Lines to a Mink by Josiai Canning in a 19th century verse
Poem fragment laments hunting and trapping of mink, contrasting wild liberty with human cruelty. Observes the creature's fear of dogs and traps, and the poet's wish to keep a tame pet, then accepts the mink’s choice to remain free as the speaker retreats. Plus a political column from Quincy describing Webster and Irish-American editorials, Missouri affairs, and a governor election result.

What Whigs Want From the Albany Argus Purge and Reform
A New York Whig commentary in the Albany Argus lays out Whig aims and fears. It advocates purging the country of a partisan president and enforcing founder-era republican principles, a sound self-regulating currency, and protected business. It demands a prudent federal budget, an army and navy respected, and a congress purged of corruption, while opposing debt, imperial overreach, and mistreatment of labor.
