Additional Details

This periodical was dedicated to halting Andrew Jackson's second bid for the presidency. Every conceivable objection to his character and record is covered in depth. The six executed militia men who inspired the coffin broadsides are discussed on pages 127-42. A long September 1828 article accuses Jackson of being a partner in a slave dealership in 1810 (pages 330-36). The magazine even occasionally made room for positive articles on Jackson's opponent, the incumbent John Quincy Adams. Sabin 97272; not in Lomazow's American Periodicals.
