Opinion on Fugitive Slave Law by Mr. Crittenden
Mr Crittenden asserts the Fugitive Slave Bill does not suspend habeas corpus and aligns with constitutional delivery of fugitives. He cites Prigg v Pennsylvania and 1793 Act, arguing the bill creates a lawful, orderly process for recapture and custody, with no intent to suspend the writ. The opinion stresses Congress may legislate custody and removal, and the sixth section does not conflict with the Constitution or habeas rights.

Gold Mountain Rumors Spur Californias Far East Mine Tale
A New York Tribune piece reports on a California myth the Gold Mountain. It describes a remote desert region northeast of Los Angeles rich with minerals yet waterless and deadly, with a proposed Los Angeles Gold Mining Company racing to mine it. A cautious note says may not be a mountain of gold but a mineral bearing hill. It also covers American tea experiments in the South and political jabs on Whigs and Democrats.
