Slavery debate shapes church unity and policy
In Cincinnati a report outlines three memorial classes on slavery and a debate on whether slaveholding is a sin. The General Assembly of the United States Presbyterian Church declines ecclesiastical discipline for slaveholding, urges peacemaking with slaveholders, and cautions against schism between North and South. It calls for humane treatment and religious instruction for slaves and notes efforts by slaveholding ministers to expand grace. The assembly rejects abolishing slavery by church law, while urging reform of unjust laws and a broader missionary approach.

State Printing Writ Stays Bid Law Fight in Ohio
The Supreme Court granted a writ of injunction at Sam Medary’s request to stay the State Printing under the new law that lets the lowest bidder win. Medary and allies Wood and Burchard oppose the measure, arguing it preserves a partisan press and drains public funds. The public would gain thousands yearly if the law stands, reducing costs and preventing electioneering printing.

Fire on Lower Bridge Drives Blaze Through Local Mills
A Tuesday morning fire on the Lower Bridge spread to Beaumont and Hollingsworth’s floating mill on the Putnam side, recently bought for 14600 and storing 8000 to 7000 bushels of wheat and some barley. The Carding Machines and Woolen Factory of Mr. Thomas nearby were entirely consumed with no insurance. The bridge lacked coverage and the night’s calm aided spread, with investigators suspecting arson.
