Notes
Effort failed in this session, Martinsburg was not incorporated as a city until 1868, and then by an act of the legislature of the new state of West Virginia. Sheet lacks colophon; clearly a petition from Martinsburg where the only press was then conducted by John Alburtis; so the attribution here.
