Duff Green's pro-Jackson newspaper...

Item # 710890 ·
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.
