A Damaging Disclosure From Kansan Official Speech
Hon F P Stanton secretary to Gov Walker spoke at Lawrence and argued that the administration’s current policy was an after-thought. He recalled a September letter signed by General Whitfield and Dr Tebbs stating Kansas supported a Free State, a document Buchanan reportedly suppressed. He asserted the administration’s course toward Kansas has been unscrupulous since then. Also notes a Coltenius Journal wheat sample from Hulbert & Loomis, described as good in appearance.
