Book excerpt: Excerpt from Facts and Suggestions, Biographical, Historical, Financial, and Political: Addressed to the People of the United States The chief purpose of this volume is to state, briefly, the origin and progress of the conflict of interest and of opinion which superinduced the late civil war; that a knowledge of the past may have its proper influence on the future. If, as I believe, the organization of a sectional Northern party, for the purpose of a corrupt, sectional, political control of the government, in violation of the fundamental principles of the Constitution, necessarily led to the organization of a Southern party, in defence of the interest and principles which it was the purpose of that Northern party to assail and subvert; - then, if the civil war was the consequence of that conflict, the censure should rest on the men, who, by organizing a sectional Northern party for the purpose of aggression, compelled the counter organization of a Southern party in defence of the rights, interests, and principles thus assailed; and the fact that Mr. Lincoln was elected by less than a majority of votes given, and that, availing themselves of the power of the Federal government thus accidentally obtained, that Northern party, not content with the emancipation of Southern slaves, now seek to deprive the Southern States of the political rights guaranteed to them by the Constitution, and would enforce alterations of the Constitution, because they know that without such alterations they cannot retain the political control of the government, makes it the duty of the whole people to inquire into the motives which actuate that minority, who, having thus brought upon the country the calamity of civil war, are exerting their influence to prevent the restoration of peace. One purpose of this volume is to demonstrate that it is the duty of the whole country to harmonize in a common effort to restore the Union, on the basis of our common interests, and with this view I have endeavored to demonstrate that a wise use of the public credit, stimulating our industrial progress, as, by an abundant and cheap currency, we may do, will enable us successfully to compete with all other rival nations, in the markets of the world, and especially in the markets of the Pacific and of Asia.
