Illinois Union and Dissolution Threats Stir Response
The South is urged to stand firm against abolition and disunion threats in Illinois politics. Editors warn that Wilmot Proviso and anti slavery measures have split the state’s Whigs from Democrats, urging Union loyalty, nonintervention on territorial issues, and repudiation of abolitionist tactics in Congress as danger grows. The piece cites Omaha and Southern papers, calls for union meetings, and notes ongoing Senate maneuvers and expected actions by Webster, Foote, Calhoun, and general Taylor.
