There is but litilw said in regrtrd to politics at the
present time tnnch less than we bad reason to
suppose there would be, judging from the eteite
ment and interest manifested by the fiiends of Ihe
different candidates on the itay of the di legate con
vention. Out such was the fair and honorable
manner with which ihe proceedings of the conven.
tion were conducted, that not the least complaint
from a single disinterested person who witnessed
them, was ever heard. Nor do we believe thst there
is a ronsistent democrat in the county who is tint
sitisl'icd wi'h the ticl.et. That the small squad of
diaotg.Miisers who managed last year to foim a
ticket with closed doors, should be dissatisfied with
the fiir, open ai d honor. d ie manner which charac
terised the proceedings of the la'e convention, is not
su-prisirg. Knowing that a large mijrity of thn
people were opposed to ibem. nnd that they could
never succeed without some kind of bargain, sale
and management, they of course feel indignant that
the people have thwarted th'm in their deiiin. The
democratic parly will, however, be but tit le dis ur
bed by the machination of these interested, ollire
hunting, patent democrats, who are never sitisficd
with the tii ket, except when Ihey or their particu
lar friends are pi ced upon it, nnd these are the on
ly persons that have nnde any objections to the
ticket.

has published an interesting account ofhiti de
fcent of the river St. Lawrence, frmii Kingston
to Montronl, in a small ftoam schooner on the
Hriscnn principle. He cleserihes the hcenery
on the route as the most beautiful th.it the ima
gination can depict. At one place in the Ce
dar rapids the water is said to run at the rate
a mile a minute, and he passed over three miles
in four minutes. At the Ijichinc rapids, ten or
twelve miles from Montreal, vessel" go down a
fill of seven feet, and dart along with iueon
eeivable rapidity. In these rapids the channel
is in some places so narrow, that ix feet either
way would prove fatal.
