Northern victory claimed over compromise in Chronicls view
The chronicler argues the defeat of the compromise is a northern victory and a southern defeat. He cites national leaders like Clay, Cass, Webster, Dickinson, Cooper, Douglass, Sturgeon, Dodge, Bright, and Whitcombe as supporters, while aiming at southern extremists such as Yulee, Soule, Davis, Clemens, Mason, Hunter, Tourney and Senate factionists as opponents. The piece calls the compromise a national measure scorned by those who wish to shatter the Union.
