WILLIAMS ISSUES
ANTI-SLAVERY TIRADE AS HE ACCEPTS NEW YORK
GOVERNORSHIP |
Newly elected New York Governor Carl Williams
last night used an acceptance rally in the heart
of the city to issue a call for the immediate
abolition of Slavery within the Union. Governor
Williams addressed a crowd of several thousand
eager New Yorkers on a crisp, clear night in the
white glare of a full moon. UPP banners and
national flags rippled in the night breeze as he
spoke.
"People of New York, I stand before you
tonight humbled by your generosity and kindness
in electing me to this post. Rest assured that I
will fulfill the commitments I have made to you
to preserve our great Union intact, and
represent the citizens of this great city in
Congress.
"New York is a great city," Governor
Williams continued. "Its people, like almost all
those of the Union, are of humble demeanour and
compas- |
sionate nature.
However, there are unfortunately some few still
left here in the North who seem determined both
to stand in the way of progress and reform and
even to offer a measure of succor to our
misguided enemies in the South. These few
individuals are unfortunately hellbent in
preventing the reform of law and morality in
this great country, and specifically in
preventing the final abolition of the great evil
of Slavery."
The crowd seemed quiet, with only a
few lone cheers greeting the statement. All
seemed on tenterhooks waiting for the imminent
announcement.
"Because of this opposition to
reform," the Governor continued, "I believe
there is only one recourse. On the first day of
Congressional opening I will be pressing
President Mathena to adopt a newly drafted Bill
calling for the immediate, |
unilateral, Union-wide emancipation of all
Slaves in perpetuity and the abolition of the
institution of Slavery. In short, an
Emancipation Act."
The crowd began to cheer this
bold call for reform, and many hats were thrown
into the air as New Yorkers showed their
exuberance to match that of their newly elected
Governor.
"This will show the clearest
difference between the Union and the Rebels - a
difference of morals, and conviction. And that
those who stand in in the way of that conviction
will be consigned to where they belong - the trashbin of history!" Intemperate language
perhaps, but a sign that here is a Governor
whose views will loom large in the politics of
the Union henceforth.

Massamore
Wins Ohio

Jim Chafield
Wins Oregon
In Absentia
|
As he stood on the capitol steps in Columbus,
new Governor of Ohio, David "Eagle" Massa-more
couldn't help but to think about the war
 clouds
that are forming over his homestate, Kentucky.
As he rose to accept his new position, Massamore
pointed south and told the cheering crowd "We as
a nation have a n obligation to the Constitution
to make sure that our nation is not torn apart
by a minority whose interests are not those of
the majority. As many of you know, my native
Kentucky has been em |
-broiled in an internal
conflict with men who want to rip our country
apart. Yet, we must always remember the loud
voices are not what counts, its the many quiet
voices of the silent majority we represent.
Hopefully, cooler heads can prevail and conflict
avoided. If not , know that Ohio will lead the
way in fielding an army needed to preserve oue
beloved nation and Constitution." The swearing
in ceremony was attended by thou-sands
who remained after for the ceremonial ball .

Governor Jim Chafield of Oregon was still on the
campaign trail when the
 vote was counted. It is
hoped that someone will let him know he is
Governor when he returns. Chafield's laundry
list of campaign promises include:
1.) Admission of Oregon into the Union.
2.) Amusement Park to increase State Revenues
3.) Annexing the bordering Republic of Astoria.
...
...
153.) Telegraph Sex Tax.

Sporadic Fighting
in Missouri
|
|
Across Missouri, there were reports of sporadic
fighting among northern and southern
sympathizer. One male in Jefferson City was
hospitalized when a southern supporter on
horseback rode by and hit the victim in the head
with a saber. The man, reported to be a distant
relative of Governor Rice, is in stable
condition. The assailant, rumored to be Jesse
James—a transient from the southern part of the
state, escaped local militia. The word is that
Governor Ingram-the
shadow government leader to the confederacy, has
employed the goon. This among other incidents,
was commonplace around the state during voting.
Governor Ben Rice, has vowed to give no quarter
to any civil disobedience and will jail any
persons |
causing problems. The Gratiot Street
Prison, in St. Louis, has been expanded for any
influx of criminal activity. Governor Rice
stated that all militias are expected to report
their current strength and request for needed
equipment. Rice is expected to send a number of
units to federal control to support the Mathena administration in
the current crisis. During his victory speech,
Rice praised local Rick Wollmarker on for his
support.
Wollmarker is the Public Affairs Assistant to
the Union Preservation Party. Rice urged the
citizens to read the North Star
- a newspaper published by the UPP. The
journal is a fine source of the happenings
within our state and our country. As Rice
continued his explanation |
into a report that he is a puppet of
the UPP, a citizen through horse dung at the
governor. This is the second incident where our
state leader was pummeled by horse droppings.
During voting, Rice was struck by a passing
southern supporter with horse dung. As Rice was
escorted from the voting booth, he was quoted as
saying
"Well,
that is the only thing these hoodlums can
sling!!". In another incident, Jefferson City
reported strikes at the local shoe manufacturing
facility. The mayor, who is a UPP supporter, has
requested militia to put down the strike. As war
is imminent, the state of Missouri
- among the
rest of the country, is showing all the signs of
a showdown between the southern secessionists
and the northern loyalists. The only bright spot
is the leadership of Steve Mathena and the rest
of the incoming leaders of our government. It
will be on there shoulders to weather this
crisis. Hopefully, a peaceful resolution will be
found, the clouds of war are on the horizon.
