Senatorial discussion centers on Mr Clay's land bill and the deposit act. Speakers challenge treasury actions, advocate hard money on the seaboard, and demand investigations into deposit banks while Arkansas and Michigan issues shape committee considerations.
Tuesday in Senate Mr Webster submitted resolutions on the condition of deposit banks and sought unanimous consent for immediate consideration. The resolution asks the Secretary of the Senate to provide the latest Treasury statement detailing the banks, including names and other particulars.
Mr Benton urged the senator to withdraw his opposition while noting the committee may draft a joint resolution for admission today, and stated he would not oppose the reference.
From the New Orleans American the Harrison Flag argues Gen. Harrison, defeated in 1836, will become President in 1810 if the GOP spares him. It credits his soldier and statesman service, decries executive influence and press falsehoods, and calls for continued campaigning and recruiting until his banner flies over the Capitol.
A late Paris dispatch recounts M Thiers returning from Venice to discuss affairs with Marshal Gerard and the king. An abortive mutiny at Strasburg led by Prince Louis Bonaparte failed as soldiers resisted and helped arrest the conspirators. A Vendome mutiny also failed. Paris grows uneasy over military unrest with the Duchesse de St Leu in London amid reports of disputes over her son’s fate.
The Duchess protests being kept apart from her son Charles X's family and says she has appealed to the Emperor of Austria to act as mediator in the dispute.
The Ohio Senate Friday debated judiciary circuit changes and related bills. A committee report unfavorable to reforms was tabled. Bills from the House included divorce and alimony amendments, Civil duties for Justices and Constables, and New Haven town incorporation. A Kenton county bill reconsideration failed 11 to 19, with votes listed.
The Ohio House debated Samuel Strong's contempt charge after depositions praising his character were read. A resolution affirmed the House may punish breaches of its privileges, and Strong faced reprimand by the Speaker at 3 PM the next day, with the vote 41 to 21.
Bills read the third time and passed renewing a divorce and alimony amendment granting the Supreme Court power to grant divorces after two years absence. Other measures include county formations, tax collection changes, and militia committee actions with Niagara ship canal discussion paused.
The Cincinnati Whig reports General Santa Anna and Col Almonte passing through Louisville en route to Washington. They were greeted by crowds while changing boats, with descriptions of Santa Anna as tall and intellectual yet tyrannical, and Almonte as a sharp, wily figure who speaks English fluently. The piece hints that their Texas independence aim involves declaring Texas free at the federal seat.
