It cites the U S Gazette and Union pieces, recaps Jackson's legacy, Nauvoo turmoil, and Locofoco maneuvers, warning of debt and political corruption underpinning annexation.

Principles and practice in politics and society
The piece contrasts political and personal integrity across parties, mocking zealots who bend morals for party, cites the Sandusky Mirror editor on annexation and slavery, notes recent local weather and crop hopes, reports on New York fire losses and Texas voting quirks, and ends with humorous tips on pest control and bedbug remedies.
