Freedom of the Press by T Fisk
A critical defense of press liberty argues that oppression thrives when outward forms remain intact while the substance erodes. The piece cites painting, science, and printing as engines against despotism, urging steadfast defense of freedom despite political cost. It references Whig and Democratic factions, calls for vigorous support of free press, and laments censorship under rulers.

Deal Gently with the Lowly and Their Plight
A didactic verse urges gentle treatment of the meek, noting bitterness, abandonment, and forgotten souls. It counsels kindness to ease despair and recalls mercy as a pathway to approval from God. The poem contrasts harsh words with the benevolence required to guide others toward a better life.
