Illrhen hit H. was fresh from the ranks of the people, a

Of D GILLELAND, Esq., the Liberty candidate, we

then, give our candidate an undivided and
support, and - Victory is assured to us. -
NATI()Nat. Er.ronstr.as.—We would say one

Can they depend on his sincerity? If he is veluntiry

' Scr..sc? ICous cit.—We are informed that one of
the candidates for Select Council in the Ist ward, in
tends to move •to a country residence in the spring.
Many, oftbe citizens of the ward, who have been de
signated by some office hunter, the "humfder class"
of the community, would liketo know how he will be,
able to attend to the intetests.Cf the city, while living
sthis palace in the country. Many worthy men of the
"humbler class," are of the opinion that citizens of
Pill township are not] eligible to the city Councils.
We would advise those who think so, to attend at the
polls today, and vote for a citizen who does not intend
'to snare cutler-the ward at the time his services will
be required in tha'Councils. In the present state of
cur city affairs, it is necessary that all its officers should
feel a lively interest in their management. and it is
PO to be inspected that a person from the country can
,!entertain as much zeal for the prosperity of our mu
nicipal concerns as one of our own citizens.

that the President , Ertreetors and Company of the
Plainfield Bank, New Jersey, haveinstitated we suits
Against James Gordon Sennett, ,for false and nutlici•
ayes libel.—:-One in the SuperiorCoart, laying daunts
*1515,00 the other in the Supreme Court, damages
*550.000. Said libels having appeared in the New
York Herald—elm last week, and the other on Mon-
works.
The Board expresses the opinion that the Section
Bost system has "produced advantages to the State,
by regulating the prices of fi eight, and thereby increa
sing trade," and recommends that more Trucks should
be built. It gives us pleasure to record this fact, as
we was early and eat nest advocates of the Section
Boat System The speedy completion of the North
Branch Canal, and a connection by its means with 00,1
Chemung Canal, are recommended.
But the most important matter connected with the
internal improvements of the State, is, the transfer of
the Beaver dirision of the Canal from Beaver to Erie,
to the Eric Canal'Company. By the Act of Match
7, 1843,4 was provided that the Beaver Division
shoald be given up to the Company, when "the whole
"line Item New Castle to Erie shall be completed, and
"in actual use, for the transportation of merchandise
"throughout its whole length." The Board regret ;
that the Executive should have thought it necessary to
transfcr the works to the Company, (which has been
done.) and express "strong doubts" as to whether
it is "completed end in actual use"--as required by
the Act of incorporation. The Board justly conlude
that if these doubts should be well founded, "the
company has no right to the possession of the Beaver
division."
They indulge the hope that the Legislature could a
dept measures not incompatible with the charter of
the company, by which the State would retain posses
sion of the Erie Extension.—The whole co-t of the E
rie Division to the State was 64,548,908 29; the turn
necessary to complete it, $2. ( 17,926 02 ! So that the
company, for expending tbs. latter amount (or perhaps
less) receive property which cost the State over 41
millions! The Board goes on to show how dangerous
if
not disastrous to our public works, the company may
make this Erie division. It is but 226 mlies from Buf
falo to steamboat navigation on the Ohio, by way of the
Erie route. By way of Cleveland, taking the Ohio
Canal to Portsmouth, it is 439 miles to steamboatnav
igation from Buffalo. And from the same place by way
of Cleveland, traveling by the Pennsylvania and Ohio
Canal and-Beaver Line, it is 323 miles to the Ohio at
Beaver. Thus it will be seen that the Erie Division
is much the nearest route frem Buffalo to the Ohio riv
er, as well as much the cheapest. The Company may
fix what rates of toll they please; and by adopting a
very low rate may attract a greet amount of business,
and so reap great dividends from the Investment of
the stockholders. It is evident from these facts that
the Company have it in their power greatly to injure
the public works of the State, and take business from
its commercial metropolis—and the Board very justly
observe that the subject is deeply interesting to emery
holder of State Stock - , and every tax-payer of the
Commonwealth.
We must pass over other interesting items of the
Report, and conclude our notice of it by giving a re
capitulation of the Receipts and Expenditures upon
the works for the past year:

Rev. J. BAKMF.L.T..—We learn from the
Churchman that this eminent preacher and amiable
man, has accepted an invitation , to the Doctorship of
Trinity Church, Toledo, Ohio. Mr 13., though he has
but recently taken orders in the Episcopal Churcb,has
obtained much distinction in his now field of labor.—
His departure from our city will be regretted by a
large circle of friends and a cquaintances, by whom be
is respected for his eloquence and unaffected piety as
a minister, and to whom he was endeared fur his
exemplary and Lind deportment in private life. As a
teacher, too, his loss will be felt by to who have
enjoyed the advantages of the excellent Seminary for
Young Ladies, which is under his charge. lie will
bear with him to his new residence the warmest wishes
of many frienis for his success and happiness.

And vote with good will for Maitaw.

Fat ,gets cad Leen Men.—Fatness is a deadly foe
to genie*. It produces sluggishness of body and in
entrees of mind. In carniverous and pot-bellied bo.
dies. not only does the blood creep lazily through the
veins, like muddy water in a canal, but the brain:is
darkened and oppressed with gross animal vapors,
which stifle the very germs of talent, and cloud or ex
tinguish almost every spark of intellect. Shaltspeate
says.
. Fat paunches make lean pates and grosser bits
Make rich the ribs, hut bankrupt the wits.
The men who set the world on fire are universally
lean men—beings who can distinctly feel and teckon
on their own ribs. Their bodies have become almost
as ethereal us the ardent spirits they enshrine—hence
the restlessness, the ce*teless activity of such persons.
11'ho ever heard of a fat Bonaparte, or a corpulent
Alexander? One might as well talk of s leaden ar
row, a brick balloon, a slow hurricane, eelazy light
ning. Fat men are too easy, quiet, and g&al-natured
to make any great disturbance in the world. lie nev
er heard of their performing any mighty deeds. It is
the thin blade that pierces the deepest, and the leanest
horse generally wins the race. Ml men with great in
tellect have been lean and lath-like—small, sapless,
hatchet-faced anatomies, who have half spiritualized
themselves by keeping matter in subordination to mind,
corporeally testifying that the sword has worn out the
Scabbard, and the fiery soul "o'er informed its tegu
ment of clay." Nobody ever saw a brilliant writer
that had a protuberant stomach. In nine eases out of
ten, big men are big boobies. Their intellect is so
smothered by the mass of flesh, that it is as powerless
as Enceladus under Etna. We always fight shy of
your "letsn and hungry Cassias;" but wbo was ever
terrified by a "fair round belly with good capion lined?"
Tba fat man does occasionally work himself up into *
temporary fit of rage—but the indignation casts lArs
tool:ouch exertion to last long. Yanked Blade.
