A spoof catalog lists bizarre, scattered items and odd proclamations in a stylized overheard moralizing verse. The mix of romance, despair, and eccentric goods invites readers to parse satire from historical rhetoric.
The Alabama Journal prints a facsimile arguing Thomas Jefferson authored nullification and defends South Carolina, contrasting the Enquirer and Richmond Whig claims with Jefferson’s reported writings. It compares nullification to Georgia’s stance on Indian removal and predicts conflict with the Supreme Court, urging public judgment.
A survey of cloth costs and fabric types with tariffs urged to protect labor. It cites figures on capital, mills, spindles, yarn, cloth output, employment, and cotton consumption for the United States through 1827, and discusses Supreme Court power and alien and sedition laws with a cautious critique.
Massachusetts Senate committee on Public Lands reports resolutions opposing a new northeastern boundary line urged by the King of the Netherlands. They warn such a survey would strip Maine and Massachusetts of lands, violate the Federal Constitution, and be null and void without state consent. The piece also notes Indian treaty ratifications and upcoming diplomatic shifts in Washington.
An extract from a Vanpatsa dated letter to the editor details the Jackson and Johnson Convention proceedings and their alignment with Jackson supporters in Hamilton, predicting Johnson will win over Sinnvis despite Van Buren opposition. It cites Governor Lumpkin opposing Cherokee removal and enforcing Georgia laws against federal mandates.
Excerpt discusses Georgia letters warning of nullification and war over tariff changes, and a satire on the national debt. It presents speculative reckoning of debt in coins and metals, with dramatic quantities and transport estimates to illustrate the burden.
An 1832 issue notes that a correspondent's letter titled Crikocrapuys was received too late for publication. To fit the page, items from other correspondents are prioritized and the paper omits articles already set in type.
The author of Arenatone claims he was discharged for using office secrets to attack a correspondent. He admits authoring the piece and says others in the office knew, but the matter centers on whether publication of a severe communication by A V2 should be printed. The office insists the discharge was justified and that the author did not read or cut any public pieces mentioned.
A letter from Daniel Newnan dated April 1852 reports the Cherokee delegation in Wasinvaros agreeing to seek a treaty with the U.S. government. They propose patenting lands over the Mississippi and possibly a Congressional delegate, with meetings to be held at Wasinvaros or New Wehota. The aim is to resolve long-standing Indian population issues for Georgia and the Union.
A Liverpool based Commercial House circular notes a sharp turn in cotton prospects due to crop damage in the United States and Brazil. It reports reduced stocks, price advances, limited new Mobile and Orleans supplies, and quality declines in upland cotton. It also discusses the Chalers sensation in London, public doubt about disease, and quarantine restrictions affecting trade.
The article compiles cotton market data from Liverpool and Charleston with notes on stock, prices, freights, and outlooks, alongside an editorial letter urging Nullification and liberty. It references the Georgia Courier and calls for civic engagement against perceived overreach, urging readers to support the Nullifier cause.
