Rock Port senatorial split as anti Lecomptonites walk out
In 1858 Rock Port reports a split at the state senatorial convention after Lecomptonites chose John M. Schumacher over independent candidate David T. Laird. The anti Lecompton faction withdraws and later Laird runs as an independent Democrat, carrying Spencer county but losing districtwide. The paper promises Grapeshot against Lecomptonites and notes local ads and events. Betsy Slocum writes from Possum Hollow criticizing party division and urging reconciliation before Civil War tensions rise.
