On Friday September 21 at 2 PM Gov Dennison will address the people of Fostoria and vicinity. A large turnout of local farmers is expected to attend and hear the Governor speak.
Amid heated party rhetoric in Sandusky and neighboring counties, advocates accuse Stephen A. Douglas of pro-slavery aims and misrepresentations, while Republicans trumpet Lincoln prospects and German votes. The piece rails at Douglas, Bean, Carey, and local Know Nothings, detailing rallies, speeches, and alleged bribes in the Ninth district race.
A fanciful notice reports the marriage of Douglas Democracy to Miss Bell Know Nothing in Syracuse on August 16 1860 after a brief courtship. It satirically mocks party fealty and service by declaring Native American control over the mixed-national household, with implied political humor and sarcasm about servants and votes.
This fragment outlines a political pamphlet style weekly publishing Douglas speeches in precise words while damning him as a demagogue. It references Herschel V. Johnson, Know Nothingism, and a Clyde meeting with Large crowds, Wide Awakes, and torchlit demonstrations, noting Republican figures and local election implications.
The piece cites 1860 Senate remarks by Douglas arguing that squatter sovereignty extended slavery in New Mexico. It contrasts 1849 free territory claims with later assertions that the doctrine converted vast free lands into slave territory. It includes references to the Covode Committee, Dickinson, and press commentary on Lincoln and Hamlin polling in New York.
