Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Noonday Exigencies in America: With an Appendix, to Be Read in Advance of the Text, in the Perusal of These Pages, by All Such Inattentive Persons as May Have Been, Some Years Ago, in the Habit of Reading With Eyes Askant
Very soon, indeed, must we have a complete change for the better in'the administration of all our public affairs, or else in less than ten years from to-day seven eighths of our people will have fallen victims to a worse tyranny than that which has recently driven and is still driving millions of good men from the monarchical and military despotisms of the Old World. For this seriously unfortunate condition of things among us I hold that both of the political parties now in existence - the pro-negro Radical party and the pro slavery Democratic party - are about equally responsible; and I hold further, that, since the deplorable death of the Republican party by vile absorption into the Radical ranks nearly three years ago, there has not been in the United States any party worthy of the support of those vast multitudes of our countrymen in every section of the Union who are controlled by enlightened sentiments and upright motives. Profoundly impressed with this conviction, I have elaborated my views upon the subject in a paper entitled The Necessity for the Formation, and Suggestions for some of the Bases, of a New Political Party.
