Senatorial clash over federal interposition and married women rights
A Virginia governor note to the President about a rescue attempt to preserve peace triggers a debate on Congress power. The Anti-Slavery Bugle reports a heated discussion in which senators consider whether Congress may interpose to protect states and a bill on married women's property rights is examined. Proponents push equal rights and protections of earnings, while opponents warn against destroying family unity and marriage.
