A dense summary of pro Douglas rhetoric and counterpoints from a partisan paper. It cites Douglas’s Senate speech defending slave expansion and criticizes Johnson and Lane for proslavery stances. It also notes suppression of the Covode Report, population estimates for Cedar Rapids and Marion, party alignments in New Jersey, and Kentucky GOP repudiation of Douglasism.
A Boston speech by Stephen A. Douglas criticizes Congress for neglecting public utilities like the tariff and the Pacific Railroad while denouncing what the piece calls current agitation over slavery. The article contrasts Douglas with reformers and accuses him of hypocrisy as it frames the politics of the Kansas Nebraska bill and the Lecompton era.
The column notes J. N. Arnold as the Republican candidate for Congress in Chicago District, outlines Breckinridge and Lane party activities in New York, and reports on primary elections to fuel state convention delegates. It covers mob violence in St Louis, a large dust shipment to St Joseph, royal visit highlights abroad, and local political clashes in Occaquan Virginia with union military doubts. It concludes with Vermont poet John G. Saxe’s gubernatorial nomination and a disrupted Indianapolis style lecture ending in chaos.
The New York Tribune projects Lincoln and Hamlin would win 179 electoral votes from the listed states, with California and Delaware likely in their column. It catalogs state-by-state totals including Maine New Hampshire Maryland and more, totaling 808 in a long tally.
Opinion from Judge Orr opposing fear of Union disintegration amid Republican rise. He narrates a fable of a donkey and a lion to mock anti Union predictions, then warns against Democrats allowing blacks to gain power. Notes Breckinridge Douglas alignment and electoral strategy in New York and the South.
Mr Pullerton’s complaint about my dor appears in a heated exchange on Sabbatoan translation. The letter defends Greenfield and Cranmer against claims of inconsistent use of Sabbatoon and argues that Greek writers may use terms with multiple meanings within one context. Corners cites Campbell and asserts translations vary and should be debated, not dodged.
The remarks cite Webster pledging to oppose slavery expansion and defend exclusion in territories. Marshfield 1818 shows him labeling free soil as opposition to slavery extension. In the Senate he argues property in slaves exists only where local law recognizes it and resists federal imposition of other laws in territories.
A vivid caricature describes James Buchanan in full evening dress at a reception. The piece notes his six foot one frame, silver hair, icy gaze, a leftward lean, and a stern, frosty politeness as he presides at the White House office with cabinet members and aides, amid sharp personal jabs and political maneuvering.
