Fragmented Senate debate on slavery and speaker fight
The long session roils over Speaker selection and the slavery question as northern and southern factions clash in the House and Senate. Key figures like Thaddeus Stevens and Keitt dominate the scene while committee actions, adjournments, and political maneuvering shape the crisis.
Stevens to be tried in Jefferson county court
A Virginia House report states Stevens now jailed at Charlentown will be tried by the Circuit Court of Jefferson county rather than the U S Court at Staunton. The speaker explains the issue stems from the outrage in Virginia shifting from federal to state jurisdiction. A private letter to Jackson notes Senator Brown of the state called Seward a highway robber and Buchanan worse.
