Anticipating increased sectionalism in politics, partly related to Harpers Ferry. "The late elections having demonstrated that the Opposition of the North are abundantly able to elect a President, we may as well prepare for a stormy session of Congress and a prodigious foaming of slaveholders. To be sure, the people of the country are pretty well used to the raw-head-and-bloody-bone tactics of these gentlemen, but we shall be surprised if they do not outdo all they have ever done in this line, between now and next November. We counsel our readers, in advance, to prepare their minds for such shrieks from the howling Dervishes of our politics as they have never yet heard." Also contains an ad that reads "Old John Brown of Ossowattomie is now on trial in the state of Virginia for treason and murder, but John J. Brown, No. 1 Phenix Buildings, is still engaged in the 'irrepresible conflict' between CHEAP DRY-GOODS and CASH."
