The Sword and Mum Policy in Federal Politics
A lengthy critique contrasts 1840 1848 1862 eras with current Federal party tactics. It cites the New York Times scolding and mocks the idea that the pen is mightier than the sword. An anecdote about a mute heir illustrates political silences and tactics. The piece also comments on wool prices fuelled by war county and export concerns. It notes a court admission in Manfield and references a Washington Union letter on wool, food prices, and market shifts. It closes with reflections on Franklin Pierce, federalism, and Whig anti abolitionist debates.
