Opposition Convention in Virginia
(Column 3)Summary: Harper's Ferry has increased political tensions, so Unionists, especially in the North, will be watching the opposition convention very closely.
Excerpt: "That the abolitionists on one hand and the fire-eaters on the other will make all the capital they can out of the Harper's Ferry affair cannot for a moment be doubted. It will be not the least of the heavy tasks which the Whigs of Virginia will have to encounter, to anticipate the agitators, and by counsels wise and calm addressed to the good sense of the country, to thwart them effectively."

Mrs. Child and the Insurgent Brown

Excerpt: "Hereafter she will be regarded, in the South at least, as belonging to the Harriet Beecher Stowe 'circle' as one whose morbid enthusiasm and fanatical zeal have beclouded and vitiated a judgement, otherwise, perhaps, clear and sound."
