Reward of Demerit and the Covode Committee
A retrospective critique of the Covode Committee and its investigation into charges of corruption surrounding the Buchanan administration. The piece argues the committee served the nation by exposing rascallity, notes thePresident's protest, and contrasts the 1856 victory with later censure. It recalls Lincoln's stature, the Ledger’s boasting, and references to service in Illinois and Pennsylvania politics. It also mentions exposed naturalization papers fraud and a Japan insurrection note while touching on a Buffalo M E Conference decision.
