NILES' NATIONAL REGISTER, Baltimore, May 24, 1845  Inside has a full column of reports concerning the Mormons in Illinois. A few bits include: "There are large numbers of Mormon emigrants flocking from Europe, most of whom are bound for the city of Nauvoo...the trial of the prisoners indicted for the murder of Joseph and Hiram Smith was to commence...Among the indicted are some six or seven of the most respectable citizens of the county...The Mormons and antis can never live in peace any more; the hatred existing between them is deep, deadly, and inveterate..." and much more.
The back page has: "A Slaver Captured" noting in part: "The American schooner 'Spitfire'...arrived at Boston...having been captured on the 26th March at a slave factory some distance up the Rio Pongo, coast of Africa..." with considerable detail.
Sixteen pages, 8 1/2 by 12 inches, nice condition.
