A garbled 19th century fragment discusses Catholic exclusion from a state constitution, critiques the Democratic and Free Trade positions, and notes international pressures on US politics. It references Pierce, King, English labor, and the fishery question with Webster's return to the State Department and British smuggling of American flags.
