    THE INDEBTED STATES
The following interesting article, which we take
from the Albaoy Argue, will show the immense
resources of the indebted stales, and their olti—
skate ability to redeem themselves from the 4i6'i•
etiltiei into which reckless and improvident legit.
ktion ban plunged them:—
THE WEALTH OP THE WEST
Wheat and all other agricultural products have
idtanced remarkably during the last four weeks.
They wnuld now pay a handsome profit to the pro
ditcer. The rise has been at least 20 cta per hush
en wheat, and 10 cte. on corn, in every State in
thtf-Union.
:Yaw are fully aware what a mighty volume of
isfilth this will roll in upon the Western States.
11 will nearly double their resources in buying
goods or in paying debts.
Some 'data will not here be out of place. Ohl)
lit 1842 raised 25,387,439 bushels of wbeat. It is
.opposed to be a fair estimate that half of that
clop has been sold out of the Stale, or consumed
at home, and that the remaining half was held by
the merchants, millers and farmers of that State,at
the time of the present rise in prices. It will ap
pear then that the citizens of Ohio have 12,000,..
000 of bushels on which to realize 20 cents of
dor profit. This amounts to a clear gair: of $2,-
411190,000 on wheat only. Now let ut take Indian
Ohio raised in 1842, 39,424,221 bushels.—
illikzeijr be safely estimated that two thirds of this
has been sold out of the State, consumed at home,
Or ferny., cattle. This leaves 13,000,000 of bush
-41 10-. realize on; at present prices; and this gain
amounts. to $1,300,000. Let us apply the same
dita to some of the other Western States.
Indiaza in 1842, raised 8,300,666 bushels of
wheat. Deducting half for consumption and pre-
Timis sales, and we have 4,250,000 bu,hela on
Itrid; an advance of 20 cm's gives $850,000 of
increased wealth. The save Sate raised 38 838,-
750 bushels of corn. D. dutiting two thirds for
consumption and previous salac, and we have 12,
900,040 bushels;lo cents ad% ace gives 91,230,000
of additional profit.
'ools raised in 1842, 5,799,058 bui-hels; deduct
half, and we have 2,894,000 bushels hea•—the

96.646,780 busliels,deduct two thirds an I we have
8.500 000 bushels; the advance of 10 scats gives
8960,000.
Michigan in 1842, r/i-ed 3,95:2,383 Luellals of
wheat; deduct halt as bofore, end we have 1,975,-

Making a sum total for these four
States of $7,950,800
elmt gain on the crop of 1842 by the late rise in
ptioes.
We have only taken these States, because they
atte heavily indebted, to show the immen-ity of
their present resonrces,and how a slight improve
meat in the price oftheir great staples. wheat and
corn, adds miHioaa to their wean. A few crops
at fair prices would pay every donut' of their in•-
debtedneea. We have made no estimate of the
amount they may have alai gained by the rise of
their other articles of prot;uce, oats, barley,rye,and
potatoes, filly-four millions two hundred and fifty
thousand bushels of which were raised in these
four States in the year 1842. Evcn an increase of f
a single penny on a bushelodds thousands of dol
lars to their wealth ; but When the rise is at least
six cents, as it is in fact nn these articles, a reflec
tiag mind can form some slight estimate how a •
fall or a rise of prices at New York or Boston ei. I
liter decreases or acds millions to their earnings.
The estirna•c of prices is also low. Wheat is
new 30 cents per bushel higher than it was in
March. It now commands 80 cents at Citicago,
whereas 45 and 50 cents was the price last win • '
1414 but the average rise of the last six weeks is
about 20 cents. We deem the estimate and cur
retperading calculations e ,ce,2dingly .m.der ate,be
holing it far better t fall within 019 truth, than
beyond it.

We observe by our exchanges, that the
people in various pacts of the state, are be.
ginning to consider the nomination of can
didates for Canal Commissioners, by the
State Convention that is to assemble on the
sth of September. This is a matter in
which the people are deeply interested,
and we hope that every county will take
means to be represented in the Convention,
so that there may be a full and fair expres
sion
of public sentiment from every guar
ter of the state.
The tax-payers of Pennsylvania have
been entirely too careless in regard to our
public improvements,and they have permit
ted time to pass, without sppearing to think
that they were in any wise interested in
the good or bad management of the public
works, or that they were responsible for
the extravagance into which corrupt legis•
latior: had plunged them. Hut wit'ain the last
two or three years they have been permit..
ted to take a peep at the vast debt with
which they have been burthened, under the
specious plea of advancing internal
im
provemen's,—improvements which, it is
now found, will never pay the interest on
the cost of construction. Such have been
the fruits of that logrolling system of
islatile,by which the members traded their,
votes to one another,for the passage of laws
in which they had a pecuniary interest.--
A Rail Road would enhance the value of
the property of one, while a Canal would I
be of the greatest advantage to another,
and by uniting the interests of aq who were
actuated by such pa/riotic feelings, the
people were saddled with the enormous
state debt under which they now strugg'e,
and for a large portion of which they will
never receive any return. lithe tax.payers
had been vigilant, such a state of things
e 2,1 IC • 000

never could have occurred. Nlembera
would riot have dared to vote away millions
to construct a Canal or ,Rail Road to run
through their property; the glaring absur
dity of such works were so manifest that
the first murmur from the people would
have compelled the corrupt projectors to
abandon their schemes.
Another evil that was, nearly resulting
to the injury of the people from their care
lessnes in the matter, was the sale of the
main line—the only productive portion of
our public works—to a company of ca'2i
talists, at a price far beneath its value, and
to be paid for in stock on which the Specu
lators would realiz-! from 50 to 80 per cent.
This scheme was fraught with innumet a
ble evils to the people of Pennsylvania; it
would create a monopoly more vast and
overshadowing than all the bank chartPrA
that were ever granted by our legislature,
and it would leave the State with a hope
less debt of about 25,000.000, which would
have to be wrung from the pockets of the
tax payers. Although this scheme is de-.
feated for the present, yet we do not be.
lieve that the speculators who d esire to
seize our public improvements, have a
bandoned the hope of ultimately accom
plishing their purpose. We believe it,
therefore, to be the duty of every citizen
who has any regard fur the interests of the
sate; of every taxpayer who does not de
sire to be burthened with exorbitant taxes,
to pay some attention to this subject, and
to take part in the preliminary movements
fir the selection of public officers,. whose
official duties are, in any way, connected
with the public improvements.
In the selection of candidates for Canal
Commissioners, the nest consideration to
their competency and honesty, should be
their opposition to the sale of the main line,
and no delegate should be sent to the Con
vention against whom a suspicion existed
of bring in favor of that project
In the nomination of candidates for the
legislature, the same matter should be kept
in view, and no man should receive the
nomination who will not pledge himself to
oppose this unwise and suicidal scheme.
We are rejoiced to announce that the
democrats have, beyond all doubt, elected
every member of Congresvin Louisiana.
In the 3d district Dawson is elected, and
in the 4th, Bossier.
In the 2nl district whore Gov. White
was a candidate, and against whose per.
mild popularity our friends had no hopes
of success, babranche, the democratic can•
dilate is elected by a majority of 86.
In the Ist district Slidd has a majority
of 347.
This ib a glorious commencement of the
campaign, and we have no doubt but that
in every state where elections are to take
place, the people will try to emulate the
brilliant triumph of the democracy of Lou
isiana, and to show the worid their disgust

I 07"Alth gh e whigs a nd
, blue noses
profess - 1411W the good or bad opinion
of the diniociats in the moat suprethe con
tempt, yet if a democrat happens to speak
in a mild phrase of one of the factions, the
other is certain to evince a feeling of pee
vish jealousy that indicates how much im
portance they attach to the opinions of hon
est politicians, whose policy is marked out
by well defined principles, and not con
trolled by the low, petty schemes of a dis
honest faction.
A few weeks since, we wrote an ar.
title noticing the present position of the
federal party in this county, arid in the con
clusion declared that our "sympathies were
with the whigs," and hoped that they
might "ride rough shod ever the blue no..
seg." This expression has excited the en.
vy and wrath of the whole tribe of blue
nosed scribblers, and the Gazette and A-
meriean have been terming with communica-
tions and editorials denouncing the Post for
giving the whigs such a decided advantage
over the antimasons. We did not think
that the expression was of so much impor
tance at the time, but we are now cons
vinced that it was a death blow to the
blues, or they would not have spent so
much of their fast failing strength in kick
ing the Post, for expressing a more charit
able opinion for their factious brethren
than for them.
We are humane, however, and to calm
the dying rooments of the poor blue noses,
we will state that we de.est the policy and
print iples of the whigs as much as we ever
did the ascendency of the antimasons, and
if ever they should treat the few remain- r
ing blue noses, with as mucb cruelty as
the blue noses did them in times gone by,
we assure them we will take their part and
do what we can consistently to mitigate
their sufferings. 'The ulterior objects of '
whiggery and antimasonry are the same to
U 3; we believe them to be alike opposed to
the interests of the great body of the peo,
plc, but we, with eve!) , other democrat,
have thought, that on account of the !Iran
ity with which the antimasons have tram.
peled on the whigs for yeara past, it would
be well to make an example of them, in
order that the fall of the blue noses might
point a moral, from which future factions
may learn that, sooner or later, retribution I
will overtake them for acts of wanton cru. 1
elty to their followers.

Discovery of a new Nation of Africans.--
A new negro nation has been discovered
in Africa by Mr. Wilson, a Missionary,
who is stationed on the Gaboon river,
which empties in the Atlantic, about twen
ty miles north of the equator. They live
in the interior of Africa, about five hun.
Bred miles. from the sea coast, and he
calls them the Pangwe people. He suppo
ses that this people are spread over the
vast unknown region of /Africa. Their
appearance is not described, hut he says
they show evidence of an approach to civ

ticles made of iron of their own manu.

Turning Theatres into Cluirches.—We think
the religious community missed their aim when
they thought that in buying a Theatre and con
verting it into a Church they are thereby aiding
in suppressing the Drama. The following from
the Boston Times fully proves thin We aro
sorry to hear some persons declaim against a res
!igloos society for closing the Tremont as a The
atre. Their motives were excellent, and they de
serve the thanks of all lovers of the drama, for
their action has given quite an impetus to theatri
cal affairs, and we shall shortly have a pretty the
atre next to the Tremont, while the Odeon will re.
vert to its original destination, and be re opened
once more as the Federal Street Theatre. Tie
same thing occurred in Providence; a religious
society bought the old theatre at a high price end
converted it into a church, and a much larger and
handsomer theatrical edifice was immediately:
erected."
Otr-If he "who drives fat oxen should himself be

in cases. The Boston Times says, 'some five ice

"bilin' " passion the other day that they had to re-
Nog to a game of fisticuffs hefore they could "cool
off.' We should think their commodity could
hardly last lung in the neighborhood of such in
flammable gentlemen.'

Belem singular mode of lir.. Having been for
some time inflicted with a liver curnplai , t, he pro
cured a treatise on the subject of this malady, and
resolved to practise upon the advice which he
found therein. It is now seven years since lie
began to co!low this prescription. During that
time he liza never failed to take two baths per
day, at all seasons of the year. At first he re.
mained in the water two hours, but gradually lie
increased the tune, until at last for three years
he has entered the buthin! room at 4 ur 5 o'clock
in the morning, and remained until noon; his din•
tier hour. He returned at past 1, and did not
leave until 8 in the evening, to get his su per and
go to bed. Thus his stay in the water was not
less than 13 hours every thy. He was obliged to
walk a great di-tance from his home to the baths
an I back again, but this never appeared to be a
toil to him, nor did it prevrnt him from bathing,
notwithstanding his increased feebleness. Last
Tuesday in the afterno•m, he arrived at the balls
a little ',ter than usual, and having looked at the
clock, he lamt nted the loss of a precious half hour;
at three o'clock, the boy opened the c'oor of his
room to see if he wanted any thing, but found our
aquatic man with his head cast down and motion
less. He was dead.
From the effect of habit he cluld scarcely bear
wiin patience the time he was obliged to pass eut
