Sensitiveness and social misers in the Wisconsin mood
Editorial notes Keats's extreme sensitiveness as a source of lifelong gloom and extends to society's suspicion of motives. It laments the petty etiquette slights that ruin happiness, praises charity and universal goodwill, and critiques a tendency to mistrust in social life. The piece then shifts to Wisconsin Legislature debates over Lecompton concerns, land grant investigations, witness refusals, and procedural friction, highlighting calls for bank committee actions and petitions on grain grading and company affairs.
