What Has the Party in Power Done and What is the Result
The Hartford Times declares the party in power violated planks of its platform, wasted national resources, trampled state rights and civil liberties, increased public debt, and comforted vengeance and proscription. It cites dismissal of patriotic generals, suppression of peacediers, and oppression of border states, warning of division and bleak prospects with Lincoln’s reelection. The piece questions the nation’s future and the fate of the Union amid a divided country.
