The front page prints a 2-column account from the New-York Evening Post on "Jefferson vs. Callender" concerning payments made by Jefferson to James T. Callender ostensibly to buy the latter's silence and this is followed on page 2 by an early public disclosure taken "from a Baltimore paper" of the long-term sexual "relationship" between President Thomas Jefferson and a woman enslaved to him Sally Hemings. After being refused an appointment to a postmaster position by Thomas Jefferson and issuing veiled threats of "consequences" journalist James T. Callender reported that "the President of the United States keeps and has for many years kept one of his own slaves as a concubine and that he has had several children by her." The article either by Callender himself in the third person or a political ally is signed by "One of the People." Jefferson made no public comment on the matter.

The paper was published regulary up until the time of the British occupation of Newport in December 1776 and was started up again in 1780 by Solomon Southwick in partnership with Henry Barber. Barber died in 1800 and the paper continued to be published by his wife Ann whose name had appeared in the Mercury imprint as early as 1795 and later their children.
