Banner Inscription at Springfield Whig Convention
A Pennsylvania journal notes a Whig banner in Springfield Illinois mockingly describing the President as independent and governing, Congress as submissive, and offices as for loyal allies. It also cites a Chester Delaware County gathering of about eight thousand supporters with speakers including Wise and Major Anderson Miller to cheers.
