The Wilmington Post reviews Republican resolutions in Louisiana, mocks Sheridan and Merritt, and notes southern Republican organizing in Washington. It cites Judge Field’s curb on centralization, laments Democratic disunity, and lampoons cipher dispatchsheets linked to Tilden era corruption.
A letter argues against postwar road taxes imposed by the Democratic party decrying heavy burdens on laborers. The author claims expanded road building under the party harms the poor white and black workers, contrasts costs with earlier projects, and urges awakening and action.
The piece argues that continuous fighting between parties delays prosperity and endangers the South. It calls for building up sections and cotton interests while urging the North to accept a fair deal for the South to gain a proper position in the Union.
Sunset Cox mocks both Robeson and John Kelly camps in Corning remarks. He jokes about a bell tolling for Lucius Robinson and appeals to loyalty to Kelly in Syracuse, contrasting Democratic factions and accusing rivals of perfidy.
The letter advocates James L. Henry of Buncombe as governor candidate and Canaday as lieutenant governor for the Republican ticket. It argues Henry's legal eminence and prosecutorial record, plus Canaday’s veteran service, would energize the party to carry the state. The note discusses current Senate compositions and potential outcomes for 1881.
A historical notice from Greensboro announces Rosenthal's farewell to patrons at the leading Republican paper in North Carolina. The piece reflects on arrivals, dates, and the publication's weekly schedule as it acknowledges departures and ongoing engagements.

The notice advertises a subscription offer for Peterson's Magazine with twelve patterns and steel engravings. It highlights deluxe colors, superior plates, and a new feature featuring steel etched series. The prospectus promises more value than any similar publication.
