Planters urged to force sound currency via bank note withdrawal

The Charleston Patriot urges cotton planters to unite to pressure banks for specie backed currency before the next business season.

The Globe reports public surprise at Daniel Webster backing Drapers for the Paris consul post.

Fragmented 19th century discourse on virtue and politics fades

The text surveys a variety of topics from a moral will distributing virtues to different groups, to reports on Gen. Reed's death near Tallahassee and a series of political and financial commentary.
