Debates on Wheat Duties and Foreign Trade Policy
The letter argues England will cut duties harming US agriculture, noting Britain’s reliance on Mediterranean and northern European wheat. It estimates US exports and domestic demand, warns against following English policy, and questions its relevance to other crops. The piece then mocks partisan figures and raillery about congressional manners and Oregon debates.

Consequences of War and Political Debates in Washington
We summarize a lengthy report from Washington with dates to the 12th. Discussions in the House on the harbor and river appropriation reveal split opinions over St Louis harbor improvements and Mississippi navigation. In the Senate, Reverdy Johnson addresses Oregon questions, while a committee investigates treason rumors tied to the Oregon issue. An essay from Albert Gallatin argues war weighs most on workers and farmers, not the elite, and details the Richmond Pleasants death and related political fallout.
