Seward express firm support. Letters discuss party unity, national honor, and the prospects of victory, with assistants from the Guilford county area and New York committee officials noted.

Father Taylor the Sailor's Preacher in Boston
In Baltimore I heard Father Taylor, the Sailor's Preacher, praised as holy and eloquent. A self taught former sailor, he stirs crowds with vivid metaphors and a raw, heartfelt style that mingles maritime imagery with Christian zeal. He scolds self styled religious zealots and wins Boston audiences at Bethel with robust, stormy rhetoric.
