Book excerpt: Excerpt from Professor Laborlaye the Great Friend of America, on the Presidential Election For the Union, for America, it is a question of Life or Death. Mr. Lincoln represents a policy the most compact. It is comprised in two words: Maintenance of the Union, the abotion of slavery, all the rest is merely accessory, and can easily be modified according to circumstances. Mr. McClellan protests his devotion to the Union, his desire to re-establish concord and peace; but these are general phrases which conceal the real thought of the party. At bottom, the policy of McClellan is not less defined than that of his rival. To him who knows how to construe the device on his banner, it means - Re-establishment of Union such as may be, Slavery continuing a domestic question, that is slavery continuing. To end a bloody strife and restore peace by replastering at whatever cost the old edifice of the Union, such are the promises of the General; they are not dazzling; one must reckon upon the miseries of prolonged war; on the sufferings of trade on the weariness of men's spirits, to venture to propose to the American People conditions so depressing. They would not have been offered two years ago. But even these promises moderate as they may be, the General, become President', will not be able to fulfill. The force of events will be more powerful than the dream of a candidate. Without the gift of phophecy it may be affirmed that Mr. McClellan will not control the freshet he desires to let loose. The success of the General is the upholding of Slavery; and the upholding of Slavery is the abdication of the North and the triumph of the South. There is the danger that menaces the Union. For all friends of America and of freedom, it is a duty to point this out. Why does the South secede? Is it on a question of tariffs - a difference of race, or of creed? No; all these fine pretences have been imagined to blind Europe, and those who invented them have been the first to laugh at our credulity. During thirty years or more the South has ruled the Union, It is the policy of the South that has been the policy of the United States; there have been no Presidents but those who have had the support of the South. How is it that the South has been able to wield this preponderant influence? The answer is easy. The South has strengthened itself through one of the parties existing at the North.
