This weekly publication was originally established as nonpartisan, however by 1840 began to display sympathies for the whig party. It is composed of four pages, two in english and two in french. By the 1840's it had become an entirely english-language publication. It covered various issues such as politics, buisness, advertisement, and entertainment news. The paper is also known for featuring a large number of notices for runaway slaves.
