Cause, starvation." (1)
H&G Feb. 2; ed: 2/3 - See Postal Service
H&G Mar. 7; ed: 2/4 - See Foreign Relations
1214 - H&G Mar. 13:2/3 - Lyman W. Hall, Esq., of Hudson has become associated
with Mr. Dewey in publishing that sterl ing Whig paper, the
OHIO STAR. (1)
1215 - H&G Mar. 13: 2/3 - H. Bowen, Esq., has become an associate editor
of the Akron BALANCE, another efficient advocate of the cause of the
people in Portage county. The BALANCE has raised the Clay flag. (1)
1216 - H&G Mar. 16: 2/5 - "Important! - Dreadful weather - horrible roads -
no mails - no neViS - and we just pop into say that a most egregious
blunder occurred in the Assessment of Cuyahoga county, published yesterday,
viz: substituting 'Houses' for 'Horses' over one of the columns
in the table. Can't help it - the reader is a happy fellow, who has no
worse ertor to correct." (1)
1217 - H&G Mar. 21; ed:2/4 - "As we expected, the Albany ARGUS has dropped
the head of 'Democratic Reactions.' The EVENING JOURNAL has taken
it·up, and every number of that sterling Whig paper bears proof that the
people of N. York have indignantly spurned ·Locofocoism' at the polls."
(2)
1218 - H&G Mar. 28; ed: 2/3 - "We are sorry to see that 'these times that
try men's purses' have compelled our neigl-tbors of the ADVERTISER, to
come down from a daily to a semi-weekly sheet. There is consolation however
in store, as they promise in their next to publish the late speech of
Col. Benton in the Senate, in which their idol asserts that the business
and currency of the country are in a prosperous condition! If so, their
new arrangement shows Van Buren, loco-focoism 'hard up' in this quarter.
The destructive doctrines advocated by that paper recoil on the publisher
sooner than we expected they would, or else there is still 'no pressure
which any honest man should regret.'" (2)
1219 - H&G Apr. 7; ed:2/3 - Mr. Harmon has discontinued the COUNTRY
INTELLIGENCER, publ ished at Bedford, and revived the WESTERN COURIER
at Ravenna.
,iThe COURIER will be Loco-Foco, and as Mr. Harmon is a worthy, industrious
man, we wish his paper better success than his politics. The
Loco-Focos ought certainly to sustain at least one paper in old Portage;
the Whigs do three spirited ones." (1)
