"After moving to Franklin County in 1852, McClure purchased the Chambersburg Franklin Repository eventually turning it into one of the most prominent newspapers in the area. . . McClure had a distinguished career as both a journalist and a politician. . . [I]n 1857 he was elected to Pennsylvania's House of Representatives. McClure, along with Andrew G. Curtin, played a vital part in swinging state support to Abraham Lincoln during the Presidential election of 1860" [PA Center for the Book online].
McClure says, "We are upon the threshold of the great political revolution of the age." He predicts "That our free Territories shall not be desolated by the extension of Human Slavery," and "our great Western domain shall be devoted to Free Homes for actual settlers." He passionately urges Pennsylvanians to vote for candidates favoring protective tariffs and free labor.
