A fragmentary poem recalls enduring love after death. The speaker speaks to a departed beloved, insisting the beloved remains in memory, beauty, and spirit, guiding hope beyond the grave with lines about seeing, hearing, and feeling the loved one still.
A column discusses how the Bible reveals beauty and truth across many images, from leviathan to cedar of Lebanon, urging readers to study nature’s signs as moral guidance. It cites Johnson and Mrs. Ellis, urging contemplation of life’s seasons and fate for improvement. A brief note mentions the steamer Oneida gale consuming fuel.
A wall of moral sermon opens with the warning that an entire family risks perdition if present conduct continues. The piece debates parental influence, urges prayer, and recounts a biblical warning about relatives’ fate, then shifts to varied vignettes on science, manners, and public notices.
The New Orleans Picayune recounts Whigs and Democrats in Natchitoches swearing to fire 250 rounds for the 1840 vote. A thirteenth gun salute lowered the Clay–Frelinghuysen banner, provoking poignant grief in a deaf and dumb Whig printer, amid public solemnity and shared sorrow. A Washington letter predicts Whig resistance to Locofoco gains and a Nashville note reports 600 office seekers visiting the President-elect. New Hampshire lawmakers also abolish militia musters.
The speech from Mr. Clay thanks Kentucky leaders and other states for backing him as President. He praises the Whig platform, declines to judge the new administration, and urges party unity to pursue liberty, peace, prosperity, and national honor under Providence.
