Answers:
- How should your party address the slavery issue during this campaign?I had hoped that popular sovereignty would resolve the slavery issue, but the intransigence of the Southern bolters has convinced me otherwise. I now believe that slavery must not be permitted in any new state or territory.
- What do you have to say about the merits of your running mate, Horatio Seymour?I'm proud to share a ballot with Horatio Seymour of New York.
- What is your opinion on the formation of fusion tickets in the Northern states to consolidate the anti-Lincoln vote?This is no time for false pride. Let's do what we can to build a fusion ticket where that action makes sense, and worry about the rest when we get to it.
