Rivers of Blood and the President's Threats in Reform Debate
A long excerpted editorial commentary criticizes the President and his allies, warns that if federalism disrupts elections the government could unleash “rivers of blood.” It denounces corruption, calls for virtue in office, and cites political alignments, conventions, and local party actions. It also reports on Rhode Island, Connecticut, and Virginia results, calls for a Western Pennsylvania convention to back Harrison, and notes county notices, railroad finance moves, and violent crime cases. It mentions Militia fines, a Van Buren postmaster, and various regional political developments.
