The Worcester Whig Convention resolutions affirm loyalty to Whig principles, call for national economic reform, currency regulation, land proceeds sharing, and state economy. They endorse a Baltimore National Convention in May 1844 and pledge support to unite with other states for the national good.
Memorials in Boston urge U.S. remonstrance against British occupancy of the Sandwich Islands. Public notices from Honolulu dated Feb 1843 disclose duties for island goods, France’s rep. claims rules, liquor licenses and the king’s reduced power under British commissioners with Lord Paulet approval.
The document cites Secretary of State Webster's 1812 stance that the Sandwich Islands should be governed by its people and not subjected to foreign conquest. It states the United States will resist possession or exclusive privileges by any power, and urges respect for the existing government. It warns that Britain asserting control would define the government's course accordingly.
The Clay County Banner notes a company of four to five hundred emigrants left Westport for Oregon. About 150 wagons drawn by oxen and a horse for nearly each person, with many cows. The party appears as hardy land resolve pioneers led by Clerfice.
Jo an R. Osborn responds to libel from Sewmuel L. Hunteh and Joseph A. Farr accusing him of corrupt use of office as Huron county prosecutor.

The Journal of Commerce cites flow of specie as a reason to modify the tariff, while Locofoco papers counter with accusations of credit for Brough and Hubbind. The piece mocks claims of nationwide credit and argues that protecting tariffs benefits northern prosperity against southern opportunism.
The piece praises the Whig Tariff with rising wheat and cattle prices and a shift toward cash sales. It claims high prices negate Locofoco fears and urges solvent banks and currency, accusing the Locofoco party of opposing a domestic paper currency and pledging to repeal the Tariff. It asks readers to support or oppose these aims.
Whig organizers push early nominations in Sever and surrounding districts. Joseph Ridgeway again named in Franklin Licking Knox, signaling a strong, united effort to counter hard money radicals. Central committees planned, urging timely action before July 15 to place a candidate in the field.
The piece notes President Tyler’s eastern journey with weeks of preparation by government officials and advice from Robert Tyler, his son, urging a restrained reception and avoiding crowds seeking office favors. Public response appears cool, with minimal sympathy or affection for the president.
