Abstract:

This is a reprint of a letter written by writer and Secretary of the Navy James Kirke Paulding to President John C. Calhoun. This letter was written in response to a speech given by Calhoun on March 4, 1850 as part of the debate on Clay's resolutions which formed the basis for the Compromise of 1850. Paulding had revealed himself in other writing to be sympathetic to the Southern position and to the institution of Slavery, and those sentiments are reflected in this letter.

Abstract:

This article looks at advertisements printed in North Carolina newspapers between 1751 and 1778 for information about the communities in which the papers were printed, as the editorial portions of the papers carried little comment on the local scene. With an abundance of advertisements being concerned with matters relating to property and trade, the author gives specific attention to advertisements relating to slaves and servants, real and personal property advertisements, and trade, commerce and industry reflected in advertising.
