State Printing and Locofocoism in the House
The Locofocos dodged bids for session printing then awarded to Medary at last year's price, despite Scott and Bascom offering a lower bid. Medary’s bid was about 95 percent higher than theirs, a move that finagled four to five thousand dollars into his coffers at the public expense. The Lacafore Free Democrats joined the O14 Huokere in this scheme.

Giddings Faction Shifts, Free Soil Ties Grow Across Ohio
Washington correspondent notes Giddings shifts away from Whig alliance toward Democracy. He may back Wood against Whig gubernatorial hopefuls and lean toward Free Soil. Ohio Whigs and Democrats condemn Giddings and Rom for obstinacy weakening anti slavery influence amid mass abolition debates at Syracuse where Gerrit Smith faced disunion criticisms and Smith’s substitutes were adopted by a 3 to 1 vote.

Bellevue Steam Mills described by local observer
A Bellevue friend in Huron county describes the Bellevue Steam Mills built by Messrs Lawrence and Hiarex. The stone mill measures 80 by 36 feet, 38 feet high, with four burr stone runs capable of grinding 18 bushels per hour totalling about 1723 bushels daily, using under three and a half cords of wood. The design concentrates power on the machinery, cutting needed equipment roughly in half and boosting stone power, thanks to millwright Sisan Gieprs innovations. The writer suggests visitors to Bellevue Steam Mills may gain practical benefit.
