Item # 710889
January 17, 1831
UNITED STATES' WEEKLY TELEGRAPH, Washington, D.C., Jan. 17, 1831 Published by the famed Duff Green, he took an intensely partisan stance in this newspaper, incorporating crude humor & vehement attacks & accusations against Jackson's opponents. Following Andrew Jackson's election in 1828 this paper briefly became the primary organ of Jackson's administration & would take an increasingly pro-slavery position over the course of the 1830's.
Devoid of any advertisements, politics was the focus of the Telegraph although some domestic & foreign news can be found.
A 32 page newspaper, 5 1/2 by 9 inches, it appears more like a pamphlet than a newspaper. Scattered foxing, good condition.
