be placed to their credit. We shall esteem an
auontsori to this notice a favor, which we . will
endeavor to repay by continued exertions to in--

In the first week of January next, we shall
enlarge the size of.the Journal ;int at that time
nearly !WOO will be due for suscnptions, the
receipt of which will materially assist in de

improvement. We will she find n necessary to

all aubscrtptiona due to that period, will greatly
benefit ourselves, and Bevel a great deal of labor
in transferring balar.ces on old accounts.
Our Borough.—W hen a coutiumms
rail road is completed irom
to this place, Pottsville is destaneu L. be
come the resort of the tasiiiminule and the
invalid. The imaubrity of our climate,
„the romantic beauty ut tue atijaceet

our w g operations, aid each hove their
effect to etilicrhg, travellers to visit th*. —

mug air can be moll freely breathed, of
where a greeter stiieulus is utiercl fur ex
ercise that in surveying the uuwt..l anti
' artificial wonders of the Anthracite' Re
won. A. little: attention
. and forethought
on the part of our citizens, to the beuuiy
aesd.comtOrt of our Borough wig tend must
materially to effect this end; and to !to way
can this more serviceably be employed
than by planting trees akin our streets.
We would therefore propose, the forma
tion of an association fur this purpose, of:
which each member should band himself to
plant at least one tree annually. In a few
years by this means, our borough would have
that beautiful fresh appearance which ds
tinguishes New Haven, and other eas:ern
towns. Our vicinity will soon be destitute
of trees ; the purposes of mining will strip
_our hills of their 101 rage, and their hare
and blackened brows be reared before us
without beauty or verdure. Our Borough,
situated in a valley, needs protecting and
refreshing shade during the beat of sum•
mer, and a l lude attention can soon trans
form. it into .t lovely garden. Who that
has ever passed one of those beautiful vistas
which lend a charactei to the New Eng

such an assoctatiott its hi.ited at above,
which will be but a little Individual expense

New York Election.—ln our last we
gave a short Postcript containing the pre
monitory reports 01 the Triumph which
the Whigs have achieved in the Empire:
State. Although we participated in the
general joy at the defeat of loco focoann ;
in the City, we have been oink agreeabll
surprised at the enure resplt. Our antici
pations were sanguine; based on the known.
intelligence and patriotism of their comtnu-1
nity, but the result has exceeded our most!
sanguine hopes. To have carried the eno
tire State by a majortiy- of 10 or 12,000,1
as is now conceded by the A (go. arid
Post;- to have elected n ninjorilv of the'
members of Cong'ess, and the So,te

The result of this election is of vital
portance to our country gem-rally. It sei

and guarantees the re-election of Mr. .1"al

popular opinion has turned into its correct
chatinel;- that the n sober second thought' .

CMuidian Intelligence.—The accounts

t. John's has been strengthened from

The first intelligence received has been
o full of contradictor} rumors that we
new it hardly adviseable -to give place to
hem, Should. the troubles prove'perma.
ent, we intend to_ keep our readers well

y trust the present reports are predicated
theon some temporary outbreak, and that
ihe quiet of our frontier will nut be inter

England . and Canada---England
-mws as little of the relative feeling he.

0 other praor4 that the Tory mist ry
FP ignorant of their true polie, than:their
•iifamous and cavalier treatment of Lord
Durham, and their 'remarks connecting
or Executive with the • insurrectionary
movements of their Colonies. They ar
gue•that all ~ the sympathisers are emissa
ries-of Mr. Va'n Boren, and challenge the
conduc( of Lord Durham, for permitting
any inhabitant of the United States to en
ter Canada without a passport ! They
also accuse the late Governor of alienating
the loyalty of the British settlers, and at
tribute the desertions of the Foolish troops
to the temptations of these same emiss
aries.of Mr. Van Buren. •
We know nothing more ridiculow than
these i•oanings and perversions of their
press: it shows either inlentinnal misrep
resenta-tion, or the greatest stutiloquence.
The flame of civil commotion has again
broken forth, among the Canadians, but
all prophecied invasion from the United
States has proved groundless. 1 f England
has the wish and the powei to retain her
possessions, why is it that her accumula

The idea that our (lovernment Becks a

trenie; there is perhaps as little iommon
feeling, between them, a. b. 1 ciee”Ti Enaland
and her colonies.. Polley has lona point
ed nut the disadvantages of a fu rther' in-

that the anneAation of Texas would not be
productive of common advantage, althrarzh
every sympathy was enli-tvd in her prOs•
prrity. Millen our Qnvernment thoin•ht
it impolitic to receive the off-red embrace
of Texas in a union of kindred heat is and

she is within/ to.expend her resources and
shed her blood for Canada? Is it that
while the latter is endowed with but a
uteri) soil, and regions of p”rerinial and al
most everlasting snow, she holds out more
allurements, than the rich sunny glades of
the tOrmer, where nature is Always smi

sponianeously to the hushandom? As
4urredlv not : we seek no connection with
Cana la: she has our sympattiies;and those
who seek asylum from her foes, must meet
protection on our soil. The liberty
of speech and the speech of liberty cannot
be checked, but the purgflame of freedom
in our land, will never be kindled with an
incendiary torch, and the spirit of strict
national neutrality will never he abandon
en. All fears on this head are idle, our
countrymen have inn much self-respect to
embroil our- government in a contrnversy,
where there is nothing to via, and where
tears and lamentations will be the only
fruits.

It is one of the beauties of the sub:treasu

palliation in behalf of . the government,
says, n commenced in 1829! Pretty logic
truly—what has the treasury department
been abouLfor nearly ten years? lf, , as the
Locos would inti,mate the defalcation coinr,'
menced when the U. S. Bank was the fit
cal agent of 'Government, why were not
the examining committees of Congress
allowed to yrosecute their investigations?
It looks black, and we only trust that the
embeZzlement may be brought home to
the perpetrator, and an example. made of
him, if possible, fur the benefit of future

human tile, this event:must soon transpire,
we may scarcely expect to hear much ore
pacific nature from the quarter. Although_
the dissenting party do out charge tne
Emperor of itussia with any muster d,e

The Hy tug visits of the - Czar to the venous
European capitals are said to have in
view the matrimonial establishment of his
daughters, but it would not be , too touch
to suppose that on these occasions, he will
lend his help where policy may require.
At all events, if a rupture should take

we may therefore expect ere long to hear
of some mighty' flare-up, in which the:Au

place here on Monday last; we al know it
is a good Whig state, but we fear the
division growing out of the law, prohibit•

our cause in jeopardy. Of such weak ma

New York election, that they had a cor

as the glad tidings should he announced! .
The Whigs hoWever were .not disposed-to
be made light of, and threw such afire
into their opponents; that every loco foci)

Connecticut therefore did not blaze, the
powder was not burned, and the cannon
were carried home to wait till.the "re-ac
