Democrats are accused of rejecting reconstruction "except upon the condition of the triumph of those who have been in rebellion." The Democratic ticket, led by Blair and Seymour, and its platform "are a declaration of renewal of the rebellion," resisting any attempt to protect the newly-won rights of freedmen and seeking to nullify the Acts of Reconstruction. Scarce, NUC recording only the Library of Congress copy.
