Critique of Kansas Constitutional Convention Attracts Ashes
From the Philadelphia Press a harsh view of the Kansas Territorial Constitutional Convention is offered. The piece denounces delegates led by a General Calhoun from Illinois, accuses them of minority rule, and calls for Congress to reject the proposed constitution. It contrasts this with denounced support for the Topeka constitution and urges Pennsylvania senators to oppose it. Also notes Mackay the poet’s visit, the Flying Cloud wreck, and a large pigeon shooting haul in Clarksville, Tennessee.
