It critiques old Whig ties and presses for freer trade. The Cincinnati Enquirer is cited.

Discovery of an ancient fort along the Ohio frontier
W W Boden reports locating a natural fort on a high bluff above the Ohio river in Clark county near Fourteen Mile Creek. The site features a 100 to 150 foot rock wall, a horseshoe creek base, a five foot dry stone wall and ditch, three hundred yard outer length, and interiors with 45 foot diameter mounds and white oak embankments. A spring and river views enhance its strategic position, likely dating to the French and Indian era as a safe retreat for early settlers.
