General Scott receives a rousing welcome in Columbus after a telegraph from Cleveland, as crowds fill streets and a memorial speech lauds his wartime leadership. A lengthy excerpt recounts a former governor’s defense of Scott over Pierce, arguing for western improvements and US industry while condemning political factionalism.
An editorial denounces chronic critics of General Scott from the 1840s to the present. It praises Scott as a patriot and warns against libelous attacks, predicting patriots will vindicate his name by placing him in the highest office. The piece frames ongoing slander as disloyal to the country and urges supporters to ignore bile from revilers.
A party split over protectionist policy contrasts Jacksonian era pleas for tariffs with modern free trade views. The piece cites Jackson’s 1824 letter praising U S tariffs and Ohio’s 1828 resolution urging protection for wool, iron, and domestic goods, arguing Locofoco drift toward British interests harms American industry.
John Quincy Adams praises General Scott, calling him a pacifier and crediting his service with preserving national peace. He asserts Adams has never met a man with more virtuous claims and expects such testimony to outweigh attacks by Locofocos.
A Washington letter notes the State Rights faction within the Democratic party realigns toward independent action since the Baltimore Convention. It cites Georgia South Carolina Mississippi Alabama Texas and Florida where secession sentiment dominates and predicts electoral impact, including potential support for Gen Scot. The piece frames the move as pivotal to defeating Pierce.
A Clermont Courier report notes W. E. Robinson of New York offers one hundred dollars for proof that any of eight statements from his speech are false. He claims this settles slander and urges witnesses to expose truth or retract abuse. The item ties to Pierce and King era politics.
Henry C. Carey argues railroads are vital for market access, but land gains value primarily when consumers and producers are linked. He cites Belgium and France where proximity to buyers raises land worth, while distant, costly transport dampens value and prompts reliance on distant markets.
