Opening of the XXVIth Congress and Adams at the helm
A fragment from the 1830 opening describes New Jersey's delegation delaying the House while the clerk refused to roll call. John Quincy Adams rises to demand action, denouncing the clerk’s power and exhorting order, as the chamber erupts in fervent support and the session moves toward forming a Speaker.

A Madison canvasser and a stubborn subscriber
In 786 a traveling canvasser John D- used bravado and wit to collect subscriptions at a coffee house. He challenged a rough patron, subdued him with a throat hold, and secured two dollars after a brief struggle. The scene ends with the canvasser gaining a new subscriber and praising the power of the press.
