PUBLIC WORKS OF Pul jest of a
sale of the public works of the State of Michigan, is
again under the consideration by the people of that
Suite. The income of the main line is, at present,
sigh that it promises to be a future source of nsven
ue if retained by the State. On the other hand, if sold,
it is thought the works would be complct-d much
sooner. Eastern capitalists are willing to pay to the
State the cost and interest of every public work in
Michigan—provided they are absolutely conveyed to
them—and forgoer, they obligate ..themselves to com

company with Calvin Fairbanks, on a chinoofabduc

tried and convicted, and her punishment fixed by the
jury at two years' imprisonment in the pmiontiary at
hard labor. The trial of Fairbanks is postponed until
the March term, 1845.

when the Democratic party of Pennsylvania will be
called upon to put in illumination a suitusle candidate

and as there is now in the Board one from the West
and another from the East whose term of office does
not aspire - fot more than two years, I presume the
northern or middle part of the_ state will urge their
claim for the man of their choice.

SCI ENTIVC FORGERIES:
irtfrneli has collerAtallist and given a hisvvy of
the hteery forgeries—of dates altered--of licticioes
titles—books reprinted to leave out or interpolate
whole passages. Tombstones of precious antiquity
were dug up and presented to autiqustiart societies;
and the itnpostot s tumid byte enjoy the joke and reap
the rewards of the false to We cannot give half
of these curious impositions. But there is another
species of firgeris whiat is taking place befo r e our
eyes every day. It is scientific cheating. Chemistry
and electricity, painting and sculpt me, are all laid en
der contribut ion to carry out the cheat. Wooden nu:-
megs are famous the world over and many a verdant
youth has bought a brass watch for a gold else. Good
tea is made from aloe leaves: sugar issnatie of•ilour.
We doubt whether half the jewelry on a lady's fingers
is not ntado of brass or arena baser metal. -Logwood
makes many a hogshead of brandy.
. -
The N Y Commercial Advertiser hiu off this sub
ject in the fipllewing style:
"It would almost seem that nothing could set at de
fiance the stimulating pet fectioa of modern science.
True, there is nu power in human skill or knowledge
to make a blade of grass, or so common and simple a
thing as a bird's feather; but the bright and precious
gems of the !nine are counteikited with astonishing
precision; and not only counterfeited, but actually pro-'
duced, made, by a chemical process. Mechanicalart
has contrived machines that can walk, play on musi
cal instrument., write, and even talk, after the manner
of the creature that was made in the image of the Al
mighty. We have artificial marble and artificial ice;
pine boards pitintr4 in such wouiterful resemblance to
mahogany and the other variegated woods, that no
closeness of inspection can d lent the client; German
silver aria music gold; sugar-eggs and chaienlato ci
gars; old French brandy manufactured within the hour
from rank American whiskey; excellent Port wine that
never grew in Portugal, or was pressed from grapes in
li
any country; and Campagne which hung, not lung
ago, on the branches of New Jersey apple trees."
"TUF:Y must - ELECT THEE SKNATOR FROM VIRGI
IVIA."—London Times.
The London Times catches at the Senate of the U
nited States as a limb to break the fall of its party in
the kite election. In almost the very language of Mr
Reed's letter to Lehigh—one of his thousand letters,
we may presume, seatterieg election funds in lumps of
$5OO over resinsylvaida—whigers is given to under
stand, by the organ of the torus of Enema, that it
must "do better" in the senatorial elections_ than it did
in the late presidential struggle.
"J• ostler to maintain a majority .in the Senate.
(says the Times to the whigs,l they muse elect the sen
ator from eirginia and the senator from Delaware.
Unless they get the Virginia and Delaware senators,
the slave and Texas party will have the practical ma
jority, through the casting vote of the Vide President
of the United States."
