A discussion on the harms of drunkard rooms in public houses argues they foster idleness and ruin village character. The piece asserts temperance hotels work, criticizes keeping drunks in sight, and urges removing drunkard rooms to prevent pollution and decline. It cites contemporary notices from England and moves to public policy.
The piece surveys financial strains from bank redemptions and discount policies, notes the Safety Fund's weakened standing, and highlights nation wide pressures from foreign trade, falling prices, and bank suspensions. It cites regional remarks, fires in multiple cities, canal petitions, and political chatter about Gen Currizon and Harrison enthusiasm in the West.
The United States Gazette quotes a proposed addendum to a tirade against the late United States Bank. It claims that from its founding until the public deposits moved, the National Bank handled over four hundred million dollars in public funds without loss and without charging the government any fee, a claim the Treasury Secretary could confirm.
From the Albany Journal the Argus editor’s critique questions the true value of the State Printing office. It contrasts Croswell’s claim of 2400 dollars per year with the Argus’s figure of 30000 plus a 30000 annual potential, noting the danger of partisan bias in official salaries and pondering which statement reflects truth. A Baltimore-North American excerpt follows about a freezing mother and dead children, denouncing law abuses while noting missionary Cephas Bennett’s arrival in New York January 22.
