The Mormons and Hancock County agitations
In Hancock and surrounding counties strong anti Mormon sentiment grows as heated meetings emerge urging Mormons to leave. The piece describes political manipulation by Backenstos and allies, calls for unity against Mormon influence, and recounts editorial disputes with the Ottawa Free Trader and State Register. It notes New Hampshire and Illinois follow similar partisan frictions, with public notices and local correspondence.
