* Treaty of Ghent
* End of War of 1812
The front page of this issue has the: "TREATY Of Peace And Amity, Between his Britannick Majesty and the United States of America." The treaty contains a preface that begins: "His Brittanick Majesty and the United States of America, desirous of termination the war...between the countries, and of restoring, peace...have, for that purpose, appointed their respective plenipotentiaries...", plus details about the representatives appointed by the King, and those by the President of the United States, all of whom "...after a reciprocal communication of their respective full powers, have agree upon the following articles..."
Hereafter, and concluding on pg. 2, are the eleven articles of the treaty, signed in type: John Q. Adams, James A. Bayard, Henry Clay, Albert Gallatin, and several others. Page 2 also has the message from the President that he forwarded a copy of the treaty to Congress, signed in type: James Madison.
Under "Grand Celebration" is a report about the local celebration marking the return to peace. Includes the lyrics of a ode that was sung commemorating the return of peace, and the order of procession that began at the State House and passed through the town.
Complete in four pages with some damp staining in the lower right quarter of the issue, a small piece missing in the lower left spine margin which affects a very small amount of text, otherwise in nice condition.
