The Powler Embezzlement and Democratic Swindle Exposed
The article accuses Fowler the Postmaster of New York of stealing $180,000 and fleeing to South America. It criticizes a corrupt Washington marshal and bondsmen, condemning Democratic misuse of public funds and calls for swift national reform. It also recalls Missouri election fraud that led to Blair replacing Barrett in Congress. A Tennessee murder by a slave is noted, with grim commentary on slaveholding.

Democracy's assault on free speech and a jailed citizen
The piece denounces Virginia Democrats arresting Mr. Kernan for attending a Republican convention, arguing slaveholding politics punish dissent. It critiques the Charleston and Richmond conventions, mocks Democratic divisions, and calls for vigilance against mob rule and corruption in the Buchanan era. It also notes a violent incident aboard a steamer and glosses Lincoln and Douglas politics with partisan satire.
