Snowden, a Pennsylvania Democrat who had served as State Treasurer in the mid-1840's, laments the horrors of Civil War and blames "the organization of a sectional party opposed to the constitutional compact between the States on the subject of negro slavery. Before the success of the Abolitionized Republicans produced the disruption of our political Union, the moral Union which heretofore existed was undermined and destroyed by the reckless and wicked course of the leaders of that party." He urges restoration of the Union as "established by Washington and maintained by Jackson."
