1 E. S. Taylor, Anarchy vs. Order, the Issue of the Hour 1 (1866)

handle is hein.slavery/achvoh0001 and id is 1 raw text is: ANARCHY vs. ORDER, The Issue of the Hour. ADDRESS OF E. S. TAYLOR, ESQ., AT OLNEY, ILL., SEPTEMBER 15, 1866. FELLOW CITIZENS: We are again launched on the political tide,-engaged in a ,canvass unparalleled in importance by any campaign of the past. Anarchy vs. Order is the issue of the hour. The barbarism of earlier centuries as illustrated in the shackles, the slave pen and the whipping post, arrayed against the civilization and en- lightenment of the century. On these issues the republican party triumphed in 1860 and elected Mr. Lincoln president; war was then inaugurated, and Mr. Lincoln encountered a more formidable opposition than was ever before raised against a government; graver duties and more weighty responsibilities were never imposed upon any adminis- tration than those with which our chief executive and congress were charged. The authority of government was defied and the assertion of the sublime principle, that the people rule was denied, ani a re- bellion incited, bloodier than any which had crimsoned history. The nation was divided into three parties,-the Union men lending their invincible aid to the administration, the rebels of the South aided by their sympathizing and cowardly allies of the North, while the third party were the throbbing millions who were wearily, but hopefully, waiting for deliverance.
