Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Speeches of Maj. Wm; A. Stokes, U. S. Army, and Hon. Edgar Cowan, U. S. Senate: Delivered at the Union Convention, Westmoreland County, Pa; September, 1861
Give the Executive a fair chance, by yielding your hearty sup port; do not madly commit political suicide, by permitting minor considerations of detail to obstruct the gigantic efforts of a great people to free themselves from the grasp of a serpent which, while the Nation slept in supposed security, has coiled its slimy folds around the body of the State; and is ready to crush it in its corrupt embrace, while striking to the Vitals its poisonous fangs.
