Generally a Republican and abolitionist newspaper with very strong language against Federalists. Issued during the critical period of the election of Andrew Jackson and New Hampshire Republicans felt there was corruption between Adams and Clay to keep Jackson out of the Presidency . . . and it was this breach that paved the way for the Democratic Party to separate from what was previously the Democratic-Republican Party, with a very high view of States Rights, thus unnaturally allying southern slave-holders with New Hampshire abolitionists on the grounds of States Rights.
Occasional notes indicating articles written anonymously by Levi Woodbury; perhaps a Woodbury family association copy. Levi was a Cabinet member in the Jackson administration and also an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court. Then, on April 21, 1828, we have a period signature which is clearly Pierce and appears to be M W Pierce Esq. Likely a relative of Benjamin and Franklin Pierce. Then another several are signed G. Frieze.

*Unpublished extensive patriotic poem with abolitionist and American Revolutionary themes. In part:
And her slaves thrill with hope, and her despots with fear
While we tell of our fathers, their triumphs and toil
When liberty's tree they fixed deep in our soil
While their blood flow'd like water to cherish its root
Andwide and more wide its green branches shall shoot
Till from ocean to ocean its shadow shall be
The dwelling, the pride, and the song of the Free.
