633 - L Aug. 26; ed:2/1 - The Chicago P0ST, predicting a very bright future
for McClellan, Fillmore, or Seymour, in case one of them wins in the Chicago
convention, implores the Democracy to nominate a "bold, fearless, and
honest man." The POST also declares that Lincoln's only hope of renomina-
tion lies in "timely and judicious declaration of martial law on election
day in New Jersey, Connecticut, Maryland, Kentucky and Indiana."
LEADER:
"We heartily disagree with the POST and predict that the Union Party
will triumph. Those who count on distraction in its ranks will be sorely
disappointed." (13)

612 - L. May 23; ed: 2/1 - "As the time draws near for the Baltimore conven-
tion, the unanimity of the popular feeling for Mr. Lincoln become more de-
cisive than before. Nothing has been so much feared by the copperheads as
his renomination. They have therefore been industriously at work for months,
endeavoring to undermine public confidence. Their savage onslaughts have
been stayed for a few weeks by the important events transpiring; but their
former malignity was not misunderstood. The integrity, purity, and ability
of the President, the universal confidence of the people, have been powerful
reasons with the opposition why he should not be renominated.
"From every quarter come the evidences that these qualities are being
appreciated and that the people are unanimously in his favor.
"From every quarter of the country where there has been any expression,
it has been overwhelmingly in favor of Mr. Lincoln. The hot beds of Aboli-
tion are the most earnest in his support, and yet there are certain
gentlemen who affect to be in favor of a still more radical candidate.
In view of the fact that the soundest anti-slavery men of the nation are
in favor of Mr. Lincoln's renomination, it little becomes the mal contents
who are to meet in this city to prate about a more radical anti-slavery
policy. They can come before the Union men of the country with but
little grace and still less hope of popular approbation. Henry Ward Beecher,
in writing to a distinguished Indiana politician at Washington, says what
will be endorsed by all good Union men:
"In the present exigency, in view of Mr. Lincoln's past administration,
the wision he has shown, the inoral purity of the man, the great and just
confidence which the people put in him... I am full and strong in my con-
viction that he should be our next president." (9)

674 - L. Sept. 30; ed: 2/1 - The overwhelming defeat of Wallandigham last
fall gave people the opportunity to say that votes had been imported.
Now that Indiana shows evidence of Union majorities, the TIMES intimates
that votes are to be imported. The pretense that fraud is employed
will do to cover up such an inglorious defeat as the Democrats will
suffer. "It is simply one of those political howlings which make it
evident that despair is settling down upon our political adversaries." (3)

Ohio, Indiana and Pennsylvania, it is proposed that Union-loving people
of Cleveland and surrounding towns get together and celebrate. "Let us

of self respect and honor and that they are still determined to put
down the rebellion even if it takes the last dollar and the last man.
Let us be joyful that the peace sneaks are few and far between, and
that our glorious Union shall be restored to its pristine splendor." (6)

foundation or in its territorial rights."

been convicted of such gigantic crimes against New York soldiers as rob-
bing them of their votes, they try to escape the wrath of the people
by making a great noise about the frauds in Indiana. "But this will
not help them. The people in New York are becoming thoroughly alive

1075 - L Dec. 23:4/3 - "The "self wringing mop" is being manufactured by
Keiney and Company, located at the foot of Champlain and Canal sts. The
mop was patented in October, 1861, and is an innovation dangerous to the “”
existence of the old-fashioned ones. "For what female, after seeing this
contrivance for mopping without touching her hands to the foul cloth, will . .
consent longer to use an article that is essentially filthy?" . . " ... "
Kedney and Company make 600 mops daily, employing seven men. These
mops are shipped to Michigan, Indiana, Wisconsin, and Iowa. . (5)

1541 - L July 21:2/1 - Democratic congressman of Pennsylvania, Ohio, and
Indiana issued a manifesto written by Senator Buckalew of Pennsylvania.
The charges, among other things, are that the government interfered with
clections. They denounced conscription and the bounty system, regarded
the government as oppressive, insecure, and corrupt, and demanded that the
races should be kept unmixed.
The sum of the whole matter is: "The defeat of Mr. Lincoln removes the
main obstacle to reunion and restores at once the jusst rule of the Constitu-
tion over the adhering states. This analysis speaks for itself." (11)

a Democratic administration was in power when the Rebellion was determined
upon. Also, recent discoveries and arrests in Indiana involve none but -
Democrats, and yet the Democratic party has the assurance to ask to be taken

brutality of the chivalry will be transplanted entirely into the man-

ception, transportation, or delivery of arms and ammunition by railroads,
or their sale in Ohio, Indiana, and Michigan, except by special permit,
is a wise move. Due to threats of open resistance of the draft, authori-
ties feel it necessary to take every precaution against insurrection and
civil war.
"There can be no doubt of the intention of the Copperhead leaders to make
the forthcoming draft the occasion of rousing their inflamed and higated (sic)
fellowmen to open resistance. This embargo on powder and lead now, may
save the terrible expenditure of powder and lead a month hence." (8)

to get in position to be reinforced hy Lee, who has also sent off large
numbers to defeat Sherman in Georgia. It seems the South has suddenly de-
cided to invade such northern states as Ohio, Indiana, and Pennsylvania.
