Washington union article on Democratic compromise stance
A 2A telegraphic dispatch from Washington reports the Washington Union article asserting that the Baltimore platform would have doomed the compromise if approved or disapproved, and that Democrats now acknowledge they were cheated by Pierce and his allies. The piece accuses the Pierce faction of pretending to favor compromise while secretly aiding its defeat. It also covers a fire at Nigh Perce & Co in Springfield with $15,000 loss, insurance $2,000, plus damage to adjacent businesses, and notes petitions to prohibit liquor manufacture in Illinois. The England peace party and Bright’s stance are also discussed, ending with a jab about President Pierce’s whereabouts.
