?fot Caesar's weal, but that of Home." THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1815. fjT" We were unable lo issue paper last week owing to our failing to receive a supply of paper, which had been ordered of the manufacturers and which we supposed on the wav. Such accidents will happen, and especially when the river is low and boats are grounding on every bar. Our advertisements have crowded us this week, but we hope at the cloee of the present volume to be able to enlarge our sheet and give our patrons a larger amount cf reading matter. To clear our galleys we have published con siderable miscellaneous matter which has been standing tor some time, and which, may apper a little ancient, but it was the easiest way to get rid of it; and now having explained all these .matters, let's say no more about them. We publish in another column the pro ceedings of the Canal Meeting held in our Court House last week. Similar meetings we hope will be held in other counties most interested in the work, and such expression, of opinion given as will insure har.nony of action. We believe there is no opposition in any part of the State to the work being completed, but as to the means to be resorted to to finish it there is much diversity of opinion. There" are several plans proposed, and the one that seems to find most favor here is set out in the third resolution, .to which we call the attention of the public. Thanksgiving Governor WLitco.-nb has appointed the 27th of the present month, a day of of thanksgiving throughout the S:ate. We will cheerfully return our thanks To any patron wi nean a paving patron, from uoue other will weateept who will-furnish usa good fat turkey for the occasion . Don't all send at ,once. 1 FIRE ENGINE. We congratulate our cittzeus on having the means now of extinguishing fires when they again occur in oar piece. One of the Engines contracted for by our Board of Trustees with Messrs. Coi.un&ridge, Liwsun Si tu., of Louisville, Ky ., has been received and fully tested to the satisfaction of all. Tho Engine is .called the Neptl'se, No. I. 'and is indeed a beautiful asd substantial piece o! workmanship. Messrs. C, L. &. Co, in the building of this engiue, have done much to remove the prejudice which has gf long existed in the. West against Western manufactures. Heretofore it has been the practice to spply to. the East xvheaever aay thing .of this sort was wanted, under the belief that no Mechanic this side of Philadelphia or New York could execute so difficult a piece of work; but we can assute all who may want such an artie'e, that they need not travel farther than Louisville for it. exceeded their contract wiui our board ot 1 rusteee,in the building of this machine, both as to beauty of finish and power of execution. With reven inches chamber and nine inches Biroke, she threw water 185 feet supplying herself through a suction hose 15 feet in length their contract called foi 175 feet; she fHso threw wa- ' ter through 400 feet of hose ten feet higher than .the cross on the Catholic.Church, the he ih th of which we are not informed, tiut it is the highest building to the comb of the roof in the place. This we think should salisfy all, that these gentlemen are fully $otnpea!U to perform what , thry promise, and should seeure them, as they certainly deserve, the encouragenieut and sup port of the community. The other engine will be here by Christmas, and we are assured by Mr. Cofiingridge, will exceed the Neptune in several particulars. Their cost is 3jO CO each . .We learn from the State Sentinel that the first number of the,"Indiana Democrat" published at ndianapolis, and edited by F. A. Morrison, Esq., has been issued. It ig sp.ph.en off by those who have seen it as an exceedingly well got up sheet. We hope Mr. Morrison will place am on his exchange list and forward us his first number. 07" We must insist on those owing us paying up RIGHT off. We want money, so do those to whom wo owe trifling amounts. There is no excuse for anyone being in debt to us. The farm ers are receiving good prices for their produce, and receiving it in cash. The mechanics are getting fair wages the merchants sell their oods for fair prices-an J ail seem to be fluriehing, and if we hadj what is due us we eould flurish. Those indebted to us will therefore please stop up and folk over. Don't delay but come at once wiihout more coaxing. A bald Eagle flew on board the U. S. ship John Adams at sea, much fatigued.

The British authorities replied in substance 'Our profits on the opium trade amount to 2,500,000 annually. - We cannot relinquish it for less than that sum.' - The Emperor couldn't afford to pay hz additional million,, and his subjects are -uow reaping the ftuits." -. .

Correspondence of the Baltimore Patriot Washington, Oct. 20, 1845. A curious state of tilings prevail about the transfer of Mr Buchanan to the Supreme j Court. That gentleman's friends in Pennsylvania are, for the most part, warmly opposed to the step. One of his friends in office in this city, told me, yesterday, in the most earnest ;euns, that Mr. Buchanan would disgrace himself, after all that lias been said and done, to voluntarily leave the State Department and take the judgeship; and furlh er, said he, the act would exclude him from' being the candidate of our party for tho next Presidency! I understand, from friends of Mr. Buchan-' an, that he has said that he never would have withdrawn from the. Presidential race if he had not been forced to do so! and thai lie lias ever since regretted tlie step! The llarrisburg Union, one of Mr. Buchanan's Pennsylvania organs, insists upon it that its o-feat favorite shall not condescend to give up the State Department lor a pension, like the salary of the judgeship, of 4,500 a year1. It lets its Parthian arrows fly at Mr. A. Stevenson and Mr. J. Y. Mason, in great style, as two "ardent" Virginians (although it names them not) who are ambitious to ob

tain Mr. B. s present exalted place. And it seems to understand perfectly certain wirepulling operations by which a late numberof the Richmond Euquiter was made to puif Mr Buchanan immoderately as a marvellous pioper man for a seat on the bench of the Supreme Court. The llarrisburg organ snaps its finger in the direction of Washington and laughs at the shallow manoeuvre! The solution of all this is. Mr. Buchanan is to be prevailed upon by Ifis friends to remain longer in the Cabinet. If Mr. Polk wishes to get rid of h'yn he must assume the responsi bility ot giving nun 1ns walking-papers directly. An indirect tender of them will not be understood. Mr. B.'s friends advise him not to interpret as readily as did Mr. Calhoun, who was politely oiJ'ered the English Mission! They think, moreover, that Mr. Polk will not dare to turn Mr. B. out ol O'iice, because it might endanger his own chance of a nomination for re-election, while it would place the discarded Secretary ''in the line of safe precedents:1" the very place of all others which Mr. Polk wants neither Mr. Buchanan, nor Mr. Calhoun, nor Gov. Cass, nor Gov. Wright, nor anybody else, save his own choice self, to occupy. A long time ago I wrote to you that Mr. Polk would make everything litml to effect his own nomination for re-election, notwith standing his own or organ s solemn disclaimers. " And now I perceive various journals in different sections of the country have came to the same conclusion! Thus far it is said, ho has feared Mr. Cal houn and Gov. Cass. Hence the celerity with which the friends of the former who would not yield their preference for the splendid Carolinian, have been hurled from office in the Custom-houses of New Orleans Mobile, Philadelphia, New York, Boston. &, Portsmouth! And "hence, loo, the turning' duced by oflice to follow in the wake bfNorvell, United States district attorney fur Michigan, and Bagg, postmasters at Detroit, and quarrel with the Governor! One of the Cass men an ex-editor of some note, and strongly "recommended by the Governor as efiicieut, upright, and deserving, has been in this ciiy lor some months, as applicant for a respectable consulship or other office. But he is a frank man, true to his friends. lie honestly prefers , Lewis Cass for the next President. The Polk Administration is sorry to say that nothing can be done for him! And so they go. " l am credibly infoimed that an ex-member of Congress a warm and confidential friend of Silas Wright," has been in this city within the last few days and set the President and the Cabinet and the official editor all, all into a most frightful state of alarm! by warning them plainly and aulhorilaiively, that, if they caused the repeal of the present tariff, or even harmed hair or hide of it, they would be visited with the determined opposition of Gov. Wright and his northern friends! The gentleman who gives me this intelligence is a prominent Locofoco of highsta ldiii"and character, and is on intimate terms of political social fi iendship with members of the Cabinet! lie assures me that the information is true. The leading editorial in the organ of last evening, in relation to the course of Mr. Wright and Mr. Buchanan in voting for the present Tariff,' ami the awakening which the editor confess has overtaken him on the subject, goes to confirm my informant's statement. POTOMAC Correspondence of the Baltimore Patriot. Washington, Oct., 31, 1S45. Quite a fare-up in high functionary life oc curred the other day, in this city, which has not as yet been lully chronicled, for a wonrlet! I have the facts in the case from a high officer of the Government. in the ofHciul organ, a week since, appeared a letter fiom a London correspondent of the editor, in which the writer animadverted in strong terms upon the- private character and habus of the present King of Prussia, representing that Monarch to be grossly be. sotted, Sbc. In relation to his London corrcspondent,the editor of the organ piped forth the following strain: "We hazard nothing in saying thai no abler letters come from abroad." Well, no sooner had the attack upon the habits of the Prussian King, an d the .endorsement of the author of the attack, by tho editor of the organ, met the eye ol Baron Geron Gerolt, the Minister from Prussia, then that gentleman, with newspaper in hand, started forthwith for the State Department to have a special inter view with the American Premier. He called Mr, Buchanan's attention to the abusive and libelous article; told him that the paper in which it appeared was the accreditaed &z, acknowledged organ and mouth-piece of the Executive; that it echoed the sentiments of the President of the United Slates; that lhis statement in relation to tlie sovereign was grossly false; and, finally, it must be retracted, or an apology made for its publication in the Governments official organ, or he must have his passport and leave the country. Mr. Buchanan was of course amazed and

confused! His courtesy, however, did not forsake l.im. He made the amende honorable verv handsomely, so far as he was con

cerned, and assured tho" prompt and - sensitive Baton that he would forthwith see the official editor, and have the matter propeily atoned for. The official editor was seen and great was his trepidation! The scene is repressed to have been charming in the liveliest degree! Excuses, explanations, and Apologies " were manufactured faster thau coarse cottons, under the cheating rninimums, are spun at Lowell! After which an apology was concocted, and then hurrying to and fro of the official edilor, to show said apology to the President and lleads.of Depaitineiil in order to ascertain whether they would consent to its pnbiication.ond whetherlhey consti tuted "an unit" in regard to it, is described to have" been unique and inimitable! Finally, the consent of all consulted was obtained, and ' the apology was published, as follows; "Last evening's Union contained a letter from a London correspondent which made some remarks upon the private habits of the King of Prussia. They were not in good taste; and Uie) are more objectionable, because they are untrue. We feel ourselves at full liberty to give our opinions freely upon the institutions of Europe; but it'is to be regretted, that our foreign correspondent should have touched a topic of this description for which we understandMob there is no foundation. We have it from the best authority from one "who is well acquainted with thehabits of the King of Prussia that they are grossly misrepresented by the letter in question. We must add, that thi3 misrepresentation gives us the more regret, be cause, of the great respect and the kind feelings which we entertain, from a personal acquaintance with him, of the able and accomplished minister, Baron Gerolt, who represents the Court of Prussia at Washington." ' This litile circumstance shows one of ihe inconveniences which must accrue to Mr. Polk fiom having an acknowledged official organ. If the editor for-one moment neglects to exhibit to the Executive the articles proposed for his paper, and thereby happen to admit any thing that does not suit the Executive palate, wliy an apology is directed to be made at once! There is but one alternative for the abject, dependent editor dis?nissal without pay or pension!. In view ofthis state of things, and the im portant fact-for the first time in the history of the Government, the Administration- has now established an avowed oigan, may jl not be well for the Whigs elected to the next Congress, who will hold the balance of power, unquestionably, in both houses, on the subject of ihe priming, to gravely take into consideration tlie course which, under the circumstances, they, otight to pursue?: 1 think I. will have something to say upon this subject in a future letter. . - . Long ago I predicted the promotion of the Hon. William J. Brown, and more recently I gave you a rumor that T. Hartely Crawford would be transferred from the Indian bureau tih1'I'i?lVire1t?r tft'sfe'rrrfgytriWft1- uCirr i!urW i sumtnated. , : " 1 Some of the keen-eyed Locofocos who are dissatisfied and grumbling all the time at what Mr. Polk is doi.'g and they are not few in number by any means openly declare that Col.'" William Medill snd the lion William J.Brown did not make their recent pilgrimages to Ohio and Indiana for nothing ! At all events, they say, these gentlemen have been re warded, for something, very soon after their return, and therefore they, ihe aforesaid Locofoco grumblers, will see, after Congress assembles, how many votes the organ will get in the delegations from Ohio and Indiana for publ'c printer! I observe that some of the Buchanan Locofoco papers in Pennsylvania are still deprecating and denouncing the movement, of the Organ Co., to get Mr. Buchanan out of the Cabinet. Their efforts to keep Mr. Buchanan in the Cabinet, I imagine, will be vain ! Judgeship or no Judgeship, that gentlemail will be obliged to leave the Cabinet, if what the organ lore-sh.'dows proves true, to wit: that Mr. Polk will in his forthcoming message reccomniended Congress to break down the Tariri! Did not Mr. Buchanan go before the peo ple ol reunsylvama, last vcar, and declared tiiat Mr. Polk was as much the friend of their peculiar interests, and as good a Tariff rnaa, as Mr. Clay? The fact thai he did this is universally known. If, then, Mr. Polk now recommends the destruction of, the Tariff, how can Mr. Buchanan remain in the Cabinet wiihout stultifying himself, utterly and totally! He cannot. Common sense forbids the idea. ' No doubt Mr. Polk would be willing to have Mr. Buchanan remain aye, glad to have him hold on, and thus destroy himself and render utterly abortive all his present claims to the Presidential nomination iu ISIS! JMr. Polk would thus get rid of one rival. No doubt the ambicious and keensighted Mr. Walker would be quite willing for Mr. Buchanan to remain where he is, for precisely the same reason! the organ may in truth say that Mr. Polk and Mr. Walker do not wish to get rid of Mr. B. No, no, Mr. Buchanan will not, cannot, remain in the Cabinet, a friend to the taritl, and a representative of "the Tariff people and interests of Pennsylvania, while the President and the majority of his Cabinet Ministers are openly recommending the overthrow and destruction of that Tariff! This alone will drive Mr. Buchanan from the Cabinet! Oilier reasons, also, will aid in effecting his withdrawal. ..He is occasionally obliged to confess to his friends that he can do nolhin" for them in the way of Consular appoint" menis, which belong to his Department, and to tell them that they must go to the President, while Mr. Polk, when papers are handed to him, in relation to removals or appointments which pertain to the Treasury Depaitment as they were by Mr. Donephan, editor of the Natchez Free Trader, some lime since, in relation to the case of Mr. Bronaugh without even opening the papers refers them and the bearer to Mr. Wulker as the gentleman having sole control over the maiter!The Oregon question, too, is not in a condition to please the present Secretary of State. lie is for arbitration, or at all events for a peaceful settlement of the boundary line

between the this country and Great Britain, while Mr. Polk, who , somewhat doggedly loves to hold on to a position once assumed, it is understood, will repeat to Congress, the declaration in his Inaugural, that "our tide to Oregon is clear and unquestionable" which declaration Mr. Buchanan, no doubt, thinks will cause England io send out a fleet and take possession and fortify such portion of Oiegon territory as she claims! . , In this connexion, 1 may.intorm you that an officer of the Navy has recently received a letter from Mr. McLane, our Minister at London, iu which the writer predicts'lhat the officer will have something to do'before long! H is inferted from this that JMr. McLane, occupying a position to know pretty distinctly what each of the two countries will, and will not, do in relation to a settlement of the Oregon question, apprehends a resort to arms. POTOMAC.

INGERSOLL'S HISTOPvY OF THE LATE WAR. Mr. Charles Jared Ingersoll, a native born citizen of Pennsylvania, is the man who holds the opinion Hhat if he had been old enough to have taken part in the Revolution, he would have been a Tory?'' And he is the man, who, holding this opinion no doubt honestly, did not hesitate to avow it, when charged with it; and, with a frankuess in which .hardihood and self-satisfaction were principal ingredients, - added that lie should never regret that opinion. We believe he has never disavowed or retracted it. The . Albany Evening Journal well says . .."..,.-.'", "Whatever may be said of him and his course in other respects, his whole life has been consistent with that declaration. ' His maturity has fully vindicated his youthful predilections. It he was not old enough to oppose the establishment of Republican In stitutions, he may console himself with the reflec'ion of having contributed largely to their desecration.' But an ordinary man might have found his gratification in descrating the institutions, wiihout libelling the " men, of the Republic. Mr. Ingersoll Is not one so to-be gratified. He has recently written what he calls a "History of the Late War with England," in which the men who took part in the events of that time, and who are now alive, are greatly bepraised, even thouglr they be in politics never so much opposed to the author of the praise. He did not venture to slander the living, but he could not forbear traducing the dead. On page 190 of his work he thus speaks of General Harrison Thus closed the military career of William Heniy Harrison: who afterwards served as a member ol both Houses of Congress, on a foreign mission to Colombia, in South Amer ica, which he solicited, was elevated from theclerkshin of a court in Cincinnati to the presidency, and after one short mouth of treacherous triumph in mat ojice, cro'rned his good fortune bn premature death in- the presidential mansion. The house was throng ed with people, even the chamber in which he. died, not free from idle intrusion. He

to which his administration was inevitably destined, leaving lne world with most men of all parlies inclined to think well of his character, to maouify his virtues, regret his foibles, regret his Sde tth, and celebrate his memory. ' This is the true FalslafT courage an inferior animal kicking a dead lion. But the man who is slandered will not find his peaceful rest in the grave distui bed by th:s outpouring of malignity, and -the people of the Uttjted States, who bowed down iheir heads and acknowledged that the taking away of Gen. Harrison, even at the threshold of his presidential career, was a national afiTclion they will not be slow 'to conclude, thai what in him excited Mr. Ingerfoli's ire, was his virtues which Mr. I. could not eveu affect, and a pairiotism which he had never ceased to hale, from the day when he declared .himself a lory. The Albany Evening Journal, therefore, well concludes that little confidence will be placed in a woik ostensibly written to comtnemoratethe events of a war that occurred moie than thirty years ago, but which thus reaches forward to assail and calumniate, with all the rancor and malignity of a partizan, the character and memory of t hat beloved Soldier, Statesman and Patriot, William Henry Harrison. Singular Phenomenon Thunder in the Copper Mountains. It is a singular fact, that in the neigborhood of the Lake Superior copper mines, in the Porcupine mountains, from a hill six miles from La Pointe, comes a sound like repeated discharges of artillery, which on clear days is heard distinctly. The agent of the American Fur company once imagined the noise to proceed from a schooner belonging to the Company in distress, and sent a boat lo the rescue. The Porcupine mountains are fifty miles from La Pointe. -It is supposed there must be zinc and other metals incorpDiated in the copperand closed up in the mountains, which give out the sounds. The Indians have a tradition that this soundv with which they are familiar, is the angry voice of the Great Spirit, enraged i hat ihe voppcr should be' disturbed; and for this reason, although familiar with the location of rich beds, they refuse to reveal this knowledge. - What might be done with the money wasted in War Give me, says Stebbiiis, the money that has been spent, iu war, and I will clothe every man, woman and child in at lire that kings and queens would be ptoud of. I will build a school house upon every hill side, and in every valley over the habitable earth I will supply that house wiiii a competent teacher 1 will build an academy in every town, and endow it a college in every State, and fill it with able professors i 1 1 i -i i . i i i wiucrowti every nut wim a cnurcii conse crated to the promulgation of the gospel of pece 1 will support in its pulpit an able teacher of righteousness, so that on every Sabbath- morning the chime on one hill shall answer to the chime on another around the earth's broad circumference and the voice ol prayer, &- the song of praise-sho'd ascend like an universal nolocaust to Heaven.

II. Stockwell, Scty. OREGON. Sl tverv has been abolished in Oregon. P H. Burnet, a citizen of that territory, in a letter in the last Platte Argus says: 'The Legislature have passed an act de claring that slavery shall not exist in Oregon and the owners of slaves, who biinir them here, are allowed two ye yrs to take them out of the country, and indelault the slaves are to be free. The act prohioits bee negroes or mulattoes from settling or .remaining in this country and requires them lo leave in two years; and in default to be hired out lo the lowest bidder, who will bind himself to. re move them from the country for the shortest term of service, and within six months after the expiration thereof. The object is to keep clear of this most troublesome class of population. A very considerable n;un'cr of slaves accompanied the last expedition to Oregon. THE TERM "WHIG"WHAT IT MEANS. We are well reminded by a Southern paper, says the National Intelligencer, that before Mr. Calhoun allied himself - with the p arty now ascendant in the Government, he seemed to be greatly charmed with tho appropriateness of the term Whig. So. strong indeed were the impressions nmde upon his mind by the abuses of power, by the then leaders of "tlie Democracy," thai he even sanctioned the use of the Revolutionary name ol Tory. An extract from his remarks on the subject, made in the Senate in 1S33, may serve to remind some of his present followers of what he then thought of them. He ihensaid: "I cannot but remark that the revival of the party names"of thcRcvoluiion, after they had so long slumbered, is not without meaning noi without an indication of a leturnto those principles which lie at the foundation of our .liberty. "Gentlemen ought to refect that the extensive, and sudden revival of these names (Whig and Tory) could not be without some adequate cause. Names are not to be taken or given at pleasure ; there must be something to cause their application td adhere. If I remember rigliliy, it was xVugustus, in all the plentitude of his power, who said that he found il impossible lo introduce anew word. What, then, is thai something? What is the meaning of Whig and Tory, and what in the character of the times which has caused their sudden revival, as party distinctions, at this time? It is my opinion llialihe very essence of Tor)ism that which constitutes a Tory;

is to sustain prerogative again st privilege; to support the Executive against the Legislative department ofthe Government, and to lean to the side of power against, the side of liberty ; while the Whigs are in all these par-

ll(.UIJ3 Ul l"o VCljr (JJJU3IIC II UIOIJMC3. v These are the leading characteristics ofthe respective parties. Whig and .Tory, and run through their application in all the variety of circumstances in which they have been applied, either in this country or Great Brittain.'''' . . rntTtMf; a papft? TTnr .w iti National Intelligence published by Messrs. Galea &. Saiton, at Washington City, one of ihe most valuable and able conducted papers iu the country, says about editing a news paper. m 1 f f many people estimate tne aoiiny 01 a newspaper and the industry and talents of its editor by the quantity of editorial matter which it contains. It is comparatively an easy task for a frothy writer to pour out daily, columns of tcordsword3, upon any , and all subjects. His ideas, may fl w, in "one weak, washy, and everlasting flood," and his command of language rmfy enable him to siring them together like bunches of onions; and yet his paper may be a. meagre and poor concern. But what is the labor, the toil of such a man, who displays his -leaded matter1 ever so largely, to that imposed on the judicious, well iuformed edilor, who exercises his vocation with an hourly consciousness of ma ret-:pou5iumues auu ma auues, ana devotes himself to the conduct of his paperwith the same care and assiduity that a sensible lawyer bestows upon a suit, or a humane physician upon a patient, without regard to show or display! Indeed the mere writing part of editing a paper, is but a small portion of the work. .The care, the lime employed in selecting is far more important, and the tact of a good editor is belter shown by bis selections than any thing else; and that we all know is halt the bailie. But as we have said, an editor ought to be estimated and his labors understood and appreciated, by the general conduct of his paper its tone its uniform consistent course its ninciples its aims its manliness its dignity its propriety. To preserve these a3 they should be preserved, is enough to occupy fully the time and attention of any man.
