On the 15t of December, 1F1)1, the

Thus, within the-last tilreeyeare,
,there has been
effected a reduc?ion of .upwards of seven hundred
thousand dollars of indetelness, without impairing
the efficiency of the pub4e works, or retarding any

I do nut 'hit-sites to attribute this important re

The propriety of calling upon the National Gov

'etie presidcd.at the meeting. and speeches were made
by a-number Of distinguished citizens, both of Philadel
phia end the interior of the State. Hen' H. A. Mehlen•
berg, of forks county, was present. and being called up
on Made a very eloquent speech in favor of the road.—
Daring his roam** hst spoke of the wise forethought of
• ,
our forefathers in securing to us the county of Erie, with
its valeablebarbor. sad :hi showed the tenacity with
which Peensyltania had adhered to het claim Sn the tow
ritory in dispute. The re... 00 of this. ho said, was that
the lima' men of those rimer forerair the future griit
ness oPthe lake trade. sal that it bit the richest
prise to be sooght for on t h American continent. The
harbor of Erie, he saidi is six mites square, free from ice
earlier in the spring and later in the fall than any otter
harbor on the lakes; and for all 'purposes of water c
assaitation it is superior to any of t , the lake Posts, He
spoke of the difference of the gauge if the portion erthe
Lake Shore Reamed mooing through Pesibsylvania from
that portion lying in Ohio and New York; and he said
that it bad purposely been caused by the Legislature of .
Pennsylvania in order that the neetwaty for the tranship
meet of goods at Eno might give to both Noir York and
' Philadelphia a fair c./Distc• thence for the trade. Great
efforts have been made to get this altered. and alert York
threatens to spend a , hundred thousand chillers to `have
the act repealed; bat the 'spesker said, that there was pi
triotisin enough in the Legislature, he knew. to resist all
such attempts. Ala. then. trade and travel mast be trans
shipped at Erie. it would naturally take qi. shortest route
to the seaboard; and then ro e.,t o d to , s h ow that ibe
Sunbury and Erie Railroad „c- :•1 'ie ninety miles less
than the New Yoe.; and E. , is, sot eisisiquently that it
would be the mote preferable of :be two. To show that
'the road would be profitable to the stockholders, he qao-•
ted the large amounts spent by New York in her roads
to the west, and `the ample return, they hate made.—
Notwithstanding the large amounts spirit on her roads,
there has never beeu may diffientty in procuring addi
tional appropriations or subscription.. Mr. hi. argued
that the local trade of thieproposed toad would be suffici
ent to maiutain it, and in this cennection he referred to
the in:mecum qaantit.ea of land Lying idle I. those parts
of the State, because there is no road to take their pro
ducts to market. Iflhere were any each avenues they.
would he immediately developed. In tore
,years, the
time it Would bike to construct the road, the whole adja
cent country would be settled. With o„e-third of the
amount necessary already . subscribed by the interior,
wall Ph.iladelphiaaegleet to lend het helping handl Mr.
Mahlenberg was attentively listened to, and closed with
much applause.
We had thought. and still hope that this disgraceful.
unmanly said brutal practice, blia passed from the swotss
governing the Navy of the United Slates; and thit. its
name warild only be heard hereafter during the recita
tion of a " yarn " by some venerable old tar, whilere
'countiog ensues upon the quarter-deck. of a man-of-war
in times gone by t But it appears that wale of the Com
manders of the Navy are not satisfied without the privi
lege of the use of brute farce, and through their
agents in Congress they an already moving to reinstate
the hush on board ship,—to have the glorious privilege of
hauling up one of their own flesh and blood, and setting
some fiend of a Boatswain at him, to lash him until 14
back bus more the appearance of a mass of - wounded
flesh and blood, that that of a human man. The reasons:
assigned for this are, that men cao,not be governed wittr-:
