Fragment from a Dover area paper recounts a political dispute involving Know Nothing editors and Democratic critics. It describes threats and a mob attack on a Dover residence, sheriff mobilization, and resistance by locals, with defenses of Democratic loyalty and charges of political coercion.
The piece argues Know Nothing critics attack Democrats personally while failing to defend their party or principles. It claims opposition aims to sow dissension, asserts Democrats should be judged by voters, and notes past congress nominations from Know Nothings were rejected by U S District Attorney and Attorney General.
A defense against a protectionist attack on Senator Bayard over his Kansas stance. The piece accuses the opponent of misrepresentation and secrecy, denying claims of laboring through a full column and questioning the demand for Bayard’s position. It contends only a short summary was given and questions the right to require public views from Bayard and other Democrats.
The writer rebuts a US Senator's critics who claim ignorance in youth and language.
