The Washington correspondent for Cincinnati Commercial portrays James M. Ashley of Toledo as a towering but controversial figure. He traces Ashley from November 1824 birth through early ventures in Mississippi trade, law studies, and editorial stints, noting repeated failures and shifting careers before his eight years in Congress. The piece likens Ashley’s stubborn self-promotion to Douglas and Douglas-like scrutiny, describing a volatile reception in Congress and persistent rivalries from colleagues such as Schentk and Stevens.
