Milwaukee fugitive slave case shocks Racine crowd
Report of the Milwaukee trial notes a mass uproar as Joshua Glover, a fugitive slave, is seized from a Racine jail. A mob, aided by Kane county men, breaks doors, arms, and walls to remove him toward Racine, with U.S. marshal deputies stabilizing custody. Legal actions include habeas corpus writs, warrants, and a vigilante committee formed to monitor the case. The incident inflamed tensions, drew military calls, and prompted arrests of Garland and others for assault and battery.

Pennsylvania liquor law rejected by house
A prohibitory law modeled on the Maine Law failed in the Pennsylvania house by 50 to 44. The measure to submit it to voters in October and take effect in February was defeated by a similar margin. Supporters hoped Pennsylvania would lead sobriety, arguing mountains, towns, and cities suffered from intoxication. The piece ends with a patriotic nod to national unity and pride in the Commonwealth.
