A tribute honors Rev Elijah P. Lovejoy as Presbytery of Southeast Missouri becomes Lovejoy Presbytery. The editor and minister's anti slave press defense led to his 1837 death and a national protest. The piece notes further clergy journalists and Lovejoy's enduring legacy.
The article covers Zachary Taylor's rise from the blunt remark about whisky to securing the Whig nomination in Philadelphia, with Henry Clay and Millard Fillmore as key figures. It notes Van Buren's Free Soil influence, the absence of slavery on platforms, and the 1848 electoral dynamics led by New York. It also covers Taylor's inaugural peculiarities, his cautious stance on slavery, the Missouri monument to a one day president, his limited legislative program, his death in 1850 from gastroenteritis, and Daniel Webster's view on averting Civil War.
