Free Trade Debates and British Grain Protection
The article argues that Britain protects its grain growers with hefty tariffs while urging the United States to consider similar protections. It notes Lord John Russell's Free Trade bill and urges Americans to discuss and act on protection for their own farmers and artisans before conceding more ground to foreign markets. The piece contrasts Britain's 150 percent home-market protection with proposed 10 percent added for transportation and questions U S policy. It cites the V S Tribune as a source for the call to national debate and decisive action.

Congress Dispatches Work in a Commendable Manner
The Cleveland Herald reports both chambers moving briskly. In the Senate the charter renewal for the Banks of the District of Columbia passed to third reading, with 80 yeas. The Home Squadron bill awaits the President's signature. A tax bill debate and numerous amendments occurred, with division on many points. The House passed the Revenue bill 116 to 101, and discussed a general bankrupt law, with Republicans and Locofocos split on the measure.

General Jackson’s stance on Tyler's veto and cabinet alignment are highlighted, along with expectations for Senate action after adjournment.
