Anti Nebraska Meeting in Rossville Draws Jeffersonian Democrats
The Delphi Journal reports a Saturday gathering of four or five hundred Jeffersonian Democrats in Rossville to condemn the Nebraska measure seen as a swindle. Speakers from Lafayette and Marion addressed the crowd as they pledged to oppose the bill and support Clinton county democracy in its old Jeffersonian form. Ellis of the Courier picked up about 50 new subscribers as proof of growing opposition and resolve to act, with Pettit cited advocating passage now to avert public approval.
