Fragmented Reprint of Virginia Convention Debate and Kentucky Election
A newspaper page fragment covers Virginia Convention proceedings on canal stock, state rights, and fiscal prudence with remarks by Mr. Johnson and Mr. Mercer, plus defense of a third resolution. It also reports Kentucky election prospects for Governor Barry and Metcalfe against Adams, with electoral table and partisan commentary. It ends with a long, curious note on ancient American archaeology and a Turkish court observer’s remarks about Sultan.
