War Talk of Ohio Whigs on Texas and the Mexican War
A long Whig reforming tract argues that Texas never possessed the left bank of the Rio Grande and that U S forces provoked the Mexican War. It cites Texas annexation, treaties with France, and Santa Anna’s actions, urging Ohio delegates to Columbus for a mass state convention to condemn executive policy and nominate governors and national candidates.

British Manufactures and Cotton Trade Profit Motive
A National Intelligencer correspondent argues Britain gains more than twice what the U.S. does from cotton trade. Using 1846 returns, Britain's cotton manufactures exported value near 112,700,000 pounds. raw cotton cost 30,500,000 and processing costs 3,000,000 yield 69,200,000 in profits. The piece notes Britain’s policy to widen this base and remove duties to monopolize markets before 1846, highlighting merchant gains from cotton, linen, and iron.
