An eminent American . . .

. . . formerly a Democrat, who as for some time past resided in Europe, writes a letter from which we quote as follows:

“we are crazy if we preserve the status of slavery. I should as soon think of preserving a mad dog that had bitten and killed my children."

– Published in The Davenport Daily Gazette, Davenport, Iowa, Friday Morning, April 25, 1862, p. 2
