ADDRESS OF DR. A.P. DOSTIE, DELIVERED BEFORE THE REPUBLICAN ASSOCIATION OF NEW ORLEANS, MAY 9, 1866.
[New Orleans? 1866]. 14, [2 blanks] pp. Caption title as issued. Neatly disbound. Very Good. Inscribed in pencil at head of title, "Respects of M. Hahn."
The 'Democratic' party "disgraces that name by denouncing human equality and the imprescriptable rights of man which embrace immortal liberty and impartial justice." Democrats are "striving to re-establish a detestable and odious Slave Oligarchy."
Michael Hahn, who signed this pamphlet, was a German Jewish immigrant to New Orleans. He owned the 'True Delta' newspaper, opposed secession, and supported Emancipation. He was elected Governor of Union-occupied Louisiana, by which time he had become an Episcopalian.
