THE DAILY DELTA, New Orleans, Sept. 29, 1850  

* Rare antebellum publication
* From the deep, deep South 

Newspapers from the pre-Civil War South are rather difficult to find. Here is one from Louisiana.
Among the many ads is one on the front page headed: "Slaves! Slaves!! Slaves!!!" which notes in part: "The subscribers are prepared to receive, on consignment, for sale in this market, any number of slaves, having one of the best showrooms in the city, & large & comfortable quarters where every attention will be paid to their comfort. Merchants, planters, and families having slaves to dispose of will find it to their interest to place them in our charge..." with a bit more. Also a "$20 Reward" for a runaway mulatto boy, with details.
Pages 2 & 3 contain an additional 4 illustrated "Reward" ads for runaway slaves. 
Four pages, irregular at the blank spine from disbinding, two old tape mends, good condition.

background: The Daily Delta was a prominent New Orleans newspaper published from 1845 to 1863, known for its staunchly pro-slavery and pro-Southern stance. It emerged as a leading voice in Louisiana’s media landscape, reflecting and shaping public opinion in the antebellum South, particularly in support of secession and the Confederate cause. Over its publication history, the paper underwent several name variations, including the New Orleans Daily Delta from 1853 to 1857, before reverting to the Daily Delta until it ceased in 1863, later succeeded by the Era. Its pages covered local, national, and international news, as well as political commentary, editorials, and advertisements, providing contemporary readers with insights into the economic, social, and political climate of New Orleans during a period of intense sectional tension.
