The Western Virginia split and slave state push
A Wheeling Intelligencer style summary reports Western Virginia secession era debates over a Free State clause and the proposed Kanawha state formation. It notes contrived slaveholding influence at the convention, plans to submit the issue to voters, and warnings that Congress may block a slave state. It also covers Fort Donelson aftermath, Stout arrest talk, and mixed dispatches from Washington and France.
