The Peril of the Republic of the United States of America - Percy T. Magan

And further, in view of the revived discussion
of the “race problem,” since slavery is an
undisturbed institution in one corner of the territory
under the jurisdiction of the United States, what
assurance is there that slavery will not be
established, yea, and re-established, in other places
“subject to their jurisdiction”? Will the sun upon
the dial of the nation’s day be set back where it
stood before the mighty conflict of ‘61? With
sadness we turn from the contemplation of this
checkered spectacle of a great nation whose
beginnings were in so much glory, but whose latter
day must be in so much shame.
