Wisconsin voters uphold Paine as Lynde doomed by slave power

In Wisconsin the Wislonsize hybrid blame Lynde's defeat on Paine's views and Farm Mortgage fears while the real driver was the public's love of freedom. The mass vote for Paine signals protest against Fugitive Slave Act Dred Scott and federal overreach, aiming to preserve liberty and prevent further partisan judicial influence. A Philadelphia dispatch also tells of a sailor returning a long lost son to his mother, a moving scene captured amid city life. Iowa heads to a Republican State Convention on June 20.

Death of Chief Justice Whiton in Wisconsin

It recounts his early life in Massachusetts, settlement in Janesville in 1836, and long public service from the territorial era through the 1850s. It lauds his integrity, judicial restraint, and influence, calling him a trusted public figure whose loss leaves a vacancy to be filled by the Governor.

Know Nothingism in Massachusetts and Minnesota Currency Debate

A Wisconsin-Democratic critic argues against labeling Republicans as Know Nothings, citing Massachusetts legislative moves on voting rights, a test of popular will, and a hostile press. Minnesota currency troubles alarm merchants, while federal cases in Lawrence, Kansas reveal low turnout and political friction as factions marshal supports. The piece also covers local shipping news and a Jeffersonian tone on national issues.
