A strongly critical column denounces the abolition party and its influence in the forthcoming Congress. It accuses the administration of using force to secure Maryland Delaware and Kentucky elections by bayonet, arguing this deepens misrepresentation of popular will and harms liberty.
The Western Independent quotes The Catholic Telegraph urging total abolition of slavery as the war nears conclusion. It argues major gains depend on ending slavery and predicts national unity and peace if slavery is destroyed without mercy, while criticizing superficial calls for mere war weariness.
A collage of remarks and brief items mentions George Penneis in town for a lecture, a strong pro Gen Grane article, tall architectural feats, and a Thanksgiving suggestion.

Also covered are Rev G Lewis’s appointment, wartime losses, a Baltimore safe theft, Malden Bank robbery, and Gen Corse’s recovery.

The article traces ancient mentions of oil and its late practical use sparked by a Connecticut inventor, notes earlier efforts in Sicily, Persia, and Ohio, and credits Col Brake of Stortford and Mr Young in England for early distillation advances. It emphasizes education and diffusion of knowledge as keys to wealth, with rapid growth of oil-related trade and rail networks transforming the country.
