265 - L Oct. 5; ed:2/4 - "The laborer who proposes to vote for Jeff
Davis, should first read of some plans proposed by rebel papers, and
their views on 'free' things." The Richmond EXAMINER, Alabama HERALD
and Richmond ENQUIRER all speak against free Negroes, free farms, free
thinking, free schools and declare that they are "all in the same cate-
gory, and belong to the same brood of damnable isms."
Howell Cobb, leader in the rebellious movement, advocated enslavement
of all workingmen and women. He says, "there is perhaps no solution of
the problem of reconcil ing the interest of capital and labor, so as to
protect each from the encroachments of the other, so simple as slavery."

2518 - L. Sept. 16; ed:2/3 - Evidences are accumulating to show that “...
General Lee is massing as many troops as he can command to make an attack
upon General Grant, and, by defeating Grant, to assist McClellan's politi-sº
cal ambitions. - -- .
The Richmond EXAMINER of the 8th says: "Military success, then, will not
retain Lincoln in his seat. The influence of the South - more powerful in
the shock of battle than when throwing her minority vote in an electoral
college - will be cast in favor of McClellan by this indirect yet effi-
cacious means." - (4)
