WAITS-WAVER CAiAL Aotiee to Bidders. PROPOSITIONS must state a price for each item of work given in the estimates, which will he understood as covering all expenses. The price bid for grubbing and ch aring per chaiu, will he understood to include the whole widlh necessary to be grubbed. The price bid for excavation will be understood, to include all the various kinds of earth which may be found in the section, together with all detached rock which measures less than i of a cubic foot each. The price bid for detached rock will apply to such as measure one fourth of a cubic foot or upwards, and will include the tost of separating them from the earth an J .lacing them on the berm side of the canal. At the 1 I utfs. where, the rock excavated will be required for protection on the same section, no rock excavation will be paid for, though it may be found within the trunk of the canal. In such cases the price bid for protection will be the only compensation for removing and placing the stone. The price hid for embankment must cover the whole cost of the work under the following regulations to-wit: The bank will be m asured in all cases after it has become fuilv compactand where a bank is to be accepted before the earth is fully settled, the contractor will be required to raise it as much above the ordinary height as the Commissioner or Engineers may deem necessary.

This distinguished -en-tlcman is travelling j the stage, in that plain, unostentatious, republican manner which becomes his own admirable character and is so well suited to the cenius of his countrymen. This conduct of Gen. Harrison, h
V 7V 1 u""c st:,Se' 'ike the majority of Ins fellow-citizens, has lately called 'forth
ii.v, uuoouiKicu.rioicule and invective from one of the courtly minions of Mr. Van buien. Havin-g nothing ehe to aller- against him. it seems that the manners and republican plainness of this gentleman of this gallant soldier and faithful public servant are to be the standing (homes of reproach. We found Gen. Harrison to be in appear ancc wliathe is in reality, a gentleman of the old school. His manner is easy, frank, and dignified, without the slightest mixture of foreign foppery or monkeyish affection. The contrast between what we saw. and what we had been reading but a few hours before in a Virginia organ of the New York faction, was very great. Anion" the most nmmtr.'
of the charges now going the rounds of thee veracious prints against Gen. Harrison, in order, if possible, t5 frighten the People from his support, is an account of the disgust!' (God save the mark) which was entertained by certain refined cits from the fashionable eirc les of New York and Philadelphia, who lately visited (he old hero at his farm on the Ohio. A pretty subject, indeed, to put into the newspapers their disgust! A find reason truly for dec iding the election of Prcsidedt of (he United States. These men probably found Gen. Harrison engaged in the busines of his farm, and covered with dirt and dust; and the feelings which they experienced were doubtless simi

Banner: New Jersey is invariably ranked among the States certain at the coming election to give her vole for Van Buren. " Why this is so calculated upon b the Whigs of other Slates, we cannot perceive. A majority of the votes in New Jersey has not been given to Gen. Jac kson since 1821. And wlrthcy should (and they never w ill be given to Van Buren) we cannot divine. It is true J.ickson electors succeeded in IS:W, but it wasby a minority vote. It is true also, that the Legislature has been of the same complexion these several years past: yet (his is easily accounted for. The People of this State" are not suflic ientlv awake to the importance of unceasing, eternal vigilance; they do not, as they should, nhcrns exercise-that right which is estimable; in a word, they cannot every year be brought to the polls. Wc "have now in this State a certain majority against Van Buren, and that majority will, most assuredly, exhibit itself al the coming contest. The Stale is for Harrison. Salem county will greatly increase her former majority for the

Police Office An agreeable surprise. Oir Tuesday night a watchman found an old leather trunk lying-beside the fence at Battery Place. The trunk had apparently teen cut open and rifled of its contents, except one or two old articles of dress which seemed not worth taking. The watchman brought the trunk to the police office yesterday morning, and shortly after a poor man came into the office and complained in the most hcrymoe humor Hint an old trunk belonging lo him, which contained all his wealth, had been stolen from his lodgings the night before, arid that unless he recovered it lie was a ruined man. On being asked to describe the trunk whic h had been stolen from him, and tell what it contained, he enforce! into a mot minute de scription of an old trunk, which appeared lo have been long in his possession and had accompanied him in so many travels by sea nnd la ml, that he prized it more than any tiling in (his world except his wife. But, said he, 'mm h as I valued the trunk, I would not care so much abdut'losing il, only it contained hi eh liars, which I have been six

could be no doubt of its being the same that was found by the w atchman, and he was accordingly (old it was in the police office, hut that it had been cut open and robbed of its contents. On hearing this information, the poor man cried like a child, and was so affected by his loss that he was about to retire
from the office without taking the now value-
ess trunk along with him. Some person
however suggested that he had better take it
away. He then went into the room where the trunk was. and stood for a minute or two looking most wishfully atit, and then stooping down, he opened it, and taking out, one by one, the old garments which the thieves c!;d not think w orth stealing, he sobbed out, ''they robbed me of every "thing but this, and thi?, and Oh! gentlemen, gentlemen," lie exclaimed, "here is my money" which was tied up in an old bag, and had escaped the search of the thieves, who could not nave expected to find such a booty in an old trunk, which, along with its contents, was scarcely worth two dollars. Surprised and overjoyed,
the old man then took up his old trunk, aim triumphantly carried it away. Jowr. Com.
