Welcome to the Unionist
William Goodell
Genius of Temperance, Philanthropist and People’s Advocate 1833-08-07, v. 4, n.5
Positive notice
Transcription
A new paper called “The Unionist” has commenced at Brooklyn. Con. by Charles C. Burleigh, Esq., a gentleman of learning and talents. It is “pledged to no party” but promises to advocate “temperance, virtue, and sound morality.” We are pleased to add, for the credit of Windham County, (in which, by the bye, the writer of this paragraph spent several of his earlier years) that the disgraceful proceedings at Canterbury and the mockery of law enacted to shield and sustain them, are treated according to their merits, in the columns of the Unionist. We wish it success. And may the Putnams of that region ever be shrewd in tracing public pests to their dark retreats, and bold in dragging them forth to the day light, regardless of their fiery eyes, and their growling. A liberal support to the Unionist would do much towards retrieving the character of Connecticut from the disgrace cast upon it, by A.T. Judson, and his associates.
About this Item
It is interesting that William Goodell - who had helped to launch Charles Burleigh to this editorship by publishing his letter to the editor back in May of 1833 - should here disclose his own local connection to Windham county.
