A split era column surveys Union and Confederate stances. It questions the Chicago Convention's call for ending hostilities and argues, with references to territories, fortifications, and manpower, that the Union has gained ground while the Confederacy endures. It includes Jefferson Davis and Lincoln anecdotes and notes a Methodist Conference tribute to Union colors.
An Erie County supporter questions why a key line about maintaining national unity by force if needed was struck from a Chicago Democratic National Convention resolution. He argues the omitted text would have strengthened loyalty to the Union and Constitution across Northern and Southern states.
A Copperhead newspaper claimed Lincoln draws salary in gold. The piece refutes the claim, noting Lincoln receives government pay for his work during a critical era, often leaving one year’s salary undrawn and directing funds to national credit. It contrasts this with McClellan receiving pay as Major General without active service.
