Edgefield and Barnwell Opposition to Mr Bacon in 1810 Letter
A Carolinian asserts in Augusta Chronicle letters opposing Edmund Bacon’s congressional bid in Edgefield Barnwell and Beaufort. The missive rebukes a Columbian Centinel editor who praises Bacon and attacks Gen. Butler, urging proof of Bacon’s republican fidelity and opposition to Adams era policies. It discusses Bacon's prior moves, political alignments, and the need for clear records of his principles. The letter critiques demagogic rhetoric and defends Butler’s long service and standing.
