January 21, 1843
NILES' NATIONAL REGISTER, Philadelphia, Jan. 21, 1843 This small size newspaper began in 1811 and was a prime source for national political news of the first half of the 19th century. As noted in Wikipedia, this title: "...(was) one of the most widely-circulated magazines in the United States...Devoted primarily to politics...considered an important source for the history of the period."
The back page has a rather brief report with a small heading: "Joe Smith" which notes: "This personage, who lately surrendered himself at Springfield, Illinois in obedience to the requisition of the governor of Missouri, on a charge of being accessory to the attempted assassination of ex-governor Boggs...was discharged... from custody of the ground that he is not a fugitive from justice, & consequently not the subject of surrender to the authorities of another state." (see)
Sixteen pages, 8 1/2 by 12 inches, nice condition.
