About This Item
[New York: Young Men's Fremont and Dayton Central Union, 1856. 4pp, disbound, Good+.
Reeder, former Governor of the Kansas Territory, having been appointed by President Pierce, soon became disgusted with voting frauds perpetrated by the proslavery faction there. He was thus estranged from the Pierce Administration; during 1856 he actively supported Fremont, the Republican Party's first presidential candidate. He says that "the border-ruffians of Missouri and their accomplices of the South have trampled upon the constitution and all the essential principles of our government, robbed Kansas of its civil liberty and right of suffrage, laid waste its territory with fire and sword, and repudiated even civilization itself."
Also included in this piece is then-War Secretary Marcy's 1846 report on Fremont's admirable conduct during the Mexican War.
