Duff Green's pro-Jackson newspaper...

Item # 710890
January 24, 1831
UNITED STATES' WEEKLY TELEGRAPH, Washington, D.C., Jan. 24, 1831  Published by the famed Duff Green, he took an intensely partisan stance in this newspaper, incorporating crude humor & vehement attacks & accusations against Jackson's opponents. Following Andrew Jackson's election in 1828 this paper briefly became the primary organ of Jackson's administration, & would take an increasingly pro-slavery position over the course of the 1830's.
Devoid of any advertisements, politics was the focus of the Telegraph although domestic & foreign news can be found. Three pages are taken up with Jackson documents and Acts of Congress, most signed in type: Andrew Jackson.
A 32 page newspaper, 5 1/2 by 9 inches, it appears more like a pamphlet than a newspaper. Light foxing, good condition.
