Bragg and Taylor noted for battlefield leadership in dust clouds
The account recalls General Bragg praising Colonel Taylor as the inspiring presence that turned the tide at Buena Vista. Eyewitnesses recount firing rates of about 250 rounds per man and a dense volley within fifty yards, while witnesses cite the will and resolve attributed to General Taylor amid perilous odds and the belief he could never be defeated.

March of Treason in Ohio Pledges LoCo Candidates
The Carrell Free Press reports Locofocos in several Ohio counties urging candidates to refuse office unless their party controls the Legislature. A May convention resolution calls Dem voters to oppose Whig apportionment and to back Locofoco candidates who would seek a special session to overturn existing laws. Voters in Huron and Erie Counties are reminded these nominees are pledged not to take seats unless their party holds a majority, stirring fears of government upheaval.

Delano’s Pro Van Buren stance spans party lines in Ohio
The narrative notes Col Columbus Delano publicly backing Van Buren in early July and August letters to Free Soil groups, criticizing Whig support for slavery limits, while contrasting Bartley’s Locofoco talk on Cass and Taylor. It also covers Free Soil activity in Louisiana and New York conventions, linking political alignments to abolitionist and anti slavery positions through region and date markers.

Land Holders Propose Sale Terms for School Lands
School lands should not be sacrificed to raise land values. If sold, offer them after appraisal for one fourth of one fifth of the price in hand with four to five years credit for the balance. Western Reserve Senators and Representatives would grasp the credit plan. An able review is on the first page.
