Boston Club Sketches an 1844 Melioration Dinner
An 1844 Boston letter from H Case, secretary, cites club rubrics and resolutions. It mocks prudish talk, notes a September thirty-first gathering with dinner at five, and asks critics like Clams to keep quiet while preserving dignity and club traditions.

Not 1840 but 1844 Election Trends Revealed
The article notes a shift since 1840 with Democrats gaining ground in key states. It cites North Carolina as an example where Whig gains collapsed, while states like Illinois and Missouri show reduced Whig strength. The piece argues 1844 is not a repeat of 1840, signaling Democratic momentum and an absence of generalized voter apathy.
