The Corruption of Every Department of State War and Peace
A partisan broadside condemns the Lincoln administration as corrupt across the War Navy Treasury and State departments. It blames Mr Lincoln and Stanton for stopping enlistments to boost reelection prospects and calls for Democratic victory to end the war and restore the Union. It argues Southern forces may adopt defense until the Democrats regain power and guarantees are offered. The piece urges northern voters to eject perceived corrupt public servants and elect constitutional defenders to end the conflict.
