Summary
"The book is a historical study of Pennsylvania politics from 1817 until 1832. It is divided into two parts: the first describes the social, economic and political life of the Commonwealth in 1817; the second tells a connected story of the political struggles in the state over a fifteen year period. This period constitutes a distinct era. It opens with the crumbling of old national party lines, develops through a decade of flux and disorder, and culminates in a social and political revolution which creates a new partisan division based on new national issues."

Summary
Writing during the presidential campaign of 1864, an unidentified Pennsylvanian writer speaks of the catastrophic implications of the election of General George McClellan who proposes making peace with the confederacy. The writer believes that a peace would not resolve the basic issue of maintaining the Union. He believes that the tensions that brought on the war would remain and would eventually break the Union apart.
