Rebellion Record: a Diary of American Events, Diary from December 17, 1860 - April 30, 1864 (ed. Frank Moore), 1863, September (search)
September 29. The Cincinnati Enquirer of this day contained the following: It is now stated that a bill has been prepared and will be placed before the next Congress, declaring Lincoln President while the war lasts. Thus the mad fanatics are plotting against our liberties, and if we do not speak right soon through the ballot-box, the last vestige of our republican government will have been swept away. The gunboat Bombshell, Captain Brinkerhoff, left Newbern a few days ago, under sealed orders, and made a reconnoissance of Pasquotank River, which empties into Albemarle Sound. Landing a boat's crew near Elizabeth City, the men were captured by rebels, when Captain Brinckerhoff opened a vigorous fire on the town, doing considerable damage.--A slight skirmish took place at Moor's Bluff on the Big Black River, Miss., resulting in the retreat of the Union forces.--A battle took place at Morganza, La.--(Doc. 177.)

Calhoun—Nullification explained. by Colonel Benjamin E. Green, of Dalton, Ga. During Mr. Buchanan's administration, before the slave-holding States proposed to withdraw peaceably, rather than wait to be expelled from the confederation, a State Disunion Convention met at Worcester, Massachusetts. It was composed of men who subsequently became the controlling element of the party which elected Mr. Lincoln President and abolished slavery by force of arms. They adopted the following platform: Resolved, That the meeting of a State Disunion Convention, attended by men of various parties and affinities, gives occasion for a new statement of principles and a new platform of action. Resolved, That the cardinal American principle is now, as always, liberty, while the prominent fact is now, as always, slavery. Resolved, That the conflict between this principle of liberty and this fact of slavery has been the whole history of the nation for fifty years, while the only result of th

Lincoln President for life. --The N. Y. Sunday Mercury, of the 20th ult., publishes a letter from a Washington correspondent, who says that it has been determined to postpone the next Presidential election until after the suppression of the rebellion and the restoration of the Union. The reason he assigns for this hold movement is, that the Constitution requires all the States to vote, and that in the present condition of the country it is impossible to comply with the requirement. Thus Lincoln is President for life, with powers fully as absolute as those of Alexander H. or Napoleon III. The next step will be to make the office hereditary in his family, after which he may assume the imperial crown as soon as he may think proper. What luck for a rail-splitter. Sylla. Cæsar. Cromwell, and Napoleon, were accounted lucky men in their day, but their good fortune was sheer adversity compared to that of old Abe. They were all great men, and won their way to empire with their swor

ray, where would Mr. Lincoln have been without the support of the Radicals in 1860? They made him President, and because they like a little more liberty of speech and of the press — a little more honesty and consistency — they, too, are called Copperhead. In calling names, in partisan abuse, the Times is entitled to-day to the honors of being at the head of the profession. If the Radicals are Copperheads, pray what are they who coalesced and cohabited with these Radicals in making Mr. Lincoln President? The New York Sun, in speculating upon the Presidential question, says: "The importance of the nomination depends entirely on the events that may transpire during the next three or four months. If Gen. Grant is successful, he will be the next President, if he chooses, other candidates to the contrary notwithstanding. Should he fall, contrary to all reasonable expectation, Fremont will then loom up in large proportions, and the real contest will be between him and the repre
