Medary, S.
Letter, 1860 June 20. 1 item [formerly Alphabetical File]
Letter signed S. Medary [Samuel Medary], Lecompton, K.T. [Kansas Territory], to Charles,
June 20, 1860. “. . . . Your ‘wide-a-awakes’ will be ‘fast asleeps’ before the election if they do
not act more sensibly. I see that Col. Swayne stood no chance nor any other conservative. . . .
Now if our folks would only show the least patriotic spirit at Baltimore and strive for harmony
instead of disunion we should beat old Abe and all his rail splitters without much trouble, but
Mr. Smith’s letter only confirms my previous opinion, that it is Douglass or nothing.”
