If you cannot answer the questions directly, then we must proceed no further. I believe wizard answered the question I addressed to you in 75. Do you agree with the assessment in 75?

[republicanwizard]

No man can be a Republican who does not adhere to those principles on which the Party was founded. If the Republican Party turns it back on its past and becomes a supporter of secession and slavery, then one of us must leave. If necessary, it will be me.

You will not taint this party with the blood of traitors.

You will not destroy this party with the language of nullification and interposition.

You will not speak for this party with the rhetoric of the slaveowners.

You will not replace the sword of Washington with the whip of the slave driver.

You will not pervert our principles of man's equality.

You will not imbue the party with malice and hatred.
