Illinois and Buchanan Redistribute Power in National Battle
In a sprawling 1858 political letter from Cincinnati's Gazette, Illinois factions tilt toward Buchanan as Douglas backers brace for a fierce contest. Reports claim administration pressure to remove opponents, organize mass meetings in Chicago, and promote pro Buchanan press alignments. A new Star of Egypt paper and the Chicago Herald are cited as instruments in the campaign rivalry amid cross-state maneuvering and party realignment.

Fragmented 1860 census debate on race and politics
A fragmented 1860 census discussion dismisses claims of racial assimilation and links the issue to Northern and Southern political fault lines. The piece notes fear of permanent beliefs, references Senatorial fears, and quotes figures on slave populations while debating the meaning of miscegenation and the Amalgamation debate in Washington and Illinois.
