Yes, gentlemen, you do riht to celebrate the battle of Tippecanoe. There were there kindred spirit with those who distinguished themselves under similar circumstances at Miss:x-siniwy and Fort 31eigs, worthy of nil that you can say of them. Upon such an occasion, gentlemen, you will of course rot forget vour compatriots in arms: the chivalrous
nrd youthful bind from ihe distint Appainatox, the Blues of Pittsburgh, so distinguished fr tliir military accomplishments, the gallant sons of Westmoreland, Fayette, Washington, Alleghany, and ether districts of Upper Pennsylvania, your own i.eighbors and brethren of Ohio, who so nobly seconded your efforts at Mississinaway and Meigs, and list but nut least as 1 know in your estimation, your own immediate commander, who united in his character all the qui lilies calculated to secure esteem or create affection. It remains for me, gentlemen, to give you the re son which has prevented me from partaking of
your festival. I could not do so without violating my eflictal duties, and you would, 1 trust, think that 1 am a trry altered innn if any personal consideration could induce me to dose. The same ret sou which prevented me from meeting some of you at I exington will deprive me of thU pleasure at Paris. 1 beg leave to offer you a toast. Garrard" Troop of Bourbon Light Dragoons.

Wht joy would it have given u.-s or.ee nmrr, and on this grnnd lo-djy, to have taken our goad o!d Gmrrnl by the fund. As this pie isure s denied us, we will nevertheless s-eak of him &s be deserves to be spi ken of. We know him t-

Wc hare received a Pr.mpM?t, written by & citizen of Indiana, proposing a stom of Intcnrjl Improvement io this Ptate. We are not able to judge whether the plan of the writer is the best that could be devised, but wc concur with him in opinion, that the time has come, when tba State should engage, with igor io the prosecution of a system of Internal Improvements. The writer proposes tb.it the State shall make a loan of money, in order to accomplish tha works. Whether the plan of the writer is not too extensive and the amount of loan proposed too large, wo shall not hazard an opinion, but we arc in favor of a ij'.-ia l.an, for such an amount as may be necessary ta accomplish a judicious system of Itnpiovements. Wc give an extract from the Pamphlet beluw. To keep the foregoing principles in view in digesting a plan of public improvements, thnt will pro
vide for canals where they can he unde. rail roaJj where the condition of the country demands them, and good roads in other places, and equalize their benefits to the people of the State; and at the snrno time select such works as will combine sufficiency of strength to enable their completion, in a uniform, progressive manner, and commiud such an amount of business that the tolls will pay the interest aad ultimately redeem the debt which they w ill ccst, it is proposed. 1st.

PUBLIC WORKS. There Is sound sense in the following paragraph, which
we extract from a speech of A. Stewart, Erq. in a Convention lately held at Oswego, New Vok, for the purpose of
advancing the great project of a Kail Uoad from the Hud
son to Lake Krie. We commend his remarks to those who
stigmatize every association for the improvement of the country, as a Jlonoply. Some men have such a patriotic dread of Monopolies, and such a fear of taxing the dear peo.L, that nothing can ba done towaidslhe improvement of the country, without exciting their opposition. A Rail j Road or Turnpike is needed. It is proposed that the State shall make it. "Oh no!" say there exclusive patriots, for if the profits of the work should not be sufficient to repay the loan, tbe people must be taxed. It is then proposed to charter a comptay and periuit it to construct the Hail Uoad or Turnpike, and uka moderate tolls "Oh No !' say these wise lovers of the people "we are opposed to all such Monopolies." How then "shall the work be done? The f-'tate must not do it a company
must no tdo it. O.-.c would think such an objector had some r:lnn in his head, like Captain UobaJiTs project for con
ed 1 nnprmT ar. army, bv which he could meet and vanuish all

the labor and ditf.cu.ty of a great work of Internal Im
provement, single handed. The people should reflect whe
ther their dear friend?, by this cry of "Monopoly" on the
one hand and "Taxation' on the. other, will not put a stp
to ail improvement, or cause us fo to retrogade, in prosper
ity, that wc shall have tut little property in comparison j
with our sister state?, lo be taxec and bet little trade to bs Monopolized. We have heard cf children being spoiled
