Political fever sweeps 1856 race across states
The column compiles frazzled factional takes from Kansas to Maine. Gov Geary’s arrests of free state men spark protest while militia drafts draw government rations. Belfast Free Press proclaims Hamlin’s Virginia, Pennsylvania and New England results favor heavy anti Buchanan momentum with Fremont leading in Philadelphia print. Local notes include election chatter, newspaper shifts, and curious town anecdotes.

Admission of Kansas stateship and slavery stance
A 1856 correspondence reveals Judge Crawford and Mrs Washburn on the admission of Kansas as a state with a constitution permitting slavery, while Washburn states he would not vote for further slave state admissions. The Charleston Telegraph critique and notes on industrial craft and local insurance, fires, and a Nebraska census round out the period’s mixed reportage.
