The South Bend Free Press and Michigan City Times exchange insults calling each other liars and cowards. Van Buren Editor seeks to involve Loganport Telegraph, but the Telegraph declines to join the feud.
Senator Buchanan argues in a Senate speech that adopting the Sub Treasury Scheme will prevent executive interference with public funds by depositing money in banks. The implication is that placing funds beyond executive reach secures savings from manipulation.
The Indianapolis Democrat and Van Buren papers deny claims that Indiana Whigs abandon Gen. Harrison. They insist Harrison remains the Whigs’ preferred nominee, arguing he embodies sound Republican principles and would secure the party’s triumph against Van Buren.
The Eastern press signals a favorable shift in Washington politics. There is abundant specie and private wealth, with renewed enterprise as the public policy of the Administration may loosen. It is believed Van Buren's Sub Treasury will fail and Rives’s substitute may pass with amendments.
The speaker urges a continued contest between government officers and Banks over specie as the only path to restore confidence. If Congress allows solvent State Banks to be paid with public funds, those banks would resume specie payments and revive enterprise and wealth. This would employ laborers and spur national happiness and prosperity as the era of experiments passes.

The document recounts a pistol duel near Anacostia Bridge between Mr. Jones and Mr. Graves, with Mr. Wise and Mr. Cilley acting as seconds.

From Water town February 22 the Patriot forces are concentrated at French Creek on the St Lawrence and may cross to Hickory Island. Estimates of their numbers range from 500 to 2000.
