Texas Question Finale in Senate with Benton Speech
The Texas annexation bill faced a decisive vote after Mr. Benton spoke two hours on the rejected Texas treaty and the President's latest message. The motion to lay the bill on the table passed without debate, ending the session’s Texas debate for now. Extraordinary Discovery of a Rogue details John R. Rickett’s long frauds, forged letters, and bronze smuggling, with his arrest and confessions. The note recalls past political charges about Mr. Clay and Mr. Adams, and counters the claim as unfounded. A brief anecdote from the New Orleans Herald notes a wealthy citizen helping tenants by directing them to his agent for housing keys. The Mississippi flood is described with dramatic harboring, boats moving families, and vivid river imagery.
