Senator Douglas Letter on Union and War
The letter from a friend of Senator Douglas, written May 10 in Canton, argues that compromise with the Cotton States failed and war was forced by secession. It calls for loyal support of the Constitution and Union, cites Clay and Webster as examples, and urges citizens to rally to defend the government against rebellion. It also discusses Lincoln’s policies, suspension of habeas corpus, and the need to defeat treason with unity across parties.

Harrison declines Democratic nomination for Lieutenant Governor
Letter from Hon. John Scott Harrison printed in the Cincinnati Gazette and copied from the Enquirer, stating refusal to enter party contests when government existence is at stake. He cautions against party platforms that divide loyalty, advocates unity for Union and Constitution, and notes he did not support Lincoln but insists no support for a weak administration. He calls for peace with Union first and refuses to be a petty candidate in the current crisis.
