The narrative portrays a legislator who shifted from Free Soil to Democratic lines, backed Cass, faced fierce opposition from Locatoco factions, and was defeated after a bitter campaign. It condemns his treachery, bribery of the legislature, and betrayal of anti Slavery allies, arguing he seeks office by corrupt means and will seek a Congress seat as a trusted but compromised ally to the Cass faction.
A new Post Office is established on the C G and G I I in Roshester with Giles Gilnore Eey appointed Post Master, promising daily mail service. The piece critiques Whig nominees and party factions, citing derisive notes about Conway, Josiah Palmetor, and Dr. Thompson, and ridicules the Courier and Union for political polemics over the Fugitive Law as Democratic.
