The Canal Commissioners in Ohio, are
making great exertions in preparing the line
of Canal for excavation. The 4th of July next, is the time set. for breaking the ground.
De Witt Clinton it is thought will be present
on that momentous occasion, and deliver an
address.
ery moral member of the community; but
for the honor of the town, we trust there is
not such a character within its precincts.
If the writer will attack the evil upon broad
and general principles, and clothe his re
marks in language that could not be construed to personality, we will cheerfully join
with him in assailing it without mercy, de
nouncing it wherever we find it, and pursuing it until it shall not find a resting place in our vicinity.
The Hon. Henry Clay is expected in
Cincinnati some time about the last of this
month, to partake of a splendid dinner whicl
the citizens are preparing to honor him with on his arrival. It is probable he may be at
this place in the beginning of next month. TO READERS AND CORRESPONDENTS.
It may not be amiss at this time, to lay before our readers and correspondents, the
rule by which we shall be governed, in re
lation to communications submitted to us for
publication in this paper, received per mail
or otherwise. The practice of signing fictitious names to articles intended for the press, has become so fashionable among the politicians of the present age, that it would be difficult to make them believe that the course is objectionable, and attended, very frequently, with more evil than good to society. It is not our intention to attempt a reform in this custom, we merely wish to bring it into some shape that may be understood for the convenience of ourselves and correspondents. The propriety of some regulation on this subject, will be very easilydiscovered by mentioning two facts, relating to the pieces signed 'Indianian' and 6 Truth
which appear in this number: The name of
the auther accompanies neither of these pie
ces. A note is attached to one, informing that "the author shall be made known if required;" and to the other, "A subscriber is the author and wishes your confidence." In the first place, the author can be had if we can by any means decipher who lie is-, and in the second, we are requested to keep secret that which was never confided to us! We, however,have been enabled to ascertain who the authors are, not from any data furnished
by them, (for we don't know the wrriting of
every man,) but from o'her sources. What
an article is presented for publication, on any subject which may result in a controversy, the author's name must be attached to it not as a signature, if thought proper, but may accompany the note which gener
ally follows. This we conceive to be a right,
which contingencies might render necessa
ry for us to claim. Those who do not conform to this regulation, must not expect
their favors published through our columns.
In justice to governor Ray, we would suggest, to the editors of the Spectator, the propriety of correcting his address to Samuel Fields, published in their last number; in which there were several omissions, which
rendered it absurd, ridiculous, and void of
sense or meaning; and which, if not conec
ted, would be calculated to injure him materially, among men of sense and discrimintion. It would, therefore, be but justice to
Mr. Iiav, to make the correction.
N. B. The editors of the Spectator would have been entitled to our thanks, for cor
recting "a small blunder" in our 22d number, had they convinced us of any error; but
as we are firmly established in the correctness of our position, we feel ourselves under no obligations to them.

If they are engaged, as now is not unfrequently the case, in talking politics, or reading a newspaper, or perhaps only enjoying a cool seat in the back part of their shops, they will often say they have not the article inquired for, rather than rise to fetch it; and if the customer persists to point it out in the shop, he is coolly desired to get it for himself, and lay down the money."
FROM NILES' REGISTER. FORE1GX OPIXIOXS.
The progress of our country may be ob
served in the increased attention which the messages and speeches of our presidents, and
the proceedings of our national legislature,
receives in every part of Europe. The strength of the republic begins to be ascer
tained, and it is clearly manifested that our
liberal institutions are about to have
mighty influence over the affairs and the
leelings ol the people of the ,4old world
An American character has been estab
lished, and, perhaps, the most glorious feature of it is, in a steady devotion to the
great principles of our government, and a
prompt submission to the constitution and
the law, though, in certain cases, we may
object to the operation of the former and
deem the latter inexpedient; and in differ
ing about individuals to administer the gov ernmeni, as though our very lives depend
ed on tliO success of one candidate or defeat
of a- rtlvji ! But the system goes on with
out interruption, and the nation proceeds in
population and power unchecked, notwith-
withstanding persons are much disappoint ed and favorite theories are rejected: proud
ly shewing the "safety with which error of
opinion may be tolerated, when reason is
left free to combat it; and indignantly tram
pling under foot the absurd dogma of king
and their priests, that ihtt people are incapable of governing themselves, as to that which is best suited to promote their own welfare
here and hereafter.
There is no country in the world, perhaps,
in which so much respect is paid to the law
as in the United States but a man may live
for years among us without even coming into contact with the law or any of its minis
ters; and, in the latter, we only see our
neighbors, who also desire to be our friends. There are no separated classes with us, save the virtuous and the vicious at least, none
that are known to the constitution, and so
only temporary or artificial. 1T 1 . 1 11
we are leu to tnese remarks by seeing the following extract from the London Globe
and Traveller of the 13th ult. Speakingof
the inaugural address of the president, the editors say - 'This eloquent document is not only interesting as a manifesto of the intended policy, during his administration, of the first magistrate of a great republic, but possesses high merit as a clear and rapid summary of the past aistory of the American union It is the peculiar happiness of America, as well as a strong proof of the intrinsic advantage of free discussion, that, notwithstanding the utmost liberty of writinc and

i ue political resurrection oi icypt irom
the dust, if we may use so strong an expression, has excited the astonishment of the civilized world. It is true that her government is a complete despotism; but the sovereign feels too much personal pride of character to rule oyer political and moral, as well as natural deserts. The staple commodifies of his kingdom have become invah uable to English commerce the intercourse is hourly increasing. The sovereign of thatcountry is not satisfied with agricultre and commerce. He has already established public schools after Lancasterian model?. Thus is this tyrant, unconsciously to himself, and while he persuades himself that he. is only enriching his own empire, sowing the seeds of future liberty. He is teaching his people how to act and how to think to conceive themselves beasts of burden no longer, but as born to higher destinies, So little can despots do to preserve the human mind in slaverv: the moment they begin to improve and adorn the country over which they preside, they accustom their subjects to new associations they disturb the tranquility of their ignorance demolish their ancient prejudices, and by so doing, destroy the very basis on which their own security is founded.

. We have received a communication from "Charity,"" addressed to a "revengeful, tattling, and calumniating woman," and upon reflection, we have thought it most prudent to defer its publication. When it was first presented, we were under the impression that it was of a general nature; but upon a second and a more attentive examination, its personal character stood too conspicuous not to be misunderstood. In giving it publicity, we would be placing ourselves in a very unpleasant situation; we would, in a great measure, lay ourselves under an obligation to publish any reply which might be made, (which, perhaps, would not be verv mild;) this would create a controversy un
profitable to themselves, uninteresting to the public, disgusting to every man of sense, and such an one as never can find a place in our columns: then, the surest way to aviod this controversy, is to nip it in its bud. It is our intention never to meddle ourselves with

or family broils; and, above all, we do not
