Candidates for Canal Commi*sioner.
The following is a list of gentlemen whose name,
to far as, we have been able to ascertain willbe sob

Thursday, the 4th of September next.

AD far, extielleat men, tine Democrats, and Nell
quilified for the office. 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

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

majority; what will the editor of the Gazette say to
this? What can he say?

THE. 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. •

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.
