Uncommon title... Praising Washington... Whiskey Rebellion at an end...

Item # 711193 ·
THE ORACLE OF THE DAY, Portsmouth, New Hampshire, March 4, 1795  This is a quite scarce 18th century American title as it existed only until 1799 and rarely comes on the market. We suspect the circulation was somewhat limited.
The front page & part of page 2 contain a list of Resolves adopted by the Constitutional Association of Elizabethtown, New Jersey, one of which is: "That GEORGE WASHINGTON, our illustrious President, hath continued to deserve well of his country & especially by his late exertions in issuing & supporting a proclamation of neutrality...".
Inside has an Act of Congress, and also a letter from Pittsburgh beginning: "Our country is very quiet--the people seem perfectly convinced of their past folly..." with a bit more on the end of the Whiskey Rebellion.
Four pages, slightly close-trimmed at the bottom of pages 1, 3 & 4 affect the bottom lines, otherwise nice condition.
