THE GREENSBOROUGH PATRIOT, (Greensboro), North Carolina, Jan. 26, 1851 Rarely are we able to secure antebellum newspapers from this city. Among the page 3 items are reporters noting: "The population of Maryland is 591,000 of which 98,000 are slaves...In Virginia west of the Alleghenies, whites 494,763, slaves 63,234...".
Four pages, very nice condition.
