NILES' NATIONAL REGISTER, Baltimore, Aug. 1, 1846  

* Mormons - Mormonism
* Pre Battle of Nauvoo - Illinois


Over two pages are taken up with various reports on the on-going Mexican War.
The back page has: "Mormon Troubles" which includes: "...we learn that Nauvoo is once more the theatre of great excitement. 
a body of about 80 persons...left there for the purpose of pursuing some desperadoes, who, it is said, had severely beaten a small body of Mormons and new citizen, whilst engaged in harvesting...five or six of them were arrested and lodged in jail..."
with more.
Sixteen pages, 8 3/4 by 12 inches, very nice condition.

As noted in Wikipedia, this title: "...(was) one of the most widely-circulated magazines in the United States...Devoted primarily to politics...considered an important source for the history of the period."
