New York Times - Times Machine ^ | 11/6/1860

[Homer_J_Simpson]

Special Dispatch to the New-York Times. COLUMBIA, Monday, Nov. 5. The Governor, in his message to the Legislature, recommends, in view of the probable election of LINCOLN, that they remain in session until the result is known, and that they then take such action as will prepare South Carolina to meet the emergency. He thinks the only alternative left is the secession of South Carolina from the Union. He strongly recommends such action, and declares that no power on earth can rightfully prevent it. He also recommends that the military force of the State be reorganized, and that it be put in a position to be available at the shortest notice. He further recommends that the services of one thousand volunteers be immediately accepted. The message is well received by all classes. Z.

“Treason in Washington”

History may not repeat, but it does rhyme. The RINOs and marx-o-crats are committing treason.

[M Kehoe]

The die has been cast, it is war.

And all (most) of the manufacturing of war material was in the north. With a bigger population.

Just saying.
