Economy of Railroads and Land Value Gains
Mr Degrand of Boston argued at the South Shore Railroad opening that railroads add wealth to communities. He estimated land near the line increases by about 350 per acre, with each mile creating 2,560 acres of value at 30 per acre, yielding at least 100,000 profit per mile. Railroads thus pay for themselves via land value gains and broader economic benefits.

New Phase of Locofocoism in Medina
The Medina Whig attacks a Cass Locofoco effort to lure Free Soilers into backing S. P. Chase for the U. S. Senate against Banks. The piece frames the move as a union plan with Van Buren Secofocos, denounces Locofoco changes, and predicts limited impact on Whig strength while noting a prior Birney defection. It cites a Locofoco who joined Birney in 1844 and predicts most Whigs remain loyal.
