I occupy the position of a sentinel for you here, and it is your right to have a faithful report from me, in regard to everything pertaining to your interests; and as far as my humble abilities will enable me to give such report, you shall have it. I hope to see you all soon, but the condition of my health will not permit me to be among you as soon as I could desire, and I am therefore called upon, by an imperative sense of duty, to address you now in this manner. On almost any other occasion, I would say something in regard to my own course as your representative, but when the destiny of a great nation is at stake, the conduct, or even the fate, of so humble an individual as myself is a matter of very small moment. I will therefore for the present leave my official acts to be interpreted and explained by the official records of the House of which I am a member. You know that I am not a bitter partisan, and would not intentionally deceive you or give the alarm of danger when 1 know there was none. Always a Democrat, I have often met the old Whig party in honorable combat, but never with denunciation of its virtuous members or patriotic purposes, and have always numbered in its ranks many of my most cherished friends. But the clarion voice of Clay is now hushed in the silence of death, and the lofty brow of Webster has bowed to the tyranny of the grave. The same earth which gave a final resting-place to Jefferson, and Madison, and Jackson, has also taken to her bosom all that was mortal of the gallant Clay, and the God-like Webster. The flag of the party which they loved no longer floats on the field of combat, new and fearful issues have been sprung upon us, and the public mind is agitated, and rocking to and fro like the surging billows of the ocean.
