         <p> [Dr. A. G. Henry writes John J. Hardin in Washington: "We have had several Whig
    meetings in Springfield lately and they seem to have carried enthusiasm to its highest pitch. .
    . . At these `Clay Clubs' we sing old songs for `gallant Harry' and this with eloquent speaking
    from Logan, Lincoln and Baker you may well imagine the effect. We have a meeting once or twice a
    week and we intend to keep them up till November. I know that if you were in Morgan all would go
    well but I fear that the people of Morgan have lost what they are not able to replace. I know
    how this goes if Baker or Lincoln is missing at our meetings. It seems that something is
     lost."<bibl default='NO'>John J. Hardin Papers, Chicago History Museum, Chicago,
