THE WEEKLY REGISTER, Baltimore, January 1, 1825 The very first article at the top of page 1 has a small head: "Presidential Election" with the report noting: "It being ascertained that Louisiana has given three votes to gen. Jackson & two to Mr. Adams, as president--(and an undivided vote for Mr. Calhoun as vice president), we are enabled to state the result of the late election as follows: " and what follows is a list of the votes for Jackson, J.Q. Adams, Wm. Crawford, and Henry Clay (see photos) plus just a bit more text.
Among the other reports in this issue are:
* "The Nation's Guest" which is concerning General Lafayette
* "The Slave Trade"
* "Report of the Postmaster General"
* Various reports from Congress
This issue is complete in 16 pages, measures about 6 by 9 1/2 inches in very good condition.
As noted in Wikipedia: "Niles edited and published the Weekly Register until 1836, making it into one of the most widely-circulated magazines in the United States and himself into one of the most influential journalists of his day. Devoted primarily to politics, Niles' Weekly Register is considered an important source for the history of the period."
