Opposition to Van Buren Policy and Harrison Support
A 1840 editorial argues Christians should repudiate public leaders who sanctioned bribery in the Webster–Van Buren treaty and the Indian removals. It advocates voting against those in power, supports Gen. Harrison, and condemns the administration for pursuing a forbidding western policy. It also attacks Van Buren’s finances and public works cuts, and defends Harrison as qualified.
