Additional Details

An attractive and ephemeral newspaper carrier's address, touching on the deaths of Justice John Marshall and Kentuckian cabinet member William Barry, as well as "bleeding Texas and her injur'd laws," new Speaker of the House James K. Polk of Tennessee, and the looming presidential election. Hopes are expressed that "noble Jackson, who long held command" will be followed by "the steadfast Patriot, Statesman, Sage / Our own Van Buren!" None others traced in OCLC or at auction.
