Treason to the South in Washington letters
A Raleigh Standard reprint quotes a Washington letter arguing Southern Whigs betrayed the South over abolition votes. It claims Northern abolitionists led by John Quincy Adams exposed Whigs at home, exposing treachery and misrepresentation to Southern voters. It notes Wise's late resolutions, Slade's abolition push, and calls for denunciation of treacherous party links while highlighting regional political splits. Also mentions Revolutionary Mothers pensions and a Savannah shad sale.
