Greenfield (Mass.) Gazette & Franklin Herald, Greenfield, Mass., Tuesday, June 2, 1835 by Phelps, A., Editor - 1835

Greenfield, MA: Phelps & Ingersoll, 1835. 40 x 54 cm. From the Baltimore Patriot: Lengthy discourse on ""The Van Buren Convention"", full of strife, bickering and ill-feeling. New York delegates unprincipaled; Virginians were laughed at, derided and insulted; Ther New York delegation found the New Jersey, Massachusetts and Maine Jacksonism so pliable that it could be moulded as New York pleased. The prospect of the Whigs is now a glorious one.... [Note: Van Buren was president, 1837-1841.] Washing Sheep. Many seem to think that they more dirt they can sell with the wool the more gain. Editorial on The Baltimore Convention: No one off the packed assemblage dared to vote contrary to the known will of Gen. Jackson (who was then President). Great Meeting at Faneuil Hall: A series of resolutions, approving of the nomination of Daniel Webster for the presidency. Mr. Clayton has recovered the balloon which left him dangling on a house top in his last attempted ascension. It was found on the bank of the Licking river, about 15 miles from Cincinnati. A trial of a locomotive engine was made on the Lowell Rail Road. A number of gentlemen made the passage from Boston to Lowell in an hour and fifteen minutes. Newspapers . Catalogs: .
