Letter to the Editor from Washington City April 1835
A Washington City letter discusses the Bank of the United States in New York fixing a January payment, Biddle’s criticisms of them, and questions why they did not pay. It notes uncertainty about the Subtreasury, pending appropriation bills, cabinet changes, Poinsett's illness, and predicts Whig gains in New York and the 1835 elections, raising doubt about Whigs aligning with Abolitionists.
