A satirical verse recalling colonial loyalty to Old King George and the Revolution, contrasting past prosperity under taxes and gold with modern times. It laments public debt, greenbacks, and taxes, while criticizing evolving injustices toward poor whites and social changes, including marriage stamp taxation.
A quirky miscellany of quirky adages and notices mentions farmers eyeing potatoes, a shipload of onions, a clever captain, and odd economic quips. It notes Cleveland’s growing population, Nashville tops, and a postmaster serving since Andrew Jackson, with various witticisms about politics, crime, and daily life.
Adela Marsh clears her late father’s name and debt, discovers an outlawed note for twelve hundred dollars, sells her watch and chain to pay, and, guided by honesty, reconnects with Edward Romaine’s heir. Romaine admires her integrity, and a plan to settle the debt leads to romance. He visits Parkersburg, courts Adela, and they marry, with her cherished gift restored.
A bachelor uncle counsels his niece on choosing a suitor, weighing love against wealth. He bluntly declares the choice is between an ideal love and tangible reality, urging her to secure the beef before the rest.
A report from Rone Gra notes that when a freedman claims a fraemer owes him money and the fraemer denies all debts and seeks a trial, no trial is granted. Instead a swift military judgment is issued, seizing property, detaining the person, and terrorizing the family, with no writ, charge, court, party, examination, or inquiry. The account condemns the process as arbitrary and driven by the words of “black vagabonds.”

The speaker calls to reduce the army, abolish the Freedmen's Bureau, entice Northern capital and emigration to the South, and insists on reconciled policy toward the defeated.

The Boston Post argues about Wade possibly serving as Acting President and a U S Senator simultaneously. It cites radical fears of power, questions line between executive and legislative functions, and suggests radical proposals would force constitutional absurdity by allowing one person to hold both offices.
A Virginia paper recalls a legendary event where Lacedemonia was conquered and a trophy erected to celebrate. The Amphygionic Council argued the trophy would immortalize civil discord between Greek and Creek, and a grand decree ordered its abolition to erase records of the feud.
