Abstracts 2432 - 2438
POLITICAL CAMPAIGNS & ELECTIONS - United States (Cont'd)
2432 - L Aug. 16; ed: 2/2 - In this great struggle of 1856 we certainly
have the young men of all the free states with us, and in this struggle
for liberty all are gathering around the standard of the young
and brave Fremont.
"They will gather around the pillars of Freedom: and bear up in
their giant strength the glorious temple our noble old fathers erected ....
When the bloody legions of Ruffianism and Depotism dare profane the
precints of that temple, they shall be annihi lated forever." (16)
2433 - L Aug. 16; ed: 2/3 - The Hon. B. Stanton of the Springfield district
has been renominated by the Republicans. "There is wisdom in such
a course, and with the exception of Harrison and Moore, we hope it will
be the treatment bestowed upon everyone of our members." (4)
2434 - L Aug. 16:2/4 - In a letter to the editor, J. W. says: By a transposition
and repetition of the letters of the name of Fremont, this sentence
appe(lrs: "Not for one term." Although this is not in accordance
with tl-te rule governing the formation of anagrams, it may be regarded by
the curious as an omen that the hero of the Rocky Mountains will occupy
the White House for more than four years. (3)
2435 - L Aug. 18; ed: 2/2 - Pursuant to a call signed by 66 Democrats who
voted for Medi 11 for governor last fall, maf'Y people assembled at the
old court house on Aug. 16. The house was crowded and many were not able
to get in.
These men have lost all faith in the Democratic party and its administration
of the government. They are earnest, liberty-loving men who
have seen their fondest hopes of 3 reformation of their party trailed in
the dust and have found themselves called on to kneel at the shrine of
slavery; not indignant, but in despair, they abandoned their standard and
joined under the banner of liberty, freedom and Fremont. (15)
L Aug. 18; ed: 2/2 - See CHURCHES & SECTS - Mormons
2436 - L Aug. 19: 2/3 - In a letter to the edi tor, a "Penamite" says:
While on a train to Cleveland, I took a vote of the passengers, with the
following results: Fillmore 5, Buchanan 6, and Fremont 47.
"The above is about the same wherever I travel." (3)
2437 - L Aug. 20; ed:2/1 - Judge Bliss, who declared on the steps of the
court house that "no man was imprisoned in Kansas, who did not deserve
to be," has been preaching Demoracy to the people of Berea, Obed in,
and regions beyond. "We hope he continues, for speeches, such as he makes,
can but help the cause he opposes." (4)
2438 - L Aug. 20; ed: 2/2, 3 - The friends and admirers of Thomas Jefferson
and of the Democracy of which he is called the father are slow to break
