These -aocuments contain much import

business on our Canals and Railroads•
which wifl tie interesting to the public,-
We commend this matter more especially
to the community, as there appears to be' a
settled determination with certain individu•
els, aidedby the editors of the federal jour•
nale in this city, to mislead public opinion ,
and. if' possible, to drive individual enter
prise from the public works, by destroying
the Truck system, which is just about being
tried, and from which the most beneficial
results are expected. 'The actions, of the
Board have been misrepresented, the mean
ing of their reports perverted, and every
effort made to create a prejudice against a
policy that is calculated to throw the for
warding business open to competition, and
to root up a monopoly that for years has
hung like an incubus over the interests of
our state improvements. If prejudice or
, carreption can succeed in persuading the
Legislature to thwart the commissioners
in their desire to establish the section boat
'yearn of transportation, and thus enable
men of comparatively small capital to divide
the forwarding business with the large lines
that have monopolized it for years pass, it
will be of incalculable injury to the state;

now so apparent, of making our Canals and
Railroads a source of revenue, and thus re.

but merely to sh.iw the unique and ener- was this day returned amended by the Sew
getic style of the speaker, who is, Without ate. The arrangement of the districts by
doubt, a man of ability, and withal an odd the Senate is quite different from what it
fish: He spoke of Mr. Tyler: p o _ was in the House Bill. It is as follows,
litical grave has no bottom, and it is a wick•
ed calumny for gentlemen here to say that
the Johnson men are about to be sold, to
much a man. Why sir, were we to forsake
even the white horse upon which
Johnson rode to victory and to glory, for
the smiles of such a President, we deserve
to be haunted by the departed spirit of Har
i rison. If, sir, it is the destiny of the brave
Johnson, to remain the first monument of
this nation's ingratitude, to go to the god
of battles, without being called from his re
tirement in the pleasant shades of the White
Sulphur Springs of Kentucky, ba it so.—
But I would rather have one lingering look
at his manly features, his decrepid form,
his sear covered person; ay sir, I would
rather have one shake f that acm which
Tecumseh gave his life to palsy, than to
bask in the sunshine of Executive favors of
such a man as John Tyler to all eternity.
Now sir, I hope I am understood so far as
John Tyler is concerned.
Mr. Deford enquired of Mr. Lowry, if he
believed that Gov. Porter was a friend of
Col. Johnson.
Mr. Lowry resumed. I believe, sir, that
he is a friend of Col. Johnson. Did I not
believe so, I could not be his friend. I had
the hest reason on earth to believe Gov.
Porter is the friend Col. Johnson, and had
lin the making of a President, would he
make Tyler? No sir. The Hero of the
Thames would receive his vote with a wil
ling hand and a grateful heart
The tone of Deacon White, respecting
CI aig's libel on the business of Pittsburgh
has undergone a wonderful change in the
course of twenty foUr hours, and he now
virtually admits that Craig did utter the
falsehood with which we charged him re
specting the amount of business transacted
by the merchants of Pittsburgh in the ar
ticle of salt; but he then puts in the plea,
that his master might have been misinform
ed, and thi tiks that this should be a sufft
cient excuse for his falsehood. If Craig
and his humble imitator,had not attempted
to evade the consequences of this false
hood by their usual game of bully black
guardism, we might have let them offsome
what easier, hut we will now keep them
to the question in the same spirit in which
they assailed us, and teach them that when
they indulge in uncalled for abuse, they
must expect to be paid back in their own

entirely abolished—but there are salaries

who died in Bridgeton, N. J. on the 28th

Family of Sweden; whose great gland
mother, Elizabeth, was compelled to fly
from her native country when but six , •

before the vessel sailed for America. She
brought many valuable treasures with her

after that of the United States. At the Capitol of
the Island, (Port au Prince.) all was consternation
when Capt. Riker left.
A strung military force was concentrated there,
in order to oppose an apprehended attack by the
' insurgents. A very hostile feeling was manifest
ed towards the Government in many quatters.—
The soldiers were badly paid, and lived great pert
upon plunder. President Boyer is supposed to
have a large sum of money at his command and

he will leave the island and sail to Fleece. Oth•

The Republican publishes a letter from ‘'C'm fi

states that the whole island was in a state of re..

revolutionists had from 4000 to 5000 men under
arms, and 'were continually increasi g, and it ,as
anticipated there would be some hard fighting
