Portrait sketches of Congressmen stir prewar debates
The Philadelphia readers witness a satire on McClernand Hoge and other Illinois lawmakers. The piece mocks vendetta portraits by Mrs Rogel and Continental fashion while critiquing a minister’s political claims and a forged Clay speech. It covers riots in Philadelphia, libel cases, and Whig fervor for Frelinghuysen, Clay, and new public lands policies.
