Gale News Vault has American sources. It's mostly British, but you can filter by country to exclude those.
A number of pubs there will also be found in the databases you list, but there are unique ones. Gale has become one of my top three go-to databases (along with ProQuest and American's Historical Newspapers) because of its breadth of coverage.
Nineteenth Century Collections Online is another good source. It's another Gale database, so I assume the newspaper coverage overlaps with the News Vault, but it has non-newspaper sources as well, including scans of manuscripts. (Although I've found the manuscript date metadata is unreliable.)

Subject: [ADS-L] Databases for Historical U.S. Searching
I am trying to do comprehensive searching for a certain phrase in U.S. newspapers or books or periodicals from the 1824-1878 period. I have already searched the following databases:
Newspapers.com
NewspaperArchive
ProQuest Historical Newspapers
America's Historical Newspapers
GenealogyBank
Chronicling America
19th Century U.S. Newspapers
Fulton History
Accessible Archives
JSTOR
HeinOnline
Google Books
Internet Archive
HathiTrust
Am I missing any U.S. databases from this time-peirod ?
