Illinois and Kansas political clashes fill a crowded Alton page
The Alton Courier reports tumult over Whittfield’s claim to a Kansas delegate seat, Congress debates slavery expansion, and Governor Reeder argues for federal action. Mentioned are Missouri's admission as a slave state, the Free State controversy, and local rail and road funding tied to Alton and Illinois enterprises. The piece cites speeches, memorials, and editorials reflecting tense national politics and local civic concerns.
