Before and After in the 1848 Campaign Turmoil
The Weekly Herald recounts pre election attacks on Gen. Taylor as a tyrant and contrasts them with praise for his leadership. It notes opposition presses call him a pliant instrument, while Taylor is portrayed as cautious, cabinet‑consulting, and faithful to republican values. Additional dispatches report Texas letters seeking cavalry aid, the loss of Major Barry’s party to Indian attacks, and scattered Western reports including routes surveyed and a duel near Rio Grande city.
