BOSTON COMMERCIAL GAZETTE, Oct. 26, 1818.
* Alabama set for Statehood
* Population reaches over 40,000
A pg. 2 report says "It is expected that the Alabama Territory will be admitted into the Union at the next session of congress as it already contains between 60 and 100,000 inhabitants."
Forty thousand is the number required.
Other news of the day with several advertisements. Trimmed close at the bottom causing minor unrelated loss, little foxing, otherwise in good condition.
