Return of the Exploring Expedition sparks bank reform debate

From the N Y Evening Post June 1, a retrospective on the exploring expedition burdens and failures in Kentucky banking. The piece contrasts bank collapses of 1816 with today, urges strict controls, warns against whig folly, and highlights public distress while praising Democrats for calling for accountable bankers and responsible credit. The report also notes the Vincennes voyage and scientific voyages in the Pacific and Oregon Territory.

Several islands not charted were found and a Sun-worshiping tribe observed. One officer died at sea, and a cannibal chief, captured years ago, dies after imprisonment aboard the Vincennes. A large plant and seed collection is aboard for return to the United States.
