Notes
Sometime between issues of December 16, 1840 and April 13, 1842 – most likely in early 1841 – Eichelberger resumed sole ownership of paper, and continued in that role until mid-September 1843; he conveyed the journal to writer John C. Bowyer (1803-80) at that time with approbation of local Democratic party leaders who were seeking to overcome the Whig domination of state and national offices established in the 1840 cycle.
