We have good reason for making the further assurance, that et ery year will greatly tucrease the km , unt of its business, no' simply from the increased prodortion of the West, but the diversion of that product front other tautee, to this, the safest and cheapest, between the mouth of the Ohio and the, mouth ofthe Clod- The above is from the Smerican of yes terday, and is an honorable testimony of the great advantage of the" Truck System," and shows how certain it is that our pub lie works must, is a short ti ne, with pro per management, become a source of great revenue to the state.

But if the project far the sale of the main line receives the sanction of the Gov ernor, this system, so liberal to the public, and so advantageous to the State, will be abolished, and among the other evils that would follow such an event, as a sale of the improvements,we may expect to see the industrious men who are now doing busi ness on their "own book,"with the section boats forced to give up, and the whole bus airless, as well as'thP, public works, pass into the hands of wealthy -monopolists.— A'he Govt rnor has the power to prevent this -state of things, which ,could be so injurious to the prosperity of the commonwealth and the convenience of the publir, and we feel certain that it must be this wish of every honest man who has a feeling oflegard fur the interests of the people, that he should do so, and preserve our noble improvements forthose who have to pay for their construction. Bad as is our opinion of the last Legis• laCure, %le cannot but think that many of those who voted for the sale of the main line, did so without fully understanding the ruinous effects that such a proceeding would have on the financial intetests of the Sta,e, and the immense public debt that it would still leave to be wrung from the peo ple by direct taxation; for after the main line is sold,no other source is left adequate to pay either interest or.principal but tax ation. When these men fully understand the effects of the measure which they help ed to force through the Legislature, we think they cannot but desire that the Gov.. ernor will interpose his veto,and thus save the people from the evils which the mad policy of theit representatives had well nigh fastened upon them. .

All the cannon, with the equipments, were to be conveyed to Merida by the Yu• eaten volunteers, to remait, subject to the I order of the MexiCan government, after the present war should have been termina ted. • The Picayune says, Commodore Moore arrived at Campeachy early on the morn• ing of the 27th of April. Unfortunately, just as he was rounding Point Piny, near the entraoce of the harbor, he was becalm ed. While in this situation he was attack ed by the Mexican war steamers Monte zuma and Gaudaloupe. After a short ac 7 tion he was enabled to drive them off, with.; out sustaining any particular damage. The Yucatanese made an attack upon one of the boats of the steamer Montezirr ma near Telchae on the 23d ult., and after a short action were enabled to captur her. together with several bougoa, or boats of the country. The first Lieutenant of , tha :Montezuma, Charles Garenk, (we give I the name as the Merida journals print it,) the surgeon, Edward Dickenson, two Eng lish sailors and a number of Mexicans were taken prisoners. Several were killed and wounded in the engagement. him."

Messrs Editors:—Th , time is fast ap proaching when the Dem rcracy of this county will be called upon to choose can didates for the several county offices. I would therefore take th , ) liberty of submit ting the name of EDWARD D• GAZZAM, 3f Pitt township, for Congress. lie it a geti• tleman of talent, energy and uncomprom ising republican principles. who bravely fought the battles of the Democratic party on every.emergency. it cannot be forgot ten, that when he was nominated for the state Senate in 1841, he had 3031 of a federal majority to contend with, over which he triumphantly succeetled,by 47 of a democratic majority. Will the Democrats of this county not rally around su ch a man and give him one other c hance, which is so justly due by the party. During the bank suspension crisis. to which mAy be attritm ted the distressed condition into which the country has been plunged, Ed ward D Gazzam was patriotically wing his intel lectual energies in the cause of the injured people. when the hirelings of the Banks were advocating thlitiniquitous measure. .1 E FTE B SON . ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMER CALEDONIA The steamship Caledonia arrived at Bna ton on - Friday rntiruing, at 5 o'block,bring ing news five (lays later, but of very little generai imoortance. She left Liverpool on the 4th inst. There was a debate in the House of Commons on the 2nd, on a motion of Mr. Hume for a vote of thanks to Lord Ash burton, in connexion with the Treaty of Washington. The motion brought up the ablest men on both sides of the House. Sir R. Peel was more than usually brief and quiescent. But, though bricf he was effective, and an allusion to the speedy set. dement' of the Oregon question was favor ably received by the House. There is every prospect of an abundant 1 crop this year, Ships for the United States were most ly without freight or passengers. Theatrieala are at a very low ebb. Bunn exhausted himself with keeping open the Covent Garden, and' has now shut up. The Italian Opera ir. London is not pay ing expenses. Chartist Trials.—O'Connor and other Chartists, tried at the late Lancaster As sizes, together with White who was tried at Warwick, a...d Cooper who was tried at Stt,fford, have received notice to appear at the. Queen's Bench on Thursday, May 4, to receive judgement. The'French Governor of the Marqueses and fourteen of his attendants, have been massacred by the natives. France.—Paris, May 2.—The affairs of Servia are art anged. The Divan has con ceded all the demands of Russia. Prince George is to abdicate, his councillors and Kiamil to quiet Servia, and a new election to take place, probably in favor of Prince M isnach. London Money Market.—There is noth ing new in the operations in public secu— rities. Consols started :at,106 1-4. These changes clearly show how easily the mar ket is effected in consequance of the ab hence of transactions of magnitude. We, indeed, expect no change until after Mon. day, when the Chancellor of the Ex. chequer brings forward the Budget of the year. Exchequer bills are a shade firmer, and quoted 68 70. P. M. Feather Cleaner.—Mr Noble has a ma chine for renovating feathers that have been long in use and hive become dirty or lose tbeir elasticity. It is an invaluable article for house keepers, who should not neglect to - test its advantages. We have seen a letter from a merchant in Havanna, which says a few words about ike English steamships. composing the Royal West India Mail line. There can be no doubt that these a nd other steam vessels, the but ding of which the English jovernment so liberally encourage, are in tended u' be converted into steam ships-of war upon her brat rupture with any mill time power.

Poverty in the City of New York.—A statistical account of the applicants for alms at the Commissioner's office in New York, between the lit of January and the .I , d of Apt il last, gives the number at So. 955. On examining the situation of thi'ae applicants, it appeared that they represen. ted an average of four and one half, ma• king a total of 40,432 persons, who were compelled to lay their wants before the Idoors of public charity. On Monday last (Ist lest) the Sac and Pox In• thane, according to the stipulations of the Tleaty, were to have vacated the eastern half of the new purchase—some !Mir or six millions of acres. The thousands of emigrants who have been con gregated along the tine for several week, past. have, doubtless, ere this pitched their tents in this new El Dorado of the WeQt, and are now busily employed in making claims and building dciatici a for their families. This is a most important event to lowa. It gives us hundreds of miles of let ritory, millions of acres of the best soil in the world, together with endltss water power and valuable mineral., and opens upon nor western border a new world, as it were, the trade of which will soon become iuvalu able and add incalculably tu the wealth of our ter ritory. Nor need the advantages be confined oz. ( elusively to the citiz7.ns of lowa. This new cowl- try is open to all who :hose to go upon it—and we can safely say there is roon enough upon it for the population of almost any state in the Un ion. Those who choose to come will do well to Come, and they will be welcome. Oregon is a I 'small potatoe' compared with the new lowa pur ! chase, so far as the interests of a -western settler may be concerned .
