See First Page.
We had hoped that the course of our paper was
suchen tuleave no doubt on the minds of any who
reedit as to what our views are on ull the great
measures of the party, and the policy & particular
acts of the met who are at the head of the State
and National admiaistrations. It is a matter of
regret to find that we were mistaken in our sup.
position. The "Keystone" and the "Reporter" at
Harrisburg, a few days ago, and more recently
the "Madisonian," have wide out lists of 'the
democratic papers and classified them as fur and
against G.w. Porter. Li each and all of these pa
pin a false position is as , ign - 3(1 to 'he "Morning
Post." We have before alluded to, and corrected
the mistakes or misstateir.drits of the Harrisburg
•
papers—the Madisonian's article now requires a
few words of explanation.
• That journal 1308 the "Post•' down as one of the
"papers who support the administration of Gov.
Porter," or,in the language of Pennsylvania politi
eisn's a "Porter paper." This, as we understand
it, implies complete devotion to the State admin,
iatration, and indicates that we ar, disposed to
sustain its acts 'right or wrong." such, at least,
is in this region the definition of the policy of a
Porter paper, and our readeri well know that it
does not ruLct our case. But while we have no de
sire.to be elvaini with the 'Porter ',spurs," neither
have we any ambition to bo s t doom among the
"A'nli•Porter" papers of the "iieys'one" s'ripr..—
We have not permitted ours Aveli to leseutne the
instruments of any set of politicians, and have
steadily resisted all attempts to force us from an
independent position. into one either hostile or
subservient to the. Governor.
If we believed that any particular act of Gov.
Porter was anti-democratic in itself, or calculated
to . work to the injury of the democratic party, we
have been prompt and fearless in thooruneb,g it.—
If, on (he other hand, we discerner, in any meas
ure of the administration, a de-ire to advance the
publtc interest, and carry out denweratie princi—
ples, we have given that measure our hearty sup
port, and it hes afferded us more pleasure to sus. ;
tain an officer elected by the democracy, than
ever it did to denounce him.
It has been our aim to ?riot an independent
paper—it is our pride that we ere "bound to no
clique, devoted to na ina-ter." As the editors of
a democratic journal, seeking to main! ain the in.
tegrity and advance the Fermanent interests of the
:shale party, we would he Like to our du , y if we
forbore to denounec, in the an At emphatic man
ner, any man elected by the p.r y. why) pursue a
course or broaches a meamre, which we think
iajurioua to the peopl•2, or dou)tfui in point, of
'wand dem acracy. Nor shall we ever auff.r per.
aonal or petty prejudice to prevent a 3 (to n
&wattling just praise to every publir; servant whey
we think it merited.
Such has heretofore been our practice—and so
we intend to go on. We leave to ,otkers the tasks
ot assaitinz with undiscriminating bitterness, or
:ending with mean adulatian, every set of GA'.
'er's
of Canal Commissioners.
o'usetve that the attention of the deft].
,t i 2 papers in the State is drawn to this
matter, and in suggesting suitable candi—
dates for the office, many of them have ex
pressed opinions fa forablc to the nomina
tion of JAMES CLARK, of Indiana. A bet—
ter selection for the interests of our public
works could not be made. Mr Clark has
been connected with out improvements
from their commencement till the pre.ent
ti!rue,with brief intermissions, and the mat:•-
ner in which he discharged the duties en..
trusted to him, satisfied men of all parties
that the interests of the State could not be
confided to a more competent or hones t
public servant. If he should be nominated
we think the democratic party in every
part of the State, will be perfectly satisfied,
and the unanimity with which they will
unite him, will do much to reconcile the bad
feelings that have grown out of the Canal
question, and ensure the election of the
whole Board.
- Here is the kind.—Let the girls get Ama.

what they are cracked up to be, they should

and are so beautifully made up that they
equal the choicest foreign fabric. It is
said that they will wear for years; they can
h. washed, bleached or altered in shape at
the will of the owner, and can be made of
any hue or color.

Tattler observes that not one man out of

It adds, 'Will any kind friend tell
.rho he was?—for, fur the life and soul

solve it. Who was Job's father? that am
the question.'
American Manufactures.—The Journal
of Commerce states that a comparison of
the cash prices of the coarser cotton gooda
at Boston and at Mancheste will show
that those of American ma . ctures are
from 10 to 20 per cent lower this country
than those of Englitrul ofsimilir quality are
at the place of their production. It thinks
that we can out-work the world in any
dhow to which our circumstances are a

I The London 7imes. —This extraordis
! nary Journal, which possesses a more ex
tensive establishment than any other in
the world created no little stir in political
circles some years since, by a st'dden
change of politics. On one day it wea
l Whig, on the next day Tory. The price
paid fur the transmutation of this powerful
engine was £lBO,OOO.
The advertisements in the Times for a
single day frequently exceed £lOOO, and
every one is paid before insertion. Uns
like the papers of this Continent, it has no
subscriber-; it supplies the New Agents,
and they the public. There are two pow
erful steam engines on the premises, and
the impressions is made by double cylins
der presses. Its circulation is the largest
in the wot Id; there is not a town ',on the
civilized earth, in which the Times may
not be found. Its reporters are to be met
with in all quarters of the globe, secompa
trying the expedition to China, and parti
cipating in the toils and dangers of the
Indian campaigns. It has correspondents
in every land. Its !expresses have traver
sed the desert, and anticipated !the Indian
Mails. Its agents are in every court, and
it lays bate thcir iru)si sceret proceedings.
!Mr Julio Water, the late member for
Nottingham, is the principal proprietor,
and lie draws fruit it a yearly revenue of
£BO,OOO. It had formerly three regular
editors, Messrs Barnes, Lawson, and De
lane, besides a large corps of occasional
writers. Since the death of Mr Barnes,
this number has h'en increased.
The Sandwich Islands —The Army and
Navy Chronicle says, that advices hare
been received Item the Sandwich Islands
as late as the Bth of March. Ou the 25th
of February, in censegoence of the de_
mands made by the British officers, which
the King could not, or would not, comply
with, the islands were conditionally ceded
to Queen Victoria. Possession was taken
of theta the same day. by Lord George
Paulet, commanding HB M ship Carp

salutes from the fort and shipsg-
Counterfeits.—At Pioaidence, on
Thursday, a man was arrested and placed
in prison, for passing counterfeit bills, for
$3, of the Agricultural Bank, Pittsfield,
Mass. both of which, were dated, Feb 6th
1843. One of the bills was made payable
to L Steave or bearer, and signed E R
Colt, Cashier, and E A Newton, Presi
dent; the other had the Ratites attached to it,
with, the exception of that of Colt the Cash.
let, that of E R Steave, being substituted
in its place.
Solitary Confinement.—The effect of
solitary confinement in Rhode Island has
caused insanity in several of the prisoners.
This has led to a modification of the sys
tem. Of thirty-seven convicts, six have
be.coma insane, only one of whom has thus
ar recovered. If a variety of books—say
on science, &..—were furnished the pris
oners to read, they would not grow insane.
Noble Sentiment.—Uarlyl.3 says in a
work:—'All work, even cotton-spinning,
is noble; work is alone noble: be that in
like manner too; all dignity is painful; a
life of ease is not for any man, nor for any
god. The life of all gods figures itself to
us as a Sublime Sadness—earnestness of
Infinite Battle against Infinite Labor.—
Our highest religion is named the 'Won.
ship of Sorrow.' For the son of man there
is no noble crown, well worn, or even ill
worn, but is a crown of thorns,'
.dcother Island sunk by an Earthquake•
—Capt. Avery of the barque Britt, arrived
at New York, on the 16th inst, from Car
thagena, reports that the Grand Cayman,
mile of the three islands ca'led Caymans,
lying between Cuba and Jamaica, was
sunk bv an Earthquake.
The Grand Cayman is abirut eight
leagues lcng and two and a half broad, and
i s inhat,i , ed mostly by the descendants of
the old Buccanniers,and by negto turtle fish

The above bas been in type for some

Enormous Trealth.—The property left
by Baroh Stieglitz, the banker, wha lately
died at St Petersburg, is estimated at the
enormous sun. of fifty millions of roubles,
betweer five and six millions sterling. He

The following statement, condensed
from a long letter in the Washington Ex
aminer, written by a gentleman who had ! I
the best opportunities of ascertaining the
facts, will give our 'readers the clearest
view of the merits of the charge of corrup
tion that was made against the Board of
Canal Commissioners, that has yet been
published. In the investigation of this ri,
diculous charge,•we understand that the
Commissioners were treated with much
unfairness and map of the important state.

lished, was sufficient to convince eve
biassild mind that there was no jest d
for the charge, and that Mr Hill's conduct
was anything but creditable to him as a
member of the Legislature, and a man pre
tending to possess honorable principles.

May 4th, 1843
Draa StE—lt affords me much pleasure to ans
wer as I thnk, satisfactorily, the enquiries eon.
tained in your letter of the 20th ultimo, in relation
to ar. alleged recent attempt of one of the Canal
Commissioners to influence the vote of one of the
members! of the Legi.'a urn by the promise of
an offleiar-itation. Bain; p.-esant at tit...! exami—
nation. of the witnesses before the Committee ap.
pointed -by the House to iuvettig,ate the subject.,
and in poss "ohm of all the facts of tha case, you
ally rely on the follow rig abstract as authentic
and strictly Correct .
As fur the President, Mr Butler, I know that
throughout the whole progress of the charges a
gainst the Commissioners front their inception by
disappointed office-expectants, until their termi
nation, he has sedulously avoided anythiag like a
participation i i any arrangement which c mid di
rectly or indirectly implicate him in the matter
under consideration. or in any kindred subj , ea.
The substance of Mr Hill's charge is contained
iii the following rail-aids from his testimony. un
der oath, before the Committee: "Mr OverfiAd
and mysel were talking at Mr. Buebler's door,
about a number of mat!ers. I men'ioned that
from what I had • understood from Gan. aleCul
lough that thee would make a new appointment
at Freeport. [lc said he was not in favor of the '
appointment then made. Ho said the Legisla
lure had go' them into a tight Mace, :rod if I
wol.ld sustain the veto and help them out, they
would appoint any man I wanted. All I had to
do was to write one or two lines on a piece of pa
per
and put my name to it. • * a That if I
they went to thst country and there was any dig
satistaction they could show on whose responsibil
by it was mace. • Mr Overfleld did m t
mention any nauseirrinr offer me the appointment."
It appears that Mr Hill had a previous cdnversa•
titan wi•h Gen. Nl‘Cullough, of which he speaks as
follows. "Be (Gen. hillCullough,) said he bad
bean up to see Major Reynold., and he was sick
in tied. He told me isl would say the word I
could have the office myself • • * j could
have the pcwer of ap pointing any one un ler
rn^." He asked rue if the appointment of Scott
was not unpopular. There was ler nsiderable talk
about the unpopularity of the appointment."
The foregoing contains the pith of all the
charges preferred by Mr Hill, which hie resulted
in so much needless and uncalled fur Jeelamation
against the Canal Commis4nners. I will now
advert to the testimony of Gen. McCullough, I ke.
wise tk member, its taken before the Committee.—
I You.iv-ill observe that his statement partly corrob•
orated that of Mr Hill, and in some material parts
conflicts with it. Toe standing of General Mc-
Cullough for integrity and veracity is unquestion•
able and unquesti. ned everywhere.
Ile says, of er POMP! irrelavent conversation—'l
asked Mr Hill if he was still dissatisfied with t.
appointment in his coudty, lie said he was, and
that the man appointed could not get twenty votes
in three townships. I replied (hat I had no doubt
11,-. could either get the appointment himself, or
for any,otheizoi d man be wanted or would name.
I said I would give him the assistance I could to
get a change made—l pledged him my word and
honor that I would render him any assistance in
.ro‘vr - •r. * • Mr Hill came over to my desk
a7l,i a- me what the Canal Commissioners
,r , :u;re him to du provided he inede appli.
Cor th a;)pointm •nt,l said I could not tell
but I !,rt:timr-1 they would expect him to eupport
them."
Cross Ex imitird by Mr• Hill—
•I never said I conversed with Mr Reynolds—l
Kay upon Inv solemn oath that I never told Mr
Hill that I had authority from any of the Canal
Commissioners to say ant thing about a change.
I never pledged my word to Mr Hill that he could
get toe Alec. As I have a God to meet, I never
mentioned veto to Mr Hill !I I never had any
conversation with any of the Canal Commissioners
about this matur e ' . I never spoke to. Mr Overfield
upon the subject until since the conversation with
Mr Hill. I never spike to Mr Butler on the sub
ject'!!
This completes the material parts of the evidence
on both sides, and will readily enable you to arrive
at a correct apprehension of all the acts of the
case. What ground is there, then, for the whole
sale charges against the Hoard which we have
heard? Surely none at all. The indiscreet re•
quest of Mr. Overfield for assistance from Mr Hill
has been blown and expanded until the whole state
has been covered with its assumed character ofan
attempt at bribery. The single unoacial act of
one member of the Board has been magnified into
a systentised effort of all of them to corrupt the
Legis'ature As a consequence of this, gross
justice has been done, especially to the other
menihers of the Board. So far as Mr Butler is
concerted, it is but justice to all parties, to say
that he kept entirely aloof from anything that
cook by possibility be construed into the exertion
of official influence. He knew nothing of the
strange tale told by Mr Hill—was not cognizant
in any way of the ailed ed proceedings, and in'
fact was not at the seat of Government, at the
time. Yours, &c.

The Gold Speens.—The editor of the
Portland American who lately visited the
White House says he could not resist in.
tirmating a desire to Mr Tyler, to see the
gold spoons of Mr Van Buren.
'Ah, Mr Kingsbury,' he replied, laugh..
ingly, th i pse spoons only existed in imagi*

American IVood Screws.—The New I
York Evening Post says: we have been
shown a sample of screws manufactured by
the New . England: Screw Company, at
Providence, Rhode Island. They are re
markably neat and regular in their work
manship, compared with the British arti..
cle, which is coarse and rough to the eye.
We are told that the cost of manufactUring
them is about a cent a gross, that a girl
will turn out, with the machinery, sixty
gross a day, and that the manufactory of
the company makes about a ton of them
daily. They may be furnished 25 per ct.
cheaper than the English article, which
will ensure their sale in this country, we
suppose, tariff or no tariff.
The Secreary of the Treasury.—The
hard working, business habits of Mr Spen
cer are well known. He posseses the
faculty of understandiug the merits of ev.
ery question presentod to him in the shoe
test possible space of time, and despatches
business with amazing rapidity. The fol
lowing account of his introduction into the
Treasury office we find in the Hartford
Patriot:
The first day Mr Spencer went into his
officio ir. the Treasury Department, he
asked for business, and a small trunk cons
taining and full of the papers that required
an imn.ediate disposition wss brought him.
By the next morning the immense labor
was performed, all the papers examined
and the trunk was cleared. Knowing his
character as a workie, the trunk was sent
in filed to overflowing again. By the
next mot fling-these were gone,and the sec
retary asked for more business. The trunk
was sent in again, filled. By the next
morning they were all examined and dis
posed of, and the Secretary asked for more
business, when he was informed that the
papers were all era ',hied, and that no
more remained. Thus, in an incredible
short time, he examined trunks full of pa
pets, and disposed of all the cases connec.
ted with them, that had been accumulating
for months, and which would have requi
red an ordinary man weeks or-months to
dispose of them. I o .due time Secretary
• Spencer will have the Treasury Depart
ment, with all its extensive ramifications,
lin such order as it has never known since
the formation of the Government.
Shivery in Texas..—We learn, from
several of the N. Orleans journals, that the
project:of ab.dishing the institution of s'a
very, is much discussed in Texas at . the
present time, thiaugh generally the Texan
papers are silent upon the subject. Our N.
Orleans cotemporaries are exceedingly
warm upon the theme. and attribute the
state of feeling in Tr xas to the opera
lion of British influence, which, however . ,
is denied by the Civilian of Galveston.—
The abolition scheme is urged on the
ground that, if s'avery did'uot exist, the
republic would be greatly,,atrengthened
by emigration front Europe and from the
northern portions of the United States.—
It was curious enough that while John
Quincy Adams and his immediate col
leaguas are holding up Texas as a bug
bear to anti-alavely, the southern papers
and using it in the same way in regard to
pro-slavery. But, more or less, it is al.
ways so with us. Passion and prejudice
are always noisy and active, that truth and
the real state of the case must be carefully
searched out, or we are in danger of being
misled altogether. Now what. is the fact
in regard to Texas 7 Is it upon the verge
of sweeping away slavery altogether, or is

Gden'l men—Seeing in your paper of the 26 in,t,
a pragraph relating to the •Sylvania Industrie
Association"located on the banks of the Delawar 1
in this state, and of it= flattering prospectl wee
led to inquire, what had bec ,me of the "Exchanga
Association" lately being formed in this vicinity
I was gratified to learn, a day or two since, tha,
the matter was again reviving, and that the sub.
ject would be soon brought to a practical bearing
by revising the former Constitution. Sotnetech
nical ditrerence also existed amongst some of the
leading persons as to a test of membership.
The suggestions lately made by persons here,
and papers from other parts,ooticing the progress
of other Associations, induce me to say eomes
thing on the subject- As to the advantages ari
sing fro.n united efforts in any, undertaking the
are evident to every capacity. Let us look at our
own Government which has ~become, as Lord
Brougham in the British House of Lords lately
styled it —"That Powerful Republic;" but we
will come to a smaller scale,say six families unite
as farmers, they s !le.:t. a location, work togethar
for each other's benefit, build their houses, culti.
vate their ground, attend their stock, send their
surplus produce to market, manufacture their own
clothing, &c.,&c.;what, I would ask, would a few
years' connexion of this kind produce, with a
capital ofsay s3,ooo,certainly beyond conjecture.
The same would apply to any other branch of bus
siness, instances cf which might be produced in
our own "Cities of Smoke."
.The sufferings enduredlby many in the commer
cial world will teach us, that the road to wealth is
a ragg. d one, although a few avenues are open—
th t industry and a proper application of our time
and talents atone wilt secure us success. • We a'...
so find the heavy capitalist spending many a
sleepless night and maybe a whole lifetime too,ln
mi, , ery, in attending to his fancied wealth. Not
so nim, who has spent his day in some wholesome
bodily employment either in the workshop as
in the above example, when evening comes, bet
retires to his home and enjoys the sure reward of
industry, a pier mind, conscious - of baying per
formed his duty to his fellow-man, he can thereby
retire, and bald sweet communion with bus God.
