The War Powers of the President, and the Legislative Powers of Congress in Relation to Rebellion, Treason and Slavery.

The Constitution of the United States, as declared in the preamble, was ordained and established by the people, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquillity, provide for the common defence, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to themselves and their posterity. HOW IT HAS BEEN VIOLATED. A handful of slave-masters have broken up that Union, have overthrown justice, and have destroyed domestic tranquillity. Instead of contributing to the common defence and public welfare, or securing the blessings of liberty to themselves and their posterity, they have waged war upon their country, and have attempted to establish, over the ruins of the Republic, an aristocratic government founded upon Slavery.
