Congressional Deadlock and Southern Convention Debates

Governors Dodge and Jones, senators from Lown, were seated with terms extending to 1855 and the present session end respectively. Mr Underwood pressed a probe into the feasibility of a board and public land inventories. The Southern Convention in Washington adopted a platform urging equity for California and New Messena, preferring separation over the Wilmot Proviso, while reporting no new cholera cases or passenger infections aboard the ship New York.
