"We -e< it announced that the Canal Covn nussnjK v.s have Adopted a resolution to re- j dii'-c the fare on tie- Columbia Railroad to 2i cents per mile, in consequence of which the j Directors of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com- 1 j have lowered the fare to Pittsburgh to ; S'd. All this sounds very well, but we hope i when the directors again have up the subject ! ■of fires, thy will take into consideration the i gr<>.-s injii.-tiee now exercised in charging the j traveling public 82 from Lewistown to Har risburg, or nearly 3| cents per mile, while a number of petty towns below, can send their | few and tar between passengers for shorter ! distances at much less rates! The man, for ' instance, who devised the plan to charge 81 j trom this place to Newport, and from thence j 80 cents to Hani-burg, or 20 cents less than i a through ticket, must certainly be one of j Solomon's descendants, for no other wo think ; could have fallen upon an idea which would ; seem to imply that the more frequently a ! train i stopped, the less the fare ought to be ! j Yet such is tin- fact, not onlv as regards New port, but many other stations, as any one can j ascertain by inquiry at the ticket offices. | What renders the eharg. here still more ob- , jectiomiblo, is the fact that it costs a passenger j with baggage 2f> cents additional, or without baggage 124 cents, to reach Lewistown—an •rem sufficient in itself to induce a " liberal i company," as ibis professes to be, rather to go i under their rates than to fleece each one 17 I ca nts over and above the three cents per i iuil<-. iiii'i'i h hecuusi' he i- goiug to<<rcoming j from Lewistown. If their charges are 3A 1 .cents per mile, lie it go—if not, let Jew and to utile fare alike, say we.

Several of the Philadelphia papersannounce that the Canal Commissioners have leased the Columbia railroad for four years trom toe first of July next, and have given to certain par ties the exclusive privilege of transporting passengers over the road for that time. The particulars of the arrangement, say- tin- Lan caster Whig, have not yet been made public, but we have learned from various private well-informed sources, that -Messrs. Israel Painter, late Canal Commissioner, Judge Dock, of Harrisburg—Gov. Bigler's uncle— Mr. llockafellow, of Philadelphia, and others, are the contractors; that the wheel toll has been taken off and the State to that extent defrauded, and that these men are to have the monopoly of the travel! We would like to know by what authority the Canal Oominis l sioners have undertaken to prevent competi | tion on the State road, in the lace of the act iof 1834, which especially provides that iu | dividual shall have the right to place cars on the road, and, under such regulations as may i be adopted, attach their ears to the locomo | tive cars belonging to the Commonwealth, fur j the purpose of transportation"—with what j excuse they can defend the removal of the wheel toll and the consequent decrease of the ! revenue of the State, and how they will justi -1 fy this building up <<f a vast monopoly to 1 tyrannize over trade and travel, and control the legislation of the State. We await such j a defence, expecting loenfoco politicians eon i venientlv to forget all their former rant about ; the danger of monopolies, and to become the I defenders of this new outrage. So much for one side—now for the other. We strongly suspect that this movement is one of the fruits of hostility engendered be tween certain parties by the location of sun dry machine shops. Are., at an obscure and in many respects inconvenient point, and if so. the Railroad Company has been for once de cidedly headed. This belief is strengthened frfitn the fact that our neighbor of the Demo crat embuses the arrangement as a good on'-, and then adds— "Notwithstanding the evident advantage which the new system gives to the State, some of the Philadelphia papers, in the interest of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, we suppose, were very indignant w hen this measure was first announced, and spoke of it as a " lease of the Columbia Railroad" and creating a monopoly, ju-t as if under the present arrangement it was not one, and denied that the Canal Commission ers had the powertomakc such a contract. Thi> was to be expected, as any measure devised for the benefit of the State and against the interests of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, whose efforts have been to break down the public itu ! provemcnts of Pennsylvania, for the purpose of advancing their own interests, would call down the ceususe of those consistent editors who clamor at the Legislature to lease the works for the ultimate benefit of this company, but where they are to be checked in their career of mo nopolizing that which of right belongs to the citizens of the State, it is characterized a great wrong. Now, we would like to know if there must he such an arrangement, if tho people would not infinitely prefer having it in the hands of her individual citizens, in preference to those of a mammoth corporation, whose course of conduct has shown that their interests and those of the isiate were directly inimical to each other. We opine there can be but one opinion in answer, and that is they woukl. As to the authority of the Canal Hoard to make the contract, we think a reference to a decision of the Supreme Court, some years ago, on n simi lar contract, will set all such doubts at rest " Events are certainly coming to a point, and though our citizens, who have had neither lot nor part in this fight, have b< • n in a measure made the sufferers of a mistaken policy—mistaken we Indict e both on the part of the Railroad Company and tie- oiler parties—we are somewhat eurious to see " the , „ end.

Correspondence of ihe Lewistown Gere lie. From the Metropolis. W ASHINGTON, May 15. 1852. FRIEND FRV-IXGER : —After a lapse ot .sev eral years, since you have heard from ine, I avail myself of the occasion now to drop you a line from this (at present great centre) me tropolis. Washington City, as in times of yore, pre sents to me, comparatively speaking, the same stereotyped appearance, save here and there an occasional new building—mostly, however, of a public character; and this im provement, too, confined principally to the only thoroughfare in the city—Pennsylvania avenue. But what a change has taken place in the character of its inhabitants, during a session of Congress ! Hitherto, the city was characterized by dust and windy days only : but now. blended with tlies a elisu</re< able*-, are hordes of professional gamblers, pickpockets, political demagogues, and "'rum mills" —the latter evil not sparingly resorted to, or pa tronized. Speaking of polities, it would prove, no doubt, quite edifying, were you to pav but a flying visit to us just now, and witness the Harlequin ftju-rs which are cut in and around ! the Capitol, by would-he-nominces for the Presidency, and other aspirants, not to fame solely, hut mammon, indeed. I have wit | nested many astonishing feats at a '-irons, 1 and believed their execution outside the ring j as a tiling impossible—yet the antics of some I of these vainglory politieiaus eclipseanything | presented to the gaze of an audience under ; canvass. I frequently stroll to the Capitol, in order to see and hear the people's representatives j ant and deliberate for the people's good : but wherever I go, in either branch of the Na tional Assembly, nty ears are assailed with - long, dry, stale political harangues, emanat ing iioiu brainless locofoeo members—ar raigning this or that action of the heads of the various Executive Departments, charging tie in either with unnecessary expenditures of the public mom v. unfitness to discharge the 1 duties of their station, inconsistency, or other lik<- "potato-peeling" charges. Inconsistency ! How absurd! Locofnco< to charge a party with inconsistency ! Tin y ar • verv consistent, eery. Take forexampl". their wheel-horse. Gen.

Be who h" may, however, liefore his arrival at the " White House," he will surely be tuleu, and completely elisfaucml by the foriun.tie n mince of the Whig party, ami Gen SCOTT will most likely 1' the man. G"H. SCOTT has claims on his party, such J a> none others can produce, lie has done nu-re, pra -tically, i ir our glorious I nion—its preservation and welfare—than any other man, or --t of men, of his day. lie has suc cessfully fought her battles for nearly half a century—driving the foes of freedom fat back from our shores, and at every step ad ding glory to our name, and winning laurels and gold"ii opinions, both tit hotneaml abroad, by his unsurpassed deeds of valor. Emphat ically, he is the preset rer of this republic: and it i- but a ileety her sons owe him, to place him on the highest pinnacle to fame within tle-ir gift. That Gen. SCOTT is true to his country, none can doubt—for found by her side, ready and willing to aid and sustain her at every hazard. What man has done more'! i have no doubt he will he selected as the most available candidate by the sober-think ing delegates at the Convention, which is to convene in Jutic: and I can assure you. that the name of Gen.
