Madison Convention Chaos and Party Shifts Report
Correspondence from Madison describes a turbulent Wisconsin state convention with Whig remnants fading. Leonano Parawesa withdraws nominating support, Farwell leads with 33 votes, and the Free Soil faction gains new momentum as the gathering adjourns amid sharp editorical tensions.
Resentment in Wisconsin Assembly over Malfeasance Plea
The Second Judicial Circuit defense of Levi Hobell argues a plea of not guilty to alleged corrupt acts and the Assembly hears debate on admissibility. The Assembly appoints counsel, witnesses are summoned, and a court-ordered attachment targets those who show contempt. Governor Farwell returns several bills, with vetoes or objections noted on appropriation, river monopoly, and marriage registry repeal.
