Published at 70 Camp Street. Contains article "We Must Act Promptly" in regards to the "trouble between South Carolina and the General Government." This front-page article criticizes President Buchanan for inconsistencies in his actions towards South Carolina. The front page also contains infomration on South Carolina troops seizing the state arsenal and Arkansas and Alabama's secession status. An editorial on page 4 titled "Coercion" criticizes a recent article in the "New York Evening Post" which stated that Arkansas, Mississippi, and Louisiana could not secede from the Union. The editor believes that secession is inevitable and that the Union had already been dissolved without the formal secession of these 3 states. News on New Orleans on page 6. Advertisements to purchase and rent slaves throughout. Text is faded because of a lining over each page of the newspaper. The lining, which was used to fill in several holes in the paper, has made the document heavy and brittle, which has led to several tears at the edges.
