TREMENDOUS MONOPOLY ! Penneybxii4rns, be on your Gtard ! ! - We have Vver Seen the instinctive foe to mono polies of all kinds, but we hive a more than common animosity towards those who seek darkly and clan destinely to thrust themselves on an unsuspiciouspub lic-, of such a character we conceive to be the project to open an outlet in the Delaware Canal at Black's Eddy, which we learn has this session been again brought before the Legislature in the most secret Boner, without submitting it to the ordeal of pub- I opinion. In referring\to this subject, - we wish to le aside all local feeling, and to speak with the voice of Pennsylvania. Our state has never sanctioned the project, it is entirely concocted by a nest of spec ulators from New York and New Jersey, whose concentrated operations now present one of the most dangerous and extensive monopolies in the known world ! A correspondent in the Pennsylvanian, who views this subject with just abhorrence, holds the follow- ing startling language : ••Between the following companies there is a dis tinct union—by which their various powers are fear fully combined to effect their mutual aggrandizement, and to break down all oppoition subjecting ever thing and every body to their iron and selfish sway. viz.— The Camden and Amboy Rail Road; The Phila delphia and Trenton Rail Road ; The Delaware and Raritan Canal; The Trenton Bridge Company;. The Rail Road from Trenton to Brunswick; The Rail Road from Brunswick to Jersey City; The New Brurisvrick Steamboat, Canal and Transporta tion Company, denominated from its grasping char acter the "Napoleon Company ;" The Ifetleidere and Trenton Rail Road Company, with a bank op posite Easton ; The Bristol Tow Boat Company; The Canal thron,h Windmill Island and the Ferry at Walnut street. The outlet asked by this Holy alliance is to tap. the Canal between Easton and Bristol, at Black's Eddy, about 34 miles above Bristol. 'Every one knows that the - wealth of the Lehigh reaches Phila delphia by way of this canal. -The design of the al lied corporations is to divert the coal trade through the proposed outlet, and then take it through their Delaware and Raritan canal to 'New York. It is a magnificent scheme Fr them. It gives them the whole Lehigh region (where they would soon buy up or break down every company,) and secures them advantages almost incnlculalde Should our Legislature in an incautious mosnent grant priviledges such as are required by this com bination, what would he the result I The Delaware division of the Pennsylvania Canal would become useless to the State—its monire would have been thrown away to aggrandize New York. the lower line of Castled from Black's Eddy to Bristol would be deprived of water, and become dry,—the whole coal trade would be turned from Philadelphia to New York, the immense monopoly would overwhelm the coal trade of our state, and its export he directed to a different channel—the Susquehanna and Schuyl. kik regions, would not & placed on a fair competi tion, and all the investments now Pfosperousin those sections, would be sacrificed. • Such. would be the eirectii±now 'What is the sit uation of Pennsylvania I Throughout .a great por tion of the State, nature has been lavish in her gifts; with-an unsparing hand She phi Red mineral wealth in the bosom of our hills and valliekk snahas evident ly pointed to Philadelphia as:its great Mart. .

Mezkn.—By one of the political revulsion' so common in this country, Santa Anna has blip ele vated to.. the Presidency. This evinces tilt the Mexicans ate determined to realm. the French, and his inveterate hostility to that nation has doubtless been the cause of his tieing taken up by the war party. The presence of an English fleet in the Gulf of Mexico will tend to give confidence to the Mexicans, and it is reasonable to suppose that Eng land, ever jealous of French extension, will inter pose in behalf of any occupation. by their victorious troops. Under these Circumstances, there .is no doubt but that the war will be prolonged as long as Mexico can resist, unless indeed England should step in as mediator. Gettyaburg - toorl.—The bill to suspend the oper ations 611 1111i -extension has passed both Houses of the Legislature. a desire to protect the public in terests, has occasioned this step, well and good; but we question whether party prejudice - has not been brought to bear on it, more than a correct sense of :sux44ce- • • -- - TH,ARNERIS74O-_ ITA7l4,rn .._ • BOC in.

For this purpose Ten Millions of dollars bave been placed st the disposal of the President, and the services of 40,00 0 . volunteers, are to be accepted. The general tone, throughout the country, appears to be ,a determination'to enforce our rights, "peaceably .if we can, forcibly, if we must." In the mean- time, a temporary arrangement has been negotiated by i Mr. Forsyth and Mr. Fox, our Secretary of State, and the English Mini sta at Washington, on behalf of their respective gdvdrnmenta, to prevent if possi ble, immediate belligerent operations on the frontier. This will be effected by affording time for the Gov ernor of New Brunswick to correspond with his Gov ernment at Home. Tins may have the effect to al lay the excitement for the present, but if England adhere to rot: demand, which Sir Charles Vaughan, made on her behalf, we can apprehend nothing short of collision. However greatly the well disposed may deprecate the contingency of a war, we will find but few of our countrymen, wh i, when the appeal is A made, will not respond to the words of the gallant I Decatur—"our country, right or wrong." - The Lyceum.—By reference to the order of Lec tures, OUT reaaers will be reminded that next Tues day is the Meeting night of the Lyceum. If we should have a clear evening, our citizens may enjoy a pleasant walk to the school house—the ladies and gentleman may chat away a pleasant half hour be fore the lecture commences—they may then be bor ed from three quarters of an hour to an hour, and then walk home again, in the dark, as the moon win be in her last quarter, "about those times." If un der these relative advantages and disadvantages, our friends feel inclined to attend, they will hear an at tempted explanation of the theory of "'Grecian My thology." Oh Merry !—The Quebec papers, speaking of the Maine disturbances, hold the following terrib,le lan guage: '"We shall in all probability have fighting in our neighborhood soon ; and it is a comfortable re flection that every man in the Province is imbued with the finest spirit, and prepared to treat om lawless and republican neighbors as they deserve." Dont be so certain, gentlemen; some 25 or 30 years age, you had • comfortable reflections" of the same nature, triit before the .close of that war, your reflections were any thing but comfortable ! Alabama.—On the l7th January a resolution was introduced uito ti,e Senate of this State, recommen ding Martin Van Buren, for the next Presidency and Wm. R. King, for the Vice Presidency, . It was laid on.the table by a vote of 24 to 5. Locofoco stock, therefore seems below par in Alabama. Silk Convention.—The meeting ottlie friends of the silk culture held recently in Harrisburg, was nu merously attended, and much interesting inforMa tion developed. A state Society was formed, Judge Blythe, President, laws adopted, and.the erection of county associations recommended. In the proceed ings, we find that Mr. Morgan, of Orwigsburg, has received a premium from the state for his silk obtain ed last year; and we learn that his preparations Ili the ensuing season are much extended, and that he will cultivate both the ,Multicsulis and the White Italian. Why cannot our neighbors move in thi4 matter! We should not be behind the state, and the business will evidently be lucrative. •., Horrors of Slarery.'—Thc house of Mr. Kenner. ly, Jefferson Barracks, near St. Louis, was recently destroyed by fire.

Nu one can peruse the following, without being forcibly - struck with the arrogance rind impudence of this minion of party; and the punishment of one who has dared to insult the dignity of our Senate, should be of a charater to deter all future adventu rers from a similar course : TWENTY-SIXTH CONGRESS-3d. SESSION SEN ATE WASHINGTON, March 2, 1839 The scenes of the -Senate yesterday were of con siderable interest. During the morning a letter, vul garly written, dirty, and tetraying its origin in its whole appearance, was received by the President pro tem of the Senate, and by him communicated to the body. It ran thus : Post Office Department, Feb. 27, 1539 Hon. R. M: Johnson, V. P; ana P. of Senate.

Resolved, That said.letter, with the resolution to which it pui ports to bean answer, be laid before the President of the United States for such action as he may "deem proper. The question was taken on the first, and passed 38 to 8 ; and the second 91 to 15. About 11 at at night, a message was received from the President. covering another from Kean.ll, to which I must call your attention.

POST OFFICE, March 1, 1839 To the President Sir—ln reference tothe resolution of the Senate adopted this day, and by you just communicated to! me, expressing the opinion that a communication: made by me on the 27th ult., in reply to their reso lution of the same date, was disrespectful to thati body-1 hare only to say that no disrespist was in tended or pr felt. • , The resolution of the 12th ult., calling for they names of the renioNeA post masters, designated e ‘ i . ci specific time within which the information would be wanted, and as it did not appear to look to any i immediate legiidative or executive action on theit part, tlr necessity of great expedition in preparing and commuturating,them, tertke delay of other press= ing matters, was not appreciated by ine so bight a. 4 it appetir to'have - been by the Senate, or as per , hops it ought to have been—and ..as the reply 'td, the 12th was already -in, the hands of the Messert ger, and Would accompany the reply to that of the , 27th, showing there was no disposition to withhold the information called for. It did not occur to Mr that .any delallear explanation was necessary or could he expected: Detwe it will be perceived that the letter complained of was written hastily, the Messenger 'in fact having been: dctaine,until It ' could b. written and reciarded,and,but for\ e hung of the momentr I sho4P“probabiy" have given the more full explanation 'contained in this letter.
