"What Mr. Calhoun Thought of Suppressing Rebellion – 8"

This refers to the little-remembered 1841-3 Dorr Rebellion in Rhode Island, which did include a military challenge for which Thomas Dorr was eventually arrested, tried, convicted & jailed for treason.
Then Secretary of State John C. Calhoun (D-SC) commented on that rebellion saying,

So the Times here suggests Pres. Lincoln is merely following the policy prescriptions laid out by Calhoun (& many others) many years before.
