Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An Address Delivered Before the National Union Association of Cincinnati: March 6, 1863
Let us not delude ourselves with the distracting and pernicious foolery which teaches that the country is to be saved, or can be saved, in some other way than by cc-operating with the existing administration in the work of subduing the Rebellion. There must be unity of action: and we can have no rallying centre for that unity except the constitutional authorities of the country. There must be a head and we can have no other head but the nation's Chief Magistrate and Commander. An army must fight under its general, whoever he may be, or not fight at all. There can be disgraceful surrender; there can be bloody mutiny; there can be cowardly desertion; but there can be no victory, except through cordial cc-operation with those in authority, and loyal Obedience to orders.
