Great care should be taken bv the boudiiohh-rs in the selection of Trustees. Active, energetic business men should be selected. We w ant no broken down politician to superintend the prosecution of the canal. Men not identified with the pas?nge of the bill off last winter should be selected. We believe much of the opposition to the bill of last winter originated m a waul of confidence in a few of the men engaged in urinu it upon the Legislature. Should tfaey n a be selected to carry out the arrangement, will it not be regarded by its opponents as evi d ana af dm truth of the charge, t .at the whole matter originated in a design to advance personal interests alone ! It has already been hinted, bv the Stae Sentinel, that measures ought not to be taken hv the next I.'i'is!atore to earrv out the nrmrismn o lbs ad of last winter.

In our translation of the let!er taken from Potria, in the 4 lelta 1 of yesterday, we omitted to insert a number of stars, w hich, in the original, followed the extravagant praisis bestowed by the writer on Santa Anna's army.

By-thebye, if this is not a Mexican tnck, a mere blind, this movement of Santa Anna has decidedly more of the ludicrous than of the sublime about it. VVeshould think so large and well-equipped a force as this is represented by the Mexicans to be, would find patriotism and the love of glory a sufficient motive to march against a hostile and invading foe, so greatly inferior to it in numbers. But those noble feelings will not move them.

Faci versus Prepbecy The New Haven Register thus shows up the extravagant fooleries of the Federal Press in its calculations of the effects of the tariff of lslti: A Samfle of Blue Ruis ! We call our readers' attention to the following string of prophecies which were soberly put forth by the Palladium, immediately on the passage of the present tariff. They furnish the most striking illustration of the wolf-cry of "ruin, which the federalists are forever starting for political purposes, that we have yet met with. Doubtless there were many at the time who were made by these federal croakers to entertain the same gloomy forebodings and were as honest in their belief as were the followers of Father .Miller, in the burning of the w orld !
