Maine politics and the 1856 September election
Dexter writer analyzes the Maine state race with Democratic unity against “black republicans” led by Kent and Fessenden. He praises straight whigs, notes campaign events, press biases, and a forthcoming mass meeting with speakers including J. P. Benjamin and Howell Cobb. The piece laments temperance faction tensions and criticizes local papers.
