Mr. Charles Whitney, mom thf United States,

culiurities and eccentricities of America's principal
orators. His lectures have been attended by ma
ny distinguished members a Parliament, and the
nobility and gentry.. Ir. Whitney sent a card of
invitation for the Duke of Wellington to attend his
lectures. The Duke immediately Fgint the follow
ing reply: ,
" Field Marshal, Duke of Weilinton, presents
his compliments to Mr.-Charles Wl itnev , and deep
ly regrets his inability to be present at his imper

The Duke is an old man, and is*rbligcd to deny
himself the amusements of the toitn..,,.ile will be
happy to create an interest with her majesty, that
Mr. Whitney's peculiar entertainments relay receive
the royal apprOntion: •

that the Duke received him 'M it very cordial man

gave specimens of the oratorical style of 'Webster,

Duke waw highly gratified. The probability 14 that
Mr. Whitney will receive a "command" from the
Queen to deliver a lecture before her and the Court

At an ea s rly stage of the disturbances; the Gover—
nor was applied to for a military force, which 'he
deemed it best to withhold at that time, ditecting
our Sheriff to raise 'a 'sufficient posse comitatus,.
As long 'us the boatinen did not seem disposed to ,
do any' other damage than to sttspetul operation.%
on the canal, it was not the with of any' one to ,use
military force. But 'when s writs were sued out to
recover, possession of certain boats, offenders Screen
ed 'from apprehension, a file.takeu, and the laws set
at iiought by resistidg and foiling the Sheriffizt_his..
etkrts to perform his duty, it was found necessary'
to calf out a force sufficiently strong to remove the
evil and restore order. This the Sheriff succeeded
in- accomplishing on Monday last, by marching over
with la Strong posse and two military companies un
der Capt. Yohe and Capt. Horn.
The military and UrvilforCe arrived at the'out
let lock of the 3.lath Chunk Canal, at about 10
o'clock.' At this point the principal blockade of the '
public highway existed.' The boats, not qtrly closed
the entrance of the canal, but formed a bridge
across the Lehigh to Easton. Thousang.of citiiens
of bcith sexes, occupied the hills on both sides of the
river, anxiously watching the course of events—fil
led with fearful anticipationS that the boatnien
wtnild resist, and,sonie lives be sacrificed. But no
oppositten - Was offered—the'. military remained
drawn Up in'a line oW, the tow-path,-white the Sher
iff and his, posse took possession of the boats, land
cleared the passage up the canal. Several persons
were found in the boats, against whom the Sheriff•
had wairants,' who were arrested. Sonia fire arms
found hi cabins were-also-taken possession of.
Having cleared the obstructions at this'poinkthe
Sheriff with part of his posse and Capt. Horn's
Company , proceeded up tie_ canal
.as far as Free
retiwned the evening,•litiv•Mg'ef
fectually accouiplished his purpose without oppo
sition from any quarter. During the day seven or
eight persons Were taken and :confined, on charges
! of canon.; kinds, committed since the " Strike" corn
; rnenced.' making the entire number, now; in prison
twentvLutine.
.
The nnviga6on is now unobstructed, and we hope
it may donutte so—the evils which have grown
out d. this " strike," are ninny and will be fet for
some thac to come. The boatmen have fe doubt
learned by _this time that nothing is gained by CQ
ercive Measures and resistance to the authority of
the law, and since their "encampment" is broken
up, those who have loplecl boats will proceed, and
deliver their Cargoes,land those whos* Boats are
empty, to rettirn them to where they procured
them, and there is no doubt the several campanies
in whdsel employ they are, will flgTee with them
sprite rate of fte4t which Tpli be satisfactory
to all concerned. We will give some further State:

Fulty anti Fraud of LmirocoWn. -
The 'Washington Union, which is now the offi
cial organ of " the United Democracy"—that is, of
the Abolition wing of the North the pro-slave
ry wing of the South—still. pursues the i'unis fir

imaginatiim, and day by day, regales its readers
with n , nqw treatise, on the sufferings of its ejected 1
sub cribers, atia patrons The change of adminis

After exbaustingingenuity in attempting to per
ve'rt the spirit of Gen. Taylor's inatt , ..fural adrires...-s,
and rerklessly ,clinrgig him with falsifying his
plpdge.t, they krive now adopted a new expedient,
and allege that, in addition to the penalty of renio
val, the Administtration lies inflicted a stigma upon .
the character of the distnissedincumbents by impli

of Thursday, holds this language:
" it_says--and its :words are echoed and re-och
oedhy its parwfites. and minions—that cecry re
