The article focuses on various political issues. A journal which commonly inculcates the virtues of truth and decent speech by presenting an awful example of what a newspaper is without them, gave, a severe and well-merited reproof to a contemporary. In the latter, some poor creature, mixed of equal parts of ghoul and Paul Pry, had sought to win the applause of whatever is ghoul and Paul Pry in public sentiment by going over former U.S. President Abraham Lincoln's household accounts, and showing how the nation had been plundered by the domestic extravagance of the late President's family.
