60, 19, [1 blank] pp. Disbound without wraps, Good+. Organized by Thomas Wentworth Higginson, the Convention was triggered by the constant irritations of the Fugitive Slave Law's enforcement in Massachusetts as well as by the election to the presidency of James Buchanan, a Pennsylvania Democrat dominated by his Party's southerners. Like the Hartford Convention in an earlier generation, the Disunion Convention believed "the existing Union to be a failure, as being a hopeless attempt to unite under one government two antagonistic systems of society, which diverge more widely with every year." Attendees, speeches, proceedings are reported, including passionate Addresses by Higginson and William Lloyd Garrison, who calls the Constitution a "covenant with death and agreement with hell." Work and Dumond incorrectly collate only the final 19 pages. Dumond 80. Work 302. Sabin 45950.
