I submit to you, my fellow-citizens, whether such a line of policy is consistent with the peace and harmony of the Country? Can the Union endure under such a system of policy? He has taken his position in favor of sectional agitation and sectional warfare.
It was out of keeping with Hayes's record, and with his later performances, but he let the campaign take its way, and the sectional temper that was roused provided the atmosphere in which the next act of the drama was played. Election day came: the returns indicated the election of Tilden; Democrats went to bed jubilant and Republicans regretful.
"Well, this is good of you," he said, and reached out his hand across the spread. I took it, and sat down beside the shiny oak bedstead, in a chair covered with tobacco-colored plush. "You feel better?" I asked. "Oh, I feel all right," he answered, with a smile. "It's queer, but I do." My eye fell upon the long line of sectional book-cases that lined one side of the room.
A fearful responsibility rests on every citizen who, by his vote or his acts, aids in the first triumph of a party whose creed and whose men are sectional. On that rock will the Union, if ever, be wrecked, and towards that rock it is rapidly drifting now. I ask again, where does the real National Democratic party of the people, headed by Douglas, now stand on the question of slavery?
To them Lincoln was not only a democrat who believed in the equality of men before the law; he was also a "black Republican," the head of a sectional party whose platform bespoke sectional interests and the isolation of the South. In the end Lincoln received a popular vote slightly greater than that of Buchanan in 1856, and the electoral vote of every State from Maine to Iowa and Minnesota.
Figs. 14 and 15 are the front and sectional elevation of one of the boilers of the U.S. steamer Water Witch. For land purposes the lowest range of tubes is generally omitted, and the smoke makes a last return beneath the bottom of the boiler. Figs. 17 and 18 are the transverse and longitudinal sections of a tubular boiler, built in 1837 by R.L. Stevens for the steamboat Independence.
Steam engine models, now so common, were exceedingly scarce in those days, and very difficult to be had; and as the demand for them arose, I found it both delightful and profitable to make them; as well as sectional models of steam engines, which I introduced for the purpose of exhibiting the movements of all the parts, both exterior and interior.
In the eyes of the world and of posterity how trivial and insignificant will be all our internal divisions and struggles compared with the preservation of this Union of the States in all its vigor and with all its countless blessings! No patriot would foment and excite geographical and sectional divisions. No lover of his country would deliberately calculate the value of the Union.
Soon after the Democratic convention, the People's party and the Silver party met in St. Louis. Both nominated Bryan for the presidency, and thereafter the Democrats and the Populists made common cause. At the opening of the campaign, then, it was evident that class and sectional hatreds would enter largely into the contest.
An analysis of the distribution of the vote on the Alien bill shows that these presses, although located in the Northern and Central States, were supported by the Southern people. Perhaps the sectional tendency of the vote should be considered as indicative of the loss of the Southern States to the Administration and prophetic of the support which individualism was to receive from that section.
