The Lake Superior country is destined to be-
n very important portion of. tlie
Its fisheries, its minerals, its lumber, and its
agricultural productions, aro just beginning to
• bo developed, and already' the travel and com
merce of the Lake surprises tho visitor who had
pieviously regarded the region as almost an in
hospitable; wild.-Tho fleet; of- shippiug ; and
steamers on the Lake find constant and profitable
.... employment—capitalists,- miners, merchants,
mechanics, fishermen, agricultunsts, and fatni
• - lies are flocking to tho healthy, clime, and open
■ ; - in» tho forest and the mines to establish homes
' 'and rehp a harveat of.wealth. Pleasant villages
are springing.up afe the several harbors and in
the viemity of the mines, and the constant re
mark wo heard among the “old settlers’ 7 vois,
' . <* everybody likes.the country, and everybody is
doing -svell.”
Tho town of Saut Ste. Mario has improved
: very much within a .few years, and must grow
. into commanding importance as the emporium
■■ of the Korthwest.r.-Government hns too Jong

this point,, by. which vessels and steamers- from
the Jpwer. Lakes could outer with their cargoes
; ,upon the great, inland sea, without thcslow,
toilsome and expensive process of n land journey
- over the Portage; for it should be remembered
..that every sliip-kcci upon Superior has been
• thuß transported by private energy and enter
prise. . A Railroad across, also the result of pri
vate enterprise under the direction of S.‘Mc-
Knight, Esq., has done much to facilitate the
transhipment of merchandize, machinery, &c.,
to Superior, and of copper,' fish, &c., to the ports
below. •
*. . The best interests of. tho Republic, with its
extended frontier of the Northwest, as well as
. the. vast and growing commerce of a chain of
waters reaching into the heart of the interior,
equal in distance to half the width of the Atlan
tic, demand a free Ship Canal of the-General
.... Government without delay. • -
Tho settlements nt Carp River, in the vicinity
of tho richest Iron mines in the world, are in
creasing and flourishing.: The Marquette Iron
Works, und the Works of Messrs. Eaton; have
demonstrated the fine quality of the orcsland
• . the profit of working them. - The quantity is in
exhaustible, and ere long Lake Superior iron
will bo common and stand number one in the
market.
Copper Harbor is again looking up r the mines
in that vicinity giving promise of ultimate good
pay to the miner, At Eagle HarboMhe:settle
ment is flourishing, and the Copper mines are be
coming quite extensively worked. The location
and harbor are fine. Eagle River is hardly wor
thy of the name as a stream, and;affords nohar--
bor. The celebrated Cliff and North American
mines are three miles and a half back from the
village at the mouth. The Chff Mine is justly
the marvel of the world. It is now worked at
the depth of 357 feet, and the deeper the shaft is
: sunk the richer, tho vein. Immense masses of
native copper, weighing many tons are found,
requiring tedious labor with tho chisel .to cut
them into moveable blocks. Many taken out
weigh from four to five thousand pounds; Large
quantities of barrel and stamp work are also
taken out. • The vein leads toward the Lake, and
it is not improbable but hi • time the work will
be extended under the bed of tho Lake os : the
mines of Cornwall are beneath the Ocean. The
North American, a quarter of a- mile distant
from the Cliff, is yielding richly in copper, hnd
bids fair to be equally as productive to its enter
prising owners. The country, in the vicinity
of these.mines is : quite favorable for farming
and grazing, and a number of farms have been
opened.
At Ontonagon we found a fine settlement.—
. The river has some six feet of water on the bar,
• and a good harbor can be made by ronning;oat
piers. Inside the river is. broad and deep: for
some twelve uules to the rapids. An appropria
tion should be made-by the next Congress.! It
is the important point on the Lake, and will, bo
rthe. commercial port of a large mining and fhkra-
section of the Upper- -Peninsula. . The Oop
. per Mines each side of tho Ontonagon are* al
ready numerous, and a year hence will see s<)me
forty or more opened or commenced. Thcmines
; now worked* are yielding beyond anticipation,
and there is scarce a doubt, but the Ontonagon
section will prove to.be among the richest; in
. minerala-on the American shore;
The-valleyof the river and country adjacent
to the .mines is favorable for farming, the toil
rich and well timbered, and the climate mil tier
than at any other point ou Lake Superior. Po
tatoes, and vegetables generally .yield largely.-
Oats and gross do well* and com and spring und
• winter wheat so far as tested. The mines will
. always afford a good market and enterpriziug
New England or German farmers could scarcely
...... fail to grow rich there. The snow falls before
.. .the ground freezes, licb steadily during the win
ter to the depth of two lcet or over, aud the mo
ment it melts m tho spring vegetation starts- to
• life vigorously. The Hon. Tbuman Smith, who
has spent sometime in exploring the LakeSupe
. -:rior country tins season, pronounces'much of it
decidedly bettor for. agricultural purposes than
large portions of New England, including the
northern part of Connecticut. The Ontonagon
trill be a central point of emigration for years to
• .come, and the village nt themouth isnaw rapid
ly improving.
Lapointe is one of the ancient trading posts of
the Northwest, and is beautifully located near
the head of the lake. The scenery and water
views are unsurpassed. Several islands, the
. principal of tho group being the Apostles, open
• various channels and adorn the ancientparadise

■ a fashionable place of summer resort for health
and pleasur3 seekers. Tho inhabitants are now

are soon to be moved further West to give room

THE SEXT ELECTION
The canvass for State Officers in whioh we are
now engaged,; and the decision upon which mast
be made up in less than two months from ■ this
time ; is one of greater magnitude than any that
has claimed our attention for many years past.
Let us examine it, briefly, in n few of the aspects
presented to us. '
In the first place, we are to look at the jnext
election in relation to the offeot that is to be pro
duced by it upon tho affairs of oar Union. ; Wo
do not for a moment doubt tho success of the
Democratic State officers; but/' supposing! any
other contingency possible, we should regard
the event as one fraught with the highest danger
to the Union. This wo should look upon as in
evitable ; because of the direct and positive
sanction that would thus be given to all tho, vile
under tho names of Abolitionism. and
Free Soilism that have divided, distracted, and
disgraced the country for several years past.
The real head of all these heresies in Pennsylva
nia, is Wm. F. Johnston, who has been thus con
stituted in virtue of his high station of Whig
Governor, and who, if he were naturally other
wise disposed, could only act now as he does, in
order to concentrate' all the discordant and ‘un
principled forces of Whiggcry for the proposed
grand action in October. ■ ’ i
But, ss we have said, we cannot look upon
such a result as the election of Johnston, as oven
barely possible. We believe thero is‘too much
sound, sterling patriotism and good sensed yet
left in the State, to permit such a result.: ilut
notwithstanding this—as we know he has been
making tremendous exertions to secure his re
election—ss he is backed by all the official! in
fluence of the State—and as it is not very, doubt
ful that even paid officers of the State arc con
stantly engaged in electioneering for him,-r-we
may of course well advise our party friends of
these things; and warn them of the consequen
ces of supineness and inaction on their parte
Wc do not look upon Johnstos’s election its a
thing barely possible; because he has thus; far
been but a,mere automaton. If his talents or
hiß destiny might have made him any thing nf ore
than this, the destiny of tho Democratic party
has overruled all the high purposes ho mayhlavo
had; and he has been hound to succumb to de
mocratic majorities inbothHonses—thusdepriv
ing him of all power to do harm, (though the
disposition could not be controlled,) aud leaving
him free to do good, if ho entertained any speh
desire. But vamly do wo seek for any suoh act
as would mark the career of a statesman—vain
ly do we look for something worthy of tho Exe
cutive Head of a great and powerful State. As
well might one expect Puss to become suddenly
great, while watching at her favorite mouse-hole,
and assume tho dignity and majesty, and the
power of tho Lion, as expect to find sA ingrained
a small politician rising to the dignity aud time
honor of the statesman. No, tho littleness of
character that has distinguished Wm. F. Jota
ston, while Governor of the State, is one of ihe
strongest grounds upon which we expect his fie
fcat. , ■

Vte giyie to four readers, to-day,[the celebrated
resolutlohs adopted by bar political friends in
the General Convention at Baltimore, in 1844.
They have 'all, no' doribt, read' them before;
but sucfi'wholesome political doctrines as are
there givemcannot be too frequently made the
subject pf contemplation; and in a time like the
prepent, they may bo profitably , referred to ns
in positive contradistinction to the avowals of
sentiment made by our opponents. Had the
spirit of these resolutions prevailed in 1848, a
deathblow would have at once boon given to
those vile heresies that have since wrought so
much'mischief; and every thing that could bo
expected from a jnst.and wise administration of
the government would be in the fall process of
realization.
“Resolved, That the American democracy
place, their trust in the intelligence, the pateiot
ism, and the discriminating justice of the Amer
ican peoples
“Resolaed, That we regard this as a distinct
ive feature of our political creed, which we are
proud to maintain before the world hs the great
moral element in a form of government spring
ing from and upheld by the popular will and wo
contrast it with the creed and practice of feder
alism, under whatever name or form, which
seeks to palsy the the will of the constituent,
and whioh. conceives no. imposture too monstrous
for the popular credulity.
“Resolved therefore, That, entertaining these
viows, the democratic party of this Union,
through their delegates assembled in a gcderal
convention,of the States, coming together in a
spirit of concord; of dovotion to the doctrines
and faith.of a free representative government,
and appealing to their fellow-citizens for the rec
titude of their intentions, renew and re-assert
before .the American people the declarations of
principles avowed by them when, on a former
occasion, in general convention, they presented
their candidates for.-tho popular suffrages. ■
“1. That the federal government is one of
limited powers, derived solelyfrom tho constitu
tion; and the: grants of power shown therein
ought to be strictly construed by all the depart
ments and agents of tho government: and that
it is inexpedient and dangerous to exercise
doubtful constitutional powers.
. *‘2. Plrnt the constitution-does not confer
upon the, general government the power to com
mence and carry on a general system of internal
improvements..
“_B. That the constitution does notconfer au
thority upon tho federal government, directly or
indirectly, to assume the debts of tho several
States, contracted for local internal improve
ments or other State-purposes; nor would such
assumption bo just and expedient.
“4. That justice and sound policy forbid.the
federal government to foster one branch of in
dustry to .the detriment of another, or to cherish
the interests of one portion to tho iiy uiy of anoth
er portion ofourcommon country; that every citi
zen, and every section of the country, has a right
to demand and insist upon an equality of rights
and privileges, and complete and amplo protcc-:
tion of persons and property from domestic vio
lence or -foreign aggression.
“5. That it is tho duty of every branch of the 1
government to enforce and practice tho mostrig
ld economy in conducting our publio affairs and
that no more revenue ought to bo raised than is
required to defray the necessary expenses of the
government, and for the gradual but certain ex
tinction of the debt created by the prosecution
of a just and necessary war, after peaceful re
lations shall have been restored.
“6. That Congress has no power to charter a
national bank; that we believe such an institu
tion one of deadly hostility to tho best interests
of the country, dangerous to our republican in
stitutions and the liberties of the people, and

advance as tho basis, computes the population

Pittsburgh and StenbenTllle Railroad
,Meeting at jPnrle, 2,.
In pursuance of public notice, a'large arid re
spectable meeting of the citizens Of Washington
county, in favor of tho above road,was.eonven
ed at the town of^Paris,’on August the IBth, at
10, A. H.
The meeting was organized by Appointing
Jas. McFauben, Esq., Chairman, and William
McCabe, Secretary.
: The object of the meeting was briefly stated
by the Secretary;- arid it was eloquently and for
cibly addressed by Dr. Andrews, of Ste nbenville,
and by the Hon. Charles Naylor.
The following resolutions were - offered and
unanimously;adopted': '
Resolved, That we regard the Pittsburgh and
Steubenville, Railroad. as an. ( indispensable link
in the great chain of improvements, now in pro
gress for connecting central Ohio with Pitts
burgh, by the shortest and best connection that
can be made for that purpose.
Resolved, That the local interests of that part
of Washington/county; which would be travers
ed by, and brought under the influence of this
line of communication; would be greatly pro
moted by the construction of the PittsbuTgh anff
Steubenville Railroad. ... '.',’7 "
Resolved, That we can see no comparison, as
to the advantages Of the road itself, • and to the
interests of Pittsburgh, between the benefits to
be produced by opening a new channel through
.the heart of one of the richest : agricultural ’and
mineral regions of the West, now almost Shut
out from a market; and those which would re
sult from laying, a railroad track on the : margin
of the - Ohio river, to Compete with, its trade, to
divide what already exists,there, and which,
moreover, could' only enjoy a share ’Of the local
trade on one side of the river.: The latter track
as compared with the former road , would be
comparatively of infinitely less, importance, in
all respects.; ... . ~...”
Resolved, That tliis part of Washington coun
ty, whichiß within thirty miles of Pittsburgh,
is practically more fembtb aridinaccessibly, than
if located on a railroad; line, at the distance of
one hundred and fifty miles from that city. •
Resolved, That the wealth of this section of
the rich county of Washington is ample for the
construction of so much of the Pittsburgh and
Steubenville Rood as may be considered its prop -
er share of the work,'.and that, this meeting 1
pledges its best efforts to' make' if available for
this purpose. ■/; ■
Resolved; That ns farmers we put orir -hrinds
to tbe.plougb and will not look back, but will
move steadily on until we.make this straight
furrow across.this neck of land; and “we don’t
believe in going all round a farm to get ati the’
barndoor. .. *

tions. A resolution was adopted directing the

disease in children is the~anliealtliuic?s of parents! It
would be just as reasonable to expect a rich crop from
a barren soil, as that strong and healthy children should
be born of parents whose cbnstiuttiohs have been worn
out with intemperance and disease.. A sickly frame may
be originally induced by hardships, accidents, or intem
perance, but chiefly by the latter/ It is impossible that &
course of vice or imprudence should, not spoil the best
constitution; and did the evil terminate here, it would be
& just punishment for the folly of the. irimsgtepsOT But
not ao_ For when, once a disease is'contracted,and
tbrpogb neglect in applying the proper means it becomes
rmted m the habit, n is then entailed upon posterity.
Female constitutions are as eapable of improvement as
family estates— and ye who would wish to improve r not
ouly your own health, bat that of your own ol&pring,by
eradicating the many distressing diseases that are entail
ed through neglect or imprudence, lose ho time in puri
