The vacancy, it should be re membered, however, is caused by the expiration of the term of James Clark, at present President of the Beard. Mr. CLARK, es a western man, in the arrangements of the Board, was charged with the control of the Western Division of the Public Works; in the selection of a successot, the Convention should be careful to keep this feet in view, and not deprive the west of a Canal Commissioner. We can see no reason why the west should be deprived of a rep resentative in the CH11:11 Board. If the candidate to be nominated, is taken from the counties cast of the mountains awl west of the Susquehanna, then you give the middle division two representatives in the Board, and the West RCMP. If you take him from the counties east of the Susquehanna, then you give the Eastern Division two representatives, and the West none.— We have nu wish to excite sectional feelings, but in fact, we conceive thisto be a case, where it is entirely ripper:to urge the claims of the Western section of the State. The Board is composed of three members. At present, the East, the Middle and %Vestern Divis- Wee have Pleb i representative in the Board. The terms of the \Vestein member is about to expire, and t inclititning for the west the candidate, we do no in- ' justice to the other divisions, because they will each i t hive, as now, a representative. It will not only be un- I jast to the west to deprive her of a Canal Commission" I er, but it will unsettle the present arrangement, and we feel certain, no other can secure entire harn.ony in the party. If the west is deprived of a represen tative in the Board now, alien is she to have one?— Mr Fosters term will expire next year, and then we, maybe told, that he was the representative of the. Middle Di vis..and that hi, successor must be taken from the same section. Mr Hart:kora's term will expire 7 the year IttflOvring. and as a matter tif' coarse, the Division east of the Susquehanna will then be entitled to the candidate. I We have given this subject careful consideration, and can really see no good reason for changing the ex isting arrangement in the Canal Board, and depriv ing the west of a representation. It is said with much confidence, a b et one of the candidates east of the moult , taints will teceive the nomination; we cannot believe it; 1 ;7 we cannot believe that the delertes from eastern coon tiles will Cayce such a policy. Give the west the can didate now; she is entitled to it; next year select from the counties of the middle division; the year following front the eastern division; such a course will be just to all, and will secure perfect harmony in the Demo cratic party of the state. . BALTIMORE •liD OH to RAIL ReAD —ln another column our readers will find a my interesting article on the Rail Road question, copied from the Baltimore American; it is worthy of a very careful examination; wetrust it will be read, and the suggestions made. care fully noted and remembered. The Baltimore Amer -0.46 lean is well known to this community as a leading 11- ' 4 74l l land influential Whig journal, and the organ of the Bal. timore and Ohio B. Road Corn pony; we have every con. fidence that 42 suggestions, in despite of the efforts of the whig papers of this city, will have a proper influ ence with the whig portion of our citizens. The suggestion of the Baltimore A merican is a good out.; it nut only eminates from a friendly source, but from a paper that cannot be suspected of hosti lity to thetermination of the Rail Road at Pittsburgh. The Baltimore American says: "we name such gen tlemen as WILSON M'Cs smug or S. W. BLACK, as men able to show such good reasons to the Legisla. Lure fur what they solicited, that we cannot suppose the assent of that body would be longer withheld from a proposition so full of benefits to the interests of Pennsylvania." This is a well deserved compliment, and although Mr M'CANDLEss is not a candidate for the Legisla ture, his efforts, we are assured, will be omit ing, and his influence will not be lost. Mr BLACK, is a candi date on the Democratic ticket, and will, if elected, as I ..we have no doubt die will be, more than realize pub lic expectation; his esolessgues on the ticket are no less Capable m i tea l. 3u , s , tWe •wish our readers especi ally w note the fact that the Zaltimore itmenican, in aiming two influential Democrats as proper persona to send to Harrisburgh, to secute the passage of a Ball Road bill, tacitly admits the importance of elect ing men who can consistently harmonize with the majority; what will the editor of the Gazette say to this? What can he say? Matta FICIBBISAT.—We learn verbally, says the Hui lidaysbnrgh Standard, that the Mail between this place and Licking Creek was robbed on Wednesday last, a bout two o'clock, P. M.

BALTIMORE AND OHIO RAIL ROAD TO PITTSBURGH —The citizens of pittsburgh are givingintimntions of a decided movemerdtobe made at the next session of the Pennsylvania Legislature for the purpose of securing the right of way fur the Baltimore anp Ohio Rail Road to the Ohio at Pittsburgh. That enterprising city, starting with unexampled energy from her late disaster, is displaying an unconquerable spirit which must is the end bring success to her steady and determined efforts. "The all-nbsorl•ing question to Pittsburgh."snys the Gazette of that city."is the terminus of the Baltimore ' Railroad." It declares that there is no time tot loose. “Virginia is in a perfect fever on the subject at Nee ent,"continues the Gazette, "and we can scarroely doubt thatthe right of way will be given to theObio river at the next session of the Legislature. or at most the sues ceeding one." It represents to the Phindelphions, who have been active in,their efforts to defeat the right of way to Pittsburgh, that if the lowet route through Vir ginia is obtained, the interests both of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh will alike sutler; nor will it be possible to retrieve the injury by any continuous road from one city to the other. The true interests of Pittsburgh and Philndelphia, it adds, ore identical on this queston A Convention is proposed to be held sometimein Sep tember or Octtobet for the cor.ideration of this subject, sod it is sugested that it should not be confined to the %Vestern and southwestern counties 'of Pennsylvania, but that Philadelphia and the midland counties should also be invited to send delegates. We. can as.nre our Pittsburgh friends that we wa tch their movements on this important question with much interest and solicitude. They are such good neighbors that we very much desit e to draw them closer to us.— There eremany advantages which the rittshrirgh ter. miens presents. That route, in the first place, is short er than any other. It touches the 01110 at the head of navigation; and it will bring us into connection with the direct route to Lake Erie. These are considera• lions of great moment—all of them. The improve• ment of the navigation of the Ohio would indeed be an essential sequence to the tertnimdion of our road at Pittsburgh. yet, with all the influence. of the West brought to hear upon this point, sided by that of the central Middle States. there seems to be no mason., to doubt ofthe early scomplishment of that great national work.. It is a reproach to the country that so vital an avenue of internal communication as the 011ie should be allowed to lie next to useless for one third of the year. It is not our purpose at this time to enter into a comparison of the relative advantage of the lower Vir ginia and the Pitotimrgh routes respectively. The main purpose of our Railroad Company is to get to the Ohio; and they have solicited again and agnin the mere privilege of selecting such a route as might seem the most availablc. Yet this request, which, one would think, would be eagerly anticipatad'in v i e w of the benefits which would be conferred upon the region of the selected rrr ute has either denied absolutely. or the grunting of it has been Foloarled with emberrasing conditions as to he utterly nugatory. That region, however, which shows the most activity and earnest• ness in co-operating with us for the removal of the diffi culties which now obstructs the progress of the road, kill be the most likely to obtain the preference as to the location of the future terminus. We may t ike this occasion to venture the slaws. lion tccriat friends in Pittsburgh who appereiate so truly the importance of this subject, that it might be well for them to give to it, at once, the entire re -em inence which it deserves over all party or other ques tions which may now divide their community Let their most prominent and influential citizens, of both parties be put upon the legislative ticket for the ex• press purpose of devoting their undivided influence and efforts to the attainment of the object in view. While we are perfectly satisfied that the Whig por tion of the ticket would be well chosen, it will not he regarded es invidious. we trust, if in looking in this spirit towards the ranks of the opposite party, we name such gentlemen as Witwort WCzermi•ss nr SAINUSL BLACK; others of equal enterprise and energy might be named, who would be able to show such good ree• sons to the Legislature for whet they solicited, that we cannot suppose the assent of that body would be long er withheld from a proposition so full of benefits to the interests of Pennsylvania. We med.) allusion, some days ago, to the facilities which this road,if it were completed to Ohio; would furnish to the General Government in the transporta tion 0 f troops, stores, and munitions of war to the South. The Ship Hermann, which sailed from thil port for Matagorda, four or five days ago, with Major Rteoeet.n ' s Artillery on board. has probably not yet cleared the Capes of the Chesapeake---having been de tnined by heavy winds at the mouth of the POLGTEIC. If the inland route had been completed from Cumber land to the Ohio, the expedition might have reached New Orleans almost ns soon as the ship c,n which it is now embarked gets fairly to sea. it is of the first for that the Government should think of this. A Sum advanced in Government stock equal to the prin cipal of the annual interest paid for the transmission of the mnil from Baltimore to the Ohio, would ensure the finishing of the road immediately upon obtaining the right, of,wey from Perootylvrie, ov Virginia—a right which catirtot.be longir denied. /With the privilege of a free transmission of the trail, the Gov erntnent might: also stipulete , for the convelerFce of trooter and warlike stores on favourable teerneand with the utmost despatch. • From the N Y Evettittr, Post. - LETTER FROM %V C BRYANT I promised another letter concerning Scotland,bte I had not time to write it until the Irish Channel lay between me and the Scotti,h coast. 1. • When we reached Glasgow on the 18th oflctly, the streets were swarming with people. I enquited, the occasion, and was told that this was the vinuisalifeir.— The artisans were all out with theiriflninilies, °se great numbers ofcountry people were satraering about.— This fair was once, what its name imports, an annual market for the sale of merchandize; but it is new a mere holiday in which the principal sales, as it appear ed to me, were of gingerbread and whiskey I strol• led the next morning to the Green. a WitiOU4 open ground that strentches alcng the Clyde. One part of it was occupied with the booths and temporary thea tres and wagons of showmen, around and among which a vast throng was assembled, who seemed to delight in being deafened with the cries of the showmen and the music of their instruments. In one place a band was playing, in another a gong was thund,ring...and from one of the balconies a fellow in regal robes and a pasteboard crown, surrounded by several persona of! both sexes in tawdry stele dresses, who seemed to have just got out of bed and were yawning and rubbing their eyes, was vociferating to the crowd in praise of the entertainment which was shortly to be offered them, while not far off the stentor of a rival company, under flag which announced a new pantomine for a penny. ! was declaiming with equal vehemence. I made my' way with difficulty through thecrowd to the ancient at. called Salt Market. in which Scott places the habit a rion of Ilaillie Jarvie. It was obstructed with little !I malls, .where toys and other inconsiderable articles ' were sold. Here at the corner of one of the streets stands the old tower of the tolbooth where Rob Roy was confined, a solid piece of ancient architecture.-• the main building has been removed and modern hob oes supplies its place: the tower has been pierced be low for a thoroughfare, and its clock still reports the time cf day to the people of Glasgow. The crowd through which I passed had that squalid appearance which marks extreme poverty and uncertain means of, subsistence, and I was able to form some idea of the prodigeous number of this class in a populous city of Great Britaielike Glasgow. For populous sbe is,and; prosperous as p,city, increasing with a tepidity equatoe that of New Task, and already she numbers, it is test‘ mated, three hundred thousand inhabitants. Of these it isfeeidthat fisll ontitbirdeetriritaby bib* or born of Irishrrenta. The Nat day, width was Sunday, before going to cheieb,l walked towards the west part orthe city; here the streets are broad and the houset extremely well built of the same noble material as the new town of Edinburgh; and many of the houses have fine garden: their sites in many pieces overlook the pleas ant valley of the Clyde, and I could nut help acknow. ;edging that Glasgow was not withont claim to the ep ithet of beautiful, which I should had denied her if I had formed my judgment from the commercial streets only. The people of Glasgow alsb ha* ibovrtitheir good sense insrecting the statues which adorn limit public squares, only to men sho lave some just claim to distinction. Here are no statues, fee (temple. of the profligate Charles 11., or the sou:Whet. Duke of York, Or the silty Duke of Cambridge. as you wilt see in other cities, but' here the marble effigy of Waker Scott looks from. the lofty column in the principal square, and not far from it is the statue of Watt: while the statue erected to military men are to those who, like Wellington, have acquired a just renown. The treets were full of well dressed persons going to church. the women for the most part, I must say, far from beau tiful. I turned with the throng and followed it as far as St. Enoch's church, in Buchanan street, where heard a long discourse from a sensible preacher, Dr. Barr, a minister of the established church of Scot land. - _ In the afternoon I climbed one of, the steep streets to the north of my hotel, and found three places of wor ship, built with considerable attention to architectural effect, and fresh, es it seemed, from the hands of the mason. They all, as I was told, belonged to the Free Kirk, which has lately been rent from the establish ment, and threatens to leave it a mere shadow of a church, like the Episcopal church in Ireland 'Noth ing," said an intelligent Glasegow friend of mine, "can exceed the zeal of the friends of the free churrh. One of our Glassgow merchants has just given fifteen trun dled pounds towards the fund for providing manses or parsonages, fur the ministers of that church, and I know of several who have subscribed a thousand. In all the colleges of Scotland, the prufessors are obliged. by way of test, to declare their attachment to the Pres byterian church as by law established. Parliament ling just refused to dispensed with this test, and the frierals of the Free church ale determined to fund a college of their own. Twenty thou sand pounds had already been subscribed before the government refused to dispense with this test, and the project will now be supported with more zeal than ever." • I went into one of these free churches and listened toe sermon from Certain Lindsay a professor of some' new theological school. It was quite common place, though not so long as the Scotch ministers are in the habit of giving—for excessive brevity is by no means their besetting infirmity. At the close ofiheexercises he announced that a third service would take place in the evening. "The subject," continued he, "will be the thoughts and exercises of Jonah in the whale's belly. In returning to my hotel, I pasted by another new church, with an uncommonly beautiful steeple and e ' laborate carvings. I enquired its name, it wan the new St. John's and was another of the buildings of the free church. OnM outlay we made an escnesion to the Itirili piece of Burns. Tit t railway between Glasgow and Ayr took us through Paislia, worthy of note, as having produced an eminent ornithdlogist, Alexander Wilson; and close to the banks of Castle Sample Loch, full of Swan., a beautiful sheet of water, sleeping among green fields which shelve gentely to its edge. We passed by Ir vine where Burns tented the art of dressingflax, and tra versing a sandy track, close to the sea, were set down at Ayr, near the new bridge. Too reollect Burns' dio logr,e between the"auld hi ig" of Ayr end the new, in which the former predicted tha•. vain as her rival might be of her new and fresh appearance, the time would shindy come when she.would be as much delopidated as herself. The prediction is fulfilled; the bridge has begun to give way, and workmen are busy in repairing its arches. We followed a pleasant road, sometimes agreeably i shaded by trees, to Allow ay. As we went out of Ayr, we heard a great hammering and clicking of chissels, and looking to the right we saw workmen buikkag a., nother of the five churches, with considerable elabo rateness of architecture, in the early Norman style. The day Was very fine, the sun bright, and the sky a bove us perfectly clear; but as is generally the case in this country with an east wind, the ntmosphere was thick with a kind of thy haze which exclude distant objects from sight. The sea was to nor right. but we could not discern where it ended and the horizon be ' gab, and the mountains of the island of Arran andthe lone end lofty rock of Ailsa Craig, looked at first like faint shadows in the thick nit, and were soon eltogeth er in distinguishable. We ame at length to the little old painted kirk of Alloway, in the midst of a bury ing ground, roofless, but with gable ends stanoing.and its interior occupied by tombs. A solid upright mar ble slab, before the church, marks the place where William Burns, the lathe, of the poet, lies buried. A little distance beyond flows the Doon under the old bridge crossed by Tom O'Shanter on the night of his adventure with the witches. This little stream well deprives the epistle of "bon nie.' which Burns has given it. Its clear but dark current, ,flovvs rapidly between banks, often shaded with ashes, alders and other trees, and sometimes over hung by precipices of a reddish colored rock. A lit tle below the ridge it falls into the sea. but the title comes not up to embitter its waters. From the west bunk of the stream the land rises to hills of consider able height, with a healthy summit, and wooded scopes called Brown Carrick Hill. Two high cliffs near it impend over the sea, which are commonly called the Heads of Ayr, and nut far from these stand a fragment of an ancient castle. I have sometimes wondered that born os Dorn& was in the neighborhood of the sea, which I was told 14 often swelled into prodigious waves 'by the strong west winds which beat on this coast, he should yet havetaken little if any of his poet ic imagery from the ocean, either in its wilder or its gentler moods. But his occupations were among the fields, and his thoughts were of those who dwelt a mong them. and his imagination never wandered where his feelings went not. The monument erected to Burns, near the bridge, is an ostentatious thing, with a gilt tripod on its sum• mit. I was only interested to see some of the relics of Burns which it contains, among which is the Bible given by him to his Highland Mary. A road leads from I the monument along the stream among the trees to a mill, at a little distance above the bridge. where the water pet/grounder steep rocks, and I followed it.— • Thn wild rose and the woodbine wete in full bloom in the hedges, and these to me were a better memorial of Burns than any thing which the chisel could exe cute. A barefoot lassie came down the grassy bank among the trees, with a pawl. and after washing her I feet in the swift current, filled the pail and bore it again over the bank. Dunurt, July 24, 1845. We saw many visiters sauntering shout the bridge or enteriug the monument; many of them seemed to he country people, ruing men with their sisters and sweethearts, and others in white cravats with a cer tain sleekness of appenrence I t. nk to be of the pro feasion of divinity. At the inn beside the yew!, a young woman with a face and head so round as almost to form a perfect globe, gave us en ezccellent dish of strawberries and cream, and we set off for the house in which Burns was born. It is a clay built cottage of the humblest cleat and now serves, with the addition of two new rooms of better architecture, for an No house. Mrs Heastings, the landlady, showed us the register, in which we re marked thnt a very great number ofthe visitors had ta ken the pains to write themselves down as shoemakers. Major Burns, one of toe sync of the poet, lately visited the place with hie two daughters and a younger brother, and they too bad idseribed their names in the book. We returned to Ayr by a different road from that by which we went to Alloway. The bardakers were at work in the field, and the vegetation was every where in its highest luxuriance. You may smile at the idea, but I affirm that a potatoe field in Great Britain, at this season. is a prettier sight than • vineyard in Ita ly. In this climate. the plant throws out an abundance of blossoms, pink and %bite, and just now the pa tatne fields are as fine as so many flower gardens. We crossed the old bridge of Ayr, which is yet in good preservation. though carriages are not allowed topes!' over it. Looking up the stream, we saw sof ' itary slopes and groves on its left bank, and I fanci ed that I had in my eye the sequestered spot on the banks of the Ayr, whereHerne,and his Higland Mary had the matting which he describes in his let ters, and parted to meet no more.
