A considerable amount of discussion on the slavery issue.
This is followed by a report headed: "Rev. Dr. Ely A Slaveholder" which tells of him moving to Missouri to be come a slave owner (see), taking almost a full column (see).
Other items of interest in this issue include: "Mr. Webster at Bangor, Maine" "Commencement at Princeton" "Bank Arrogance & Dishonesty" "Battle on Lake Erie" "Island of Jamaica" "Kosciuszko In America" and more.
