(real, and proceeded to England The Montreal Gazette says riiiriiiff the winter, the expedi tion had to endure great privations . and sufferings, owing to the scarcity of food, and the severity of the weatner. me u ing exactly one year afier he had leilLachine, and during a very heavy snow storm, the despatch communicating capt. Ross's safe return was delivered to capt. Back. The primary object for which the journey was undertaken being thus happily lulfilled by other Agents, capt. Back made preparations for complying with the secondary part of his instructions--the examination of the coast between Point Tnrnagain and Ross's Pillar. Several boats were with the utmost activity built during thewinter,butin spring, finding that they had an insufficient supply of provisions, they could only take one with them. It was not: until the month ot July, io, uai the expedition got to open water on the Thlew-ee-chodezeth, or Great Fish river. Capt. Back, we believe, succeeded in determining that tins river runs to the northward,and if we understand the purport of the scanty information which has reached us, it has its source on a height of land, about 150 or 200 miles from Fort Reliance, the winter establishment of the expedition, at the -eastern extremity of Great Slave Lake. Capt. Back is the first European who has visited the Great Fish river and examined its course to the polar seas. Its very existence was doubted by many geographers. It is said to be large, but dangerous of navigation greatly impeded by ice, and having little but mounds of sand along it banks. It falls into the Polar sea, at a point, as far as we can learn, that coincides very near to the place assigned to it by capt. Back and the Arctic committee in London. Farther than this, we only know that the party of intrepid travelers had to encounter every obstacle to which polar navigation is liable,and we are led to believe that immense j masses of ice, accompanied by uncommonly severe weather, finally .arrested their progress. How fir the labors of the expedition will increase our knowledge of the line ot coast, we are unable to say ; but from what has been stated above, it is obvious that a new route has been opened to the Polar sea, and that a large blank which formerly struck the eye on surveying the map, will now in a great measure be filled tip. Capt. Back will, we believe, have much interesting information to communicate, respecting his observations on the aurora, the changes on the needle, as he drew northward, &c. The extreme cold experienced,we learn, was 70 degrees below zero. We copy the following from a handbill which we received from Columbus, Ohio. TO THE FRIENDS OF LIBERTY AND THE CONSTITUTION, Fellow Citizens : The condition of our Country calls for the earnest consideration of every citizen. An open attempt has been made, and is in daily oratress, practically to subvert our institutions.0 This is done in the name of Democracy, and in the name of the People; thus, beguiling men to become instruments for their own degradation. The forms of the Constitution are to be kept up; but the influence of a sound and wholesome pubic opinion is to be destroyed by the management of men in office, through the agency of Parted Conventions and other assemblages, secret and public, of those interested, to preserve themselves in place. Power, thus perpetuated in succession, is more corrupting and mote destructive, than when transmitted by hereditary descent. Will the intelligent FREEMEN of the contry, quietly and without an effort to prevent it, slide into this state of real bondage? Will they consent that their once highly prized privilege of choosing their own Rulers, shall exist only as a means of keeping men in office, whom they had once placed there; and by a machinery which binds them to vote, not as their own judgments prefer, but as others, their managers may direct them ? It is of the first importance to ascertain what is public opinion upon this subject. This can only be determined by the People, the real People, assembling together, and speaking for themselves. The choice of a President, to succeed Gen. Jackson, in 1836, is particularly a subject upon which public opinion should be expressed and understood. The present and increasing importance of the Western section of our confederacy, will

section, to meet and express their opinions upon the claims of those of her own citizens. ..-iw linen hpf-n na med bv the people or pub lic press, as candidates. The selection should be made not only for the West, but for the whole Union: and the choice should designate a candidate, "CAPABLE, HONEST AX D FAITHFUL TO THE CON STITUTION." If, superadded to these 00pniiMl rrnuisiles. a candidate can be se lected, possessing additional qualifications, his claim to our support is sirenguieutu anu our duly more imperative. The "rent body of the People of the United States, and of the western country in particular rnirratred in Agriculture and the Me chanic Arts, And in responding to the nomination of Gen. WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON, of Ohio, already made by a respect able portion ol the citizens ot omcr cuics,, and of this State, it is believed we present a man possessing all these qualincations; also, that no other citizen will be brought forward, who can, with as mnrh frf.iinf v as Gen. llARKlSUiN , unite so large a portion of the votes ot the tree and Independent Electors of the Union, against i)1P candidate nresented bv the Convention as sembled by order of the Dictators, at Baltimore; and since his name is aireaay ueiore h A M F.R 1CAN PEOPLE, let it not be said that the FREEMEN of his own State are indiftprent to his merits. It is, therefore, recommended to the Freemen of Franklin County, friendly to the election of this distinguished individual, to assemble at the Court-house, in Columbus, on SATURDAY, the 20th day of this instant, at 3 o'clock, in the afternoon, to consult on, and adopt such measures, as may be deemed proper to make known their sentiments, in favor of him, who has uniformly sustained the honor and interests of the Union, as well in the Councils of ihe Nation, as in the Battlefield, under Wayne, and as Commander of our gallant troops, at Tippecanoe, Fort Meigs and the Thames.
