Prospectus for a Democratic Paper at the City of Manchester, The Union Democrat, dated January 1, 1851.

W.H. Gilmore and Co. is said to be the publisher of the paper which will cost $1.50 per year, or $1.25 per year if paid in advance. All of the committee is then listed and communication is directed to W.H. Gilmore, & Co., Publishers. At the bottom of the sheet is a space for people to list their names.
