Convention of Friends and Pittsburgh distress in Pennsylvania
The speech notes the Convention as a body of respected citizens including Friends, urging government restraint and warning of a crisis. It discusses Pennsylvania’s policy of encouraging manufactures, factory closures, unemployment, and the risk of broader ruin if remedies are not found. The memorial questions the accuracy of the distress claims and the potential political manipulation behind them.

Post Office contracts draw fire in senate report
A Senate committee report exposes bid rigging and excessive “extras” in Post Office mail contracts. It details contracts inflated from 200 to 7,000 dollars a year and up to 40,000 with extra charges, plus a $260,000 liability. The Reeside payoffs, clerical pencil errors, and sham bidding are highlighted as proof of corruption within the department. Affected parties include Reeside and unnamed contractors who leveraged political connections to secure favorable terms. The piece notes whistleblower tone and calls the practices reckless and wasteful.
