A heated tirade targets a rival editor as a “ filthy sheet” and demands accountability in Georgia politics. The piece urges political allies to fulfill promises, warns against federal corruption, and discusses railroad schemes from Memphis to Washington with cautions about constitutional limits and state interposition.
The Enquirer cites a Standard of Union writer noting that the Constitution interprets itself and claims the Federal Union discovers nine able and distinguished citizens to represent the state in Congress. They are said to enjoy the confidence of the Union party and will support Andrew Jackson. The writer mocks the claim as a novel discovery for backwoods readers.
A writer argues that illiterate teachers corrupt children with superstition and poor method, while ignorant clergy fail to properly convey language and scripture. The piece laments hereditary ignorance, banned by education, and condemns low wages for educated instructors. It also notes a Charleston wedding where a rushed union occurred after mutual fascination.
Mrs Harley accuses her husband Joshua Harley of desertion and advertising their finances to ruin her reputation. She calls publishing critiques about their private life an outrage in an enlightened community and notes she cannot credit him. The fragment ends with local social notices and prices.
Detailed notices list daily and weekly mail arrivals for regional routes. Northern and Southern mail schedules, city and rural stops, and closing times are given with specific days and times for Newnan, LaGrange, Cherokee, Florida, Fort Gates, West Point Vernon, Marion, and H. Maid routes.
