A speaker argues that labor policy should lift workers from poverty and ignorance, asserting labor’s voice in Congress and warning that failure to empower labor could force drastic changes to revenued laws and the government. He notes he planned a shorter speech and yields the floor with a closing notice to competitors.
A detailed account from the New York Courier and Enquirer argues General Scott was undermined by secret moves to place party loyalties above military merit in Mexico. It traces how Congress and the War Department allegedly altered the army bill to create six new generals, aiming to sideline Scott and Taylor, while Scott pressed for needed staff and reinforced readiness before leaving for Rio Grande. The piece alleges presidential disapproval and Cabinet maneuvering shaped by partisan goals, with Scott confronting the secretary over the plan and timing.
The Buffalo Express reproduces extracts from Mr M Lane's correspondence with Secretary of State Buchanan regarding the Oregon Treaty proposals. Lane states the British terms largely mirror the current treaty with limited land and river jurisdiction, urging Senate sanction for any modifications and warning that the administration may not accept the plan. He argues navigation rights on the Columbia be settled for a period to suit British interests, while criticizing a push to permanent navigation. The piece traces this to the Baltimore Convention and the Polk administration’s actions through June 15, 1846.
The document outlines the Oregon Treaty between the United States and Britain with ratification steps and boundaries on the 49th parallel, Fuca Strait, and navigation rights.

From the St Louis Republican we learn of the St Joseph's emigrant party to Oregon. They endured vast hardships during their journey losing seventy five of their number.
