Election of 1876:

THE NEW CONSPIRACY. WHAT IS MEANT BY THE RESTORATION OF THE CONFEDERATE DEMOCRACY TO POWER- THE VITAL ISSUES OF 1876 CONSIDERED.

[Washington? 1876]. 8pp, caption title [as issued], printed in double columns, disbound. Good+.

A Republican campaign pamphlet praising Reconstruction and denouncing the South's "pernicious heresies," particularly those of Calhoun, Jefferson Davis, Slidell, and Yancey. The Confederate "was indoctrinated with a measure of political poison which the fire of battle intensified and consecrated rather than destroyed." Southerners have never given up "the Lost Cause." To entrust them and their supporters with the reins of government would amount to "compensation for past treason."
