Temperance, politics, and quirky news from the era
A collage of items includes a mother recalling a comic lions tale, auction results for English horse breeding, schoolboy humor, an anecdote about a rail journey, mischief with a gravy pan, verses from a temperance meeting, a political satire about Alfred and Kate, a election honesty tale in a German township, and humorous voter integrity lore reflecting 19th century democracy.
An American party defended as a lasting force
The New York Express argues the American Party is neither single minded nor sectional nor bigoted. It claims broad reach across states and factions, including Bells, Gentrys, Browns, Jones, Crittendens, Marshalls, and many leaders from Maryland to New England, and asserts support from East, West, North, and South, signaling a durable political life.
