EMANCIPATOR & WEEKLY CHRONICLE, Boston, Oct. 1, 1845 One of the less common anti-slavery newspapers with content as you might suspect. Page 3 has: "Mormons" noting in part: "The troubles between the Mormons and anti-Mormons are serious. The latter have determined that Nauvoo shall be broken up, and the worshippers driven from the county. The sheriff...has issued s proclamation for 2000 men to hold themselves in readiness...committee of the Mormons had had an interview with their opponents... and offered to sell out at a fair price, but their overtures were rejected."
This abolitionist newspaper was first published in New York City and by this time in Boston. It was founded as the official newspaper of the American Anti-Slavery Society, and from 1840 to 1850 it was published by the Liberty Party.
The Liberty Party was an early advocate of the abolitionist cause and it broke away from the American Anti-Slavery Society to advocate the view that the Constitution was an anti-slavery document.
Four pages, various creases, some minor foxing, good condition.
