The Prospect of Disunion and the Union’s Survival
A critical defense of the United States against disunion fearmongering. The author argues the North largely supports the Union, contends disunion talk rests on Southern actions regarding slavery, and dismisses fugitive slave law threats as nominal. The piece mocks alarmists from all ranks and asserts the Union endures.
Real disunion and the reason why in the South
The author argues Southern insistence on remaining in the Union is not about secession but fear of losing status and security. He claims free states and global migration compel unity, despite Southern posturing. The piece mocks the idea that the Union depends on enslaved people or slave patrols.

Knowledge is Power Across Classes and Ages, The Value of Learning
A Victorian tone argues knowledge is priceless and not purchasable. It contrasts rulers and peasants, notes great minds come from common people, and warns against overemphasis on mere learning without labor. It also urges farmers to prepare soil carefully and act with diligence in farming practices.
State Gazette reflects on new laws harming Justices and wishful farming tone
The State Gazette and Newark Mercury discuss ex emption laws reducing the business of Justices of the Peace and constables in the region around Trenton. They note litigation shrinking, officials seeking other work, and criticise lawmakers while contrasting a farmers note on early green peas sold in Centre Market at eighteen pence per half peck.
