It critiques evangelical strategies and calls for careful, independent outreach rather than mixed alliances.
A lengthy editorial tirade from the era criticizes the Jackson-Van Buren dynasty and warns Georgia and the South to unite against federal overreach. It urges support for a presidential candidate viewed as best to overthrow the administration and restore constitutional balance while attacking nullification and state-rights rhetoric as dangerous rhetoric.
From State Rights' Sentinel a fragmentary plea about Rob Short and a missing Popplar writer. The piece laments silence from a public figure, hints at family tragedy, and condemns Union dissolution while urging readers to study Union newspapers for the consequences.

A 1834 report describes preserving grapes on the vine using small bags over clusters to deter birds and wasps, with a harvest on the first frost dated November 2011.
