Disunion urged as Lincoln era shifts nation
In a Southward contest report, a Chicago Vines article argues for disunion and Democratic dominance across Southern states led by figures like Stephens and Douglas. It predicts Lincoln’s lack of field presence and a sweeping Democratic victory, with electoral votes from the South and a near extinction of fanatism and disunionism nationwide. A Manitowoc Tribune note adds a Bohemian shot in Crossuth with a German suspect, minor recovery hopes, and pursuit by officers.
