Certainly the best content in this issue is the inside page account of: "The Inauguration" which is followed by the: "Inaugural Address Of The President Of the United States, Fourth of March, 1833" which takes over half a page This was the inauguration & inaugural address of Andrew Jackson.
Other items of interest in this issue include: "The Indians" "Letter From General Mercer" "The Tariff Bill" and over 8 pages of reporting from Congress.
Great to have this inaugural coverage from a newspaper so close to Washington, D.C. Complete in 16 pages, 6 by 9 1/2 inches, never bound nor trimmed, nice condition.
AI notes: Andrew Jackson’s inauguration as the seventh president of the United States took place on March 4, 1829, and it was one of the most dramatic and widely attended inaugurations in American history. Jackson, a populist war hero, drew thousands of ordinary citizens to Washington, D.C., many of whom saw his election as a victory for the “common man” over entrenched elites. After taking the oath of office on the East Portico of the U.S. Capitol, Jackson was escorted back to the White House, where a massive public reception was held. The event quickly grew chaotic—so many people poured into the executive mansion that furniture was damaged, dishes were broken, and servants had to place tubs of liquor and punch on the lawn to lure the rowdy crowd outside. The raucous celebration shocked many of Washington’s political class, but it also symbolized Jackson’s appeal to ordinary Americans and marked a turning point in the democratization of American politics.
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."
