The Fremont Journal reports on the Buchanan administration era, naming the new cabinet members Lewis Cass Cobb Floyd Touvey Thompson Brown and others, with commentary on the Dred Scott decision and its political impact. It discusses party disagreements, northern opposition to slavery expansion, and reactions from papers like the Tribune and Cincinnati Gazette.
A Toledo trade commentary critiques Mr Buchanan s Inaugural as a geographic contest favoring Slave States and sectional influence in his cabinet. It questions optimism on emancipation of domestic slavery and previews attention to the Pacific Railroad and presidential actions to come.
The March 1 session records lengthy remarks by Mr. Rawk of Fryetto and Mr. Ey a old, with the Senate voting 56 to 28 on a reform measure prohibiting jail confinement for noncriminals, and 18 to 13 on Mr Benzoo's resolutions.
