At the same time the i State vvoulu have been relieved froiu the j great cost of keeping up ibis most expeii : stvc and unprofitable portion of her public I works. The Columbia road, the Delaware j Division, aud the North Hi aiieh, cacti pav ; soiiietiiiiig: but this niaiu line from Uoluiu j bia west, so iar icom laying anything, ab ; sorbs anuuaily from one haudrcd thousand to three hundred thousand dollars over and above all receipts. This can be dernoii struieu by the official reports for many years past: and yet the present legislature I ns re tused to make the proposed lease, atid thus get rid of this enormous expense to the tax payers of toe State. The canal commis sioners exerted themselves to defeat the bili uuthotizmg the lease, and by invoking | party prejudices they succeeded, and the | biil was defeated in the House by some ! three or four majority. Besides the usual items in the approprta • f'f" bill, there are- some items decidedly i new and unusual. Among the latter is otic i creating a new office on tiie public works, eaiied a .State Engineer, to be appointed jby the canal commissioners. a t tt „ annual 1 salary of three thousand dollars pcraunum. ! It bad hitherto beec supposed that our pub ■ lie works were overstocked with officials, whose pay consumed the re venues,and who-0 rascality was a reproach to the Kiate .hits economical democratic legislator ■ ver, has discovered that a new and higii ried officer is wanted in addition to all ottiers, 1 and tuey have therefore very kindly snp | plied the omission, and appropriated ttie ijdUUt. l to pay him annually, for an nidufi ! nitc series of years. Another new fealure m this bill coirei. ts in the fact that it increases the annual sata ! riesof the judges of the Supreme Court : eight hundred dollars each; and the annual i salaries of all the President Judges of the ! State four hundred dollars each. It i hoped the taxpayers of tne Stat ■ will he able to appreciate the liberality of tbis ecouomi cal and democratic legislature, and that tuey will especially remember them about i the second 1 uesday of October next. The 1 .-.alary of the Chief .justice of the .Supreme Court is now three thousand tiro hundred dollars per annual ,besides three dollars per ' ' I, "J tor every day spent ill the discharge of . !.is official duties. Ihe salaries of the President Judges out of the cities of i'ldl adciphia and Pittsburg, are by this bill raised tip to fu'o thousand dollars jar an nual, besides milage, aim five dollars per day when holding special court.-: and in tue cities named the annual salaries arc raised to twcihj-Jivc hundred dollars. For want or room 1 will give you no more ilgin i from this beautiful bnl fur the present, but will drop the subject, with the remark that I by putting these handsome particulars in the appropriation bili. the Governor lias been previ uted from vetoing them, because ; a veto of this bill would put a dead lock ou the whole machinery of government,aud in juto the credit ot tbe Mt^ K u a,most us Lad as repudiation.

We do not go to contend for a piece of land, not to acquire ephemeral powers, not to follow Hp miserable conquest, nor. much less, for sacrilegious purposes.

God will give us victory, and win that the peace, concord, libei tv and union of the great Central American family. J CAN P. MORA. >Sa:i Juan, March 1. WALKER'S ITUKILAMATH>N. Ou the lib of March, Gen. Walker is sued the following proclamation in answer to the above: To the people of Central .im'-riea luvi.ed to Nicaragua by the Democratic party ot the Republic, the American force under my command has steadily struggled to carry out the principles for which the Revolution of 1841 was undertaken, la order, however, lo consolidate a general peace, we were willing to bury past differ ences ami endeavor to amalgamate the two parties into otic. For this purpose wd>bav ( , since the treaty of October last, held in check our old friends Urn Democrats, and Lave attempted to conciliate tho men for merly attached to the Government of Es trada. M ith the same view, the Provisional Gov ernment of Nicaragua, although differing in deas aud piinciples from the Governments uf tlie other btatcs ot Central Ame**iea at— I tempted to establish frank and friendly re lations with the neighboring Republics. Our overtures of peace have been rejected. Our propositions of friendship have nut on ly been disregarded, but treated with scorn, ami uisdain. Contempt and contumely have been returned for the amicable messa ges we sent to the other Governments.— Ihe only reason given for niioh conduct is the presence of Amerieau forces in the State of Nicaragua. The legitimist Party of Nicaragua has re pulsed our ...Torts at conciliation. They have maintained communication with ttieir ii'ilow scrviles in other Stales They have, by all mcios in tie ir power, attempted to weaken die present Provisional Government, and have given aid atiu encouragement to the eucrni s of Nicaragua outside of the re- ' public. In this condition of affaire, nofning isleft ; for the Americans in Nicaragua but hostili ty to the servitcs throughout Central Auic>- , iea. A very large proportion of the so cal led Legitimists of this State arc either open ior secret enemies to our prcseuoc <> this soil. They owe us for the protection they have had for their lives and property; they have paid us wit h ingratitude and treachery. Against the servile parties and servile Governments in Central A titer iea, tho Amer icans in Nicaragua arc bound by the com mon law of .self protection, to eternal eumi iy. Our proffered friendship has been re jected. We can only make them feel that our enmity may be us dangerous and de structive as our friendship is faithful and true. The Troops of the Army of the Republic will assume and wear the Red Ribbon. By command of WILLIAM WALKER, General Commatiding-in-Chief. Ph. K. Thompson, Adjutant General Ni ! oaragnao Army. The above was issued immediately after i the return of Col. Sclile.ssingor and Capt. •Sutter front their unsuccessful mission to ' Costa lliea. The same evening, on parade, ! the red badge was issued to each man in :I • . the garrison, which was the occasion of boisterous demonstrations on the part of many, who, tired of (lie monotony of camp life in peace, sigh for the ever changing ; campaign life in the tented field. On the 12th there was a false alarm of an attack on the garrison at Granadt,und ontlieeven j ing of the same day three persons were ar • rested, charged with being traitors to the government. (hi lite 1 'lth of March, Walker proceed ed to La \ eigin, and on the 14th his forces were expected to advance. Übnldo Uarrcra published a card at Granada, March 13th, declaring his adhe sion to the democratic party, and his deter mination to co-operate with General Wal ker. The commission constituted by the de cree of the provisional government for the pttrposc of arranging the affairs of the Ac cessory Transit Company, commenced its session in Virgin Ray, and it i- stated would continue its session until a full settlement is effected. LETTER FROM A SON OF HENRY CLAY. Thomas 11. Clay, Esq., who was a Rele gate to the American Notional Convention, has addressed a letter to the Councils of the Eighth Congressional District of Kentucky, giving tbeui an account <>f the proceedings of the Convention. As out readers are already acquainted with all that transpired in the Convention, we omit the greater part of Mr. ("lay's letter, copying only the closing paragraphs, in which he speaks of the eandblates, and expresses hi> opinion as to the course his illustrious fa ther would pursue in the present crisis if he were now living: "Mr. Fillmore's best eulogy is to be found in tho successful and prosperous ad ministration of the General Government in the two and a half years immediately suc ceeding tho death of Gon. Taylor. That Administration had my father's unqualified approval. T have frequently been asked, what, in my opinion, would have been my father's course in regard to the American party had ite lived? 1 answer unhesitatingly: he was national and conservative, and I have no more doubt but that he would have stood on this platform than I have of my own ex istence. One word as to our candidate for the Vice Presidency. I have known him for more than thirty years, and 1 believe hint to be an honorable patriotic gentleman. It. was our wish, in obedience to instruc tions, t.a have postponed the nominations until June: but the majority of the Con- j vent ion wore averse to such postponement* Brothers of the American l'artv !

With great respect, I ant your ob't servant, THOMAS 11. CLAY. I AN n VI.ISM.— Some eighty years ago, Gincrul Washington, in company with Col. i Cunningham, visited the Passaic Falls, at P.iterson, N, J., and while there carved ' their unmet* < n a rock, which has since been known as "Initial llock."
