Lancaster Gazette in Lancaster, Ohio

Fragments from a 1850s political and weather ledgers

The text reports a convention in Orrton-Tilon with delegates named and remarks on Whig figures such as Winfield Scott and Fillmore, plus scattered notes on weather, river obstruction, public notices, and local incidents including a fatal Huntington death, a Richmond Virginia stance on Fillmore, and legal judgments. It weaves parliamentary, editorial, and anecdotal items without a single cohesive narrative.
