Abuses ouj the North Branch Canal.
Nearly a year hai„elapsed since Ilia tine '
first set for the completionief this 'great work'
and still it is del4ed. We travelled some
thirty miles along its banks last week, and;
judging from4the state the work is injogeth
cr with the 'Manner which it is conducted; it
will be of no' service' to the Commonwealth
the present seasen., ,There.is - evidently gross
carelessness and negleet, a want of energy, a
Jack' of efficiency ruinous to the interests of
State, and her TreasUry, on the ' part, of the
sutordinate ofileers having the Canal in
charge. 'The Canal 'Board never was com- :
posed of better men—the Governor has done
tall in his power, atidmuch more than he was
„called on to do bye virtue of l his relations to '
'the Canal department, and I still the whole
'work "drags its sIOW length along." -Some
'thin& must be done. What shall it be? .
• We have made up our mind that it is time
for pms`to speak out, for the people to
be aroused and take this matter into their
own hands, and we\ shall therefore follow it
up regtaille of, dentmciation from any quar
ters, till - the dawning of a better dAy. i The
people of Stisquehanua county are still tracer
crupted by Canal' patronpge 'and,. infittene
- es, hence here is agood pier for theai to
open. In our judgment, unless the peo I,eof
this :Senatorial and Legislative • District shall
bestir themselves at onee t tll , l'elvhole political
complexion of the District Will be colored and
moulded by 'that kind of demoralizing:pc:4er
which is always brought into existence ; by
works belonging ba the SMte. We will be
bound hand and foot, bought, sold, taxed - and
trampled. upon bittet very, scrnpnleus men.
To the eye of keeif,discernment a new ele-,
ment can be seen at work in the pelitics of
\ this district! It is the element of pOwer and.
patronage. Mien are noloager to be 'elected
to our Legislative: offices MC the broad' - and
distinctive principles of theidemOeraitc Party,
but rather with an ye to niteriorobjects and
purposes. The erg nization'of the party, in
stead of being cont led by the attnehinents
melt:have for princi ;le, is henceforth' unless t a
desperate effort sli I be made. to overthrew
it, to be controled by the recipients and CT :
ctants of State bounty on the Canal. Thuti

We have before remarked that l our peeple,
are free, in !their , political relations, frian
these int:innec's; but they cannot , shut their
eyes to the fact that in other sectiops of the,
District, along the line Of the ImprOvement,a
centralized pnwer is being formed, whichwill
just as surely rob us' of our rights - and
subvert our_party organization foruaworthy
purposes, as that the sun shall shinefor future
years. The great State of Sullivan, and! . the
althighty County of 'Wyoming, aided ,and
abetted by kindrell spiritsfrorn birtilford, have
forming within their borders a kind of pr'eda=
tory tribe, subversive in all its instincts land
purpwes of 'anything like a valuahie poli,!lcal
organization, and it must be broken up, it,`wifi
U broken up.: Mere in our own
_count); are
the voters—here are daring spirita--men who
will note fear to ae,t when the path of duty -
and right comes distinctly to their view.
But how, it may be wired, is this thing to.
be acconiplislied I how shall, thi ft.ble l lit- .
Ile county of Susquehanna, with her little-less
than sit thou Sand voters; contend', successful-
`ly against the great State of Sullivan vrith her
four liundred,- and the almighty' county of
Wyoming with her one thousand - voters.-1
Well, we admit it looks like a f difficult and
delicate undertaking;" but are have no &oat
leaders can be found here equal to . the task.
The way to dO it too is very. plain. Lett, the
county Convention of Siisqneluirma, when . it
shall meet in September, nominate two gboa .
men for members of the House,' and - telt the'
great State of Sullivan, and, the almigiity.
eounty - c)f Wioruing to—to--gO to--lacy
vile, and help themselves if theycan, for we
in Susquehanna have no further •use! for
Lacyville conferences till the o;ganization of,
the party.Sllol be brought Jail to the stand
and of its original purity. This is one way to
do it, but: there is rill another; That is _to
'nominate two good men for Members l and,
conferees to .I.4eyiille in proPcirtion to the
vote of the respective counties, and tellHthel
great State of Sullivan and i dle almighty
county of Wyoluing to meet ns in confereriCa
or not, just as they please, an then come
home and elect our men. Th s *County has
submitted to the exactions of her moreporeer- _
