Scope and Content

From the Collection:

This collection contains printed copies of an address to the Constitutional Union Party of Georgia and a letter from John William Augustine Sanford Jr. to a "Dr. L. F. W. Andrews." The address to the Constitutional Union Party of Georgia was written by the executive committee, announcing the dissolution of the party. It stated that the political goals of the party had succeeded, and therefore the party no longer had a purpose. Members of the executive committee urged party members to support "Pierce and King" in the upcoming election. The letter from Sanford is in response to a newspaper article written by the recipient about the dissolution of the Constitutional Union Party of Georgia. Sanford wants the party reestablished and says that he cannot support men who do not support the Union, giving "Freesoilers" and "Southern Seceders" as examples.
