A patriotic call advocates Ulysses S. Grant leading the nation with the banner of the flag. The piece imagines American reach extending into Canada and Mexico and expresses firm belief in strong leadership and defense of rights under Grant.
The document cites praise for J. F. Bailey as a capable administrative official. Letters from Horace Greeley supporters Fenton and Tilton, and Abraham Lincoln endorse Bailey for a Treasury or Internal Revenue post, highlighting integrity, experience, and broad republican backing.
A fragmentary 1872 letter from Joan A. Dix to A. B. Cornwell defends Ulysses S. Grant, criticizes Horace Greeley, cites policies on tariffs and Cuba, and warns of political coalition dangers while praising Grant's Civil War leadership and restraint on international disputes. The missive laments party realignments and implores principled support amid reform debates.
A tirade lists numerous alleged corrupt officials and political operatives tied to Greeley era factions. It names Revren E. Fenton and others across New York, Chautauqua, Allegany, Ulster, Oswego, and beyond, accusing them of bribery, extortion, and involvement with rings and conspiracies. The piece frames these figures as central to the era’s corrupt politics and the Black Horse Cavalry network.
