The passage argues the sovereigns of the Bees form a despotic yet public-spirited system. It describes a perfect republic under a single ruler, the head of state, but not its master. It notes only females can be monarchs, calling Bees political subjects of a female line. The author promises future exact critique of the work and author.
A Washington Corres correspondent writes a defense of the Whig majority in Congress, praising their conduct during the final weeks. The piece recounts measures to restore economy, reform departments, curb corruption, and promote internal improvements, touting tariffs, debt relief, and a reorganization of government. It frames the Congress as elevating national honor and public finances while opposing a weak executive.
The piece quotes New York 6 percent stock prices and contrasts Kentucky’s credit with Whig steadiness to Locofocoism. It notes Richard Hussey’s Tyler era appointment as Light House Keeper and derides current officeholders as subservient in a prelude to 1844 politics.
The piece argues for tariff repeal to open markets for English and French imports, noting a Boston ship that carried four hundred bales of American cotton drillings to Liverpool. It praises American calicoes for finish and color, detailing rapid pattern production from New York to Providence and New York with lower prices, signaling strong domestic industry and innovation.
The Madisonian questions when the execution will occur and notes intent to attend. A Canton riot fact is reported as English seeking protection under the American flag during the disturbances.
The Huron Reflector reviews the boundary dispute with Great Britain stemming from a Paris map and Dr Franklin letters. It argues the American claim reflects the original boundary and praises Webster and Ashburton for prudent negotiation. Also reports on tariff effects, Lloyds and Boston cotton exports, and New York Ohio bank commissioner actions.
A Baltimore paper claims Mr Webster plans to declare for the presidency. It notes Webster’s influence in Washington waning after New York city removals and ultra Locofocos in office, suggesting he may follow the path of Ewing and others. In Connecticut Cleveland's election vote tally shows 97 votes with a majority needed for most officers except members of Congress.
The governor secretary and treasurer positions are filled by legislative appointment, with Locofoco candidates favored. All congress members are Locofocos, yet only one secured a majority of votes, highlighting the political split and party strength in the legislature.
New York Locofoco legislators vote to back Van Buren for president with a November convention, while contending state representation and urging no early meeting. The move deepens splits, risks multiple candidates, and alarms Calhoun supporters as Whigs gain strength across states. The Madisonian criticizes the caucus and warns of political fallout for Van Buren’s prospects.
A late National Intelligencer note reports Britain plans to recognize Hawaiian independence, bringing friendship and protection from two great powers. The piece lauds mission work transforming Hawaii, then shifts to spring gardening tips urging ornamental trees, fruit varieties, orderly beds, and household flowers to enhance homes and happiness.
A reflective critic questions who can pursue the arts and city life without feeling renewed admiration for nature. The piece wonders who can sustain harmony in growing leaves and balance the orbits of the city, while remaining a humane observer.
The fragment notes weeks of weather effects on crops with impressions of fruit set and vegetation. It mentions security concerns as May approaches, possible frost risk, and uncertainty about orchard damage. It also references past winter effects on crops and potential for a favorable year if conditions improve. Odds of hail, pests, and late freezes are noted in the county context.
