National Democrats of New York Call for 1856 Campaign Organizing
The National Democratic Committee in New York at the Stuyvesant Institute urges a strong, early push for the 1856 campaign. It denounces the Free-Soil faction, asserts party purity, and calls on young men to unite for a nationwide organization to uphold the party and defeat abolitionist influence. It also cites John Van Buren and predicts limited renomination prospects for the current administration.

Sidewalk hazards planted by city on Bank streets
At Bank and 9th and near Bank and 12th streets rows of pests were planted to hinder firemen on the sidewalk. They may help in one way but are dangerous to pedestrians at night due to lack of gas lighting. Several people were injured including a woman seriously hurt recently. Thank you to Mr. Maule for sending New York papers via Jamestown. Robert Anderson, a free Black man, was ordered to receive thirty nine lashes for striking a white man beating his wife and disorderly conduct in the street.
