The Wilmington Post reports on the March 1 Raleigh convention of northern settlers led by Mr. Dumont, criticizes land agents for selling unsurveyed land, and mocks immigrant appeals. It also covers Congress adjournment moves, potential extra sessions, and political finger-pointing over double mileage and corruption allegations.
The report by Mr. Potter attacks Republican conduct in Louisiana 1876 and Florida claiming Republicans sought to sway black voters toward Democrats. It cites clubs mixing races and public venues to push political equality. A letter to Hon. Fernando Wood quotes Secretary Sherman on asset figures and resumption funds, noting unclear designation for circular money.
The piece argues against a Greenback and Republican coalition to organize the next House, favoring Democratic supremacy or a balanced alliance. It questions Republican loyalty, praises strategic cross‑party collaboration, cites Potomac reports, and notes Gen. Butler’s divergent electoral count views and campaign posture.
