This newspaper has a wealth of political reporting, published by Duff Green who had come to Washington to establish a newspaper to promote the candidacy of Andrew Jackson.
Mott says, "Green proved to be of the hard-hitting politician type of editor." which could be taken literally as Green got involved in a fist-fight in the Capitol.
Each issue is complete in 8 pages, 10 1/2 by 14 1/2 inches, nice condition.
