into the Cross out and the spring business of the canal, has to some extent been opened. Already have two or three freight boats made their appearance. In connection with this subject we will state that our mind has recently been directed to the fact that the tolls on the greater number of articles upon the Wabash and Erie Canal, are so exceedingly high as to amount in many instances to al- most a prohibition. This we must regard as derogatory to the trade, and hence to the best interests of the canal and the country contiguous to the work. The rates of toll should be similar to that of other public works, of the same description, throughout the country. The subject of the reduction of tolls, has, we understand, been under advisement by the Trustees of the Indiana and Ohio Board, who will doubtless make such modifi-

cations in the rate of toll, as sound policy and the best interests of the work would dictate. The primary object of the board, we understand, is to regulate the toll in such a way as to yield the greatest amount of revenue to the trust; this, of course, should be their object; should they act otherwise, they would prove recreant to their duty, and illmerit the confidence reposed in them. We have been furnished by a friend with the following comparative statement of the tolls on various articles on the Wabash and Erie Canal and other similar waters in the country: W. & E.

Destruction of the Penitentiary. On Tuesday last, Mr. Hudson, from the committee sent to examine into the damage done to the State Prison, by the recent fire, announced his intention to bring into the House a report on that subject on the next morning and also stated that the State by said fire, sustained a damage to the amount of $15,000 and that Mr. Patterson's loss by said fire, amounts to $30,000. ———————

03r The Indianapolis correspondent of tfre Evansville Journsl, like all the correspondents of whig pspers declares that Mr. McCarty has a "known oharnoter for honesty and strict integrity of purpose," of thirty years' standing, at Indianapolis.— Prom the laudation of Mr. MoCsrty's honesty by the whigs we are led to suppose that it is rather a scarce article among the whigs candidates at least the whig papers do not talk of the honeety of their other oandidates. Mr. McCarty, we believe, is the only one on the whig ticket who was a "fund commissioner'* under the whig general improvement system.^

0^" The Express intimates that we haVe violated one of the cardinal dootrines of the Democratic party, in our late issue, in advocating the petition presented to Congress by Mr. Davis, in regard to a governmental appropriation for the Atlantic and Mississippi Rsllroad. We are ourselves in favor of the resolution adopted at the late Democratic State Convention, opposing all vast systems of internal improvement, either by the General or State government. But how oan the advooacy of a grant of land from the General Government for the furtherance of this work be opposing this cardinal doctrine of the Democratic faith, we can't see.— We are not in favor of the General Government taking this work into their own hsnds, or any other vast internal improvement. Let individual enterprise take the work, and let the General Government assist and encowoge this individual enterprise by a proper and judicious appropriations from the Publio domain. el "u* v. 0^* A correspondent of the Brookville American, writing from Indianapolis, states that Mr Mateon, President of the Whig State Convention, in his speech on taking the chair, related a remarkable circumstance which happened in his family on the day President Polk was inaugurated—a eon was born to him, and that Mrs. Matson refused to have him called Polk, "preferring to call her boy after a man who would be Preaident," and the boy was named Winfield Scott.

This we ebould sayjls another evidence of things hoped for, but wise**. We do not think there waa anything remarkable in the circumstance, for, doubtless, there were many eons born on that day, but the story was g^wl enough to tell to a Whig Convention

The editor has been pleased to call Judge Smith a Doctor of the law, before this, indeed we did not Lnow, that his honor, had had the degree of LL/D. confered upon him. This is doubtless true, considering the source from whence it came, tod we rejoice that it is so, for no man in Indiana is. better entitled to the appellation than Thomas L. Smith. He is a sound lawyer and profound judge and it is to be regretted, that he could not permit his name to go before the Convention, as a candidate for the nomination, for re-election to that poet, which he has ao ably filled to the credit of the State, hie party and himself.

0^* Speaking of the eleotion of Col. Jno. B. Weller of Ohio as United States Senator from California the State Sentinel ofthe 9 th inst. remarks: "The election of Col. Weller, as Senator in Congress from California, is a great political triumph. It is not only a triumph of the Democracy in California, but of the whole Union. Col. Weller's influence and talents will be felt in the nstional councils. He was appointed by President Polk commissioner to run the Mexiosn Boundary line, but was shortly afterwards removed by President Tsylor. -Thus have the people of California and Oregon rebuked the admmistrstion by the election of Weller and Lane to Congress one as a Senator, the other as a Delegate and we only regret that the butcher Ewing, who made them the peculiar objects of his vengeance, as Secretary of the Interior and as Senator is not now in the Senate in the piece of Wade, when they might meet tho slanderer fsce to face, and mete out to him that oasat on is as a on it

The American Journal, speaking of the Terre Haute and Indianapolis Railroad has the following:

The road traverses a very extensive coal field which is to supply Indianapolis and Terre Haute with fuel. As it will be furnished at a very low rate, it cannot fail to make the former an important manufacturing town. The business of the eight lines of railroad centering at that point, will alone be sufficient to build a city of 50,000 inhabitants and when we add to this, that three great elements neoessary to constitute a great town—food, coal, and iron—will be supplied in the greatest abundance, and at the lowest cost, we cannot doubt it will become one of the largest inland towns in the the United States." ———————

Each House of Congress is now engaged in considering and discussing the policy of granting alternate section of publio land in the ne*v States for Railroad purposes. The Iowa land bill is before the Senate and the Missouri land bill is before the Hottjra. The entire delegations from these two States are exerting themselves to the utmost of their power to secure the passage of those bills. They will be aided by the almost entire delegations from the new states, with perhaps an occasional exception prompted by local and selfish intsrest. .The speech of Judge Douglas of Illinois, on the Iowa QUI, is for the most part applicable to the welldigested bills for grants of alternate sections pro* posed by other States. Congress pays no taxes on the millions of acres of land owned in the new States and Territories and it is a most narrow policy for her to refuse to enhance their value by making liberal grants to the States and Territories in which her possessions lie. The people of your State are too familiar with the name and publio services of Judge Douglas not to know that be stands prominent before the country aa one of the number from which the Baltimore Convention will select the Democratic candidate for the Presidency. It is conceded by all that the Democracy of the Union could be united on him so as to secure the success of the ticket by a triumphant majority.— His antecedents ere all without apot or blemish he has had no feuds with differing factions of the party there is nothing in his past history, personal or political, which would require rifal factions to admit, by casting their votes for him, that they had been in error heretofore. He is not identified with any local or sectional questions and therefore all true Jeffersonian Democrats could rally to his support with the confident belief that they would be fairly treated by his administration. These remarks are not applicable, however, to Judge Douglas, alone, but apply with more or less foroe to many of our Statesmen who have not heretofore been oandidates for the Presidency, nor been identified with looal and seolional factions and divisions. If we would unite the whole party it must be mani fest to all that we must have anew man for our candidate. If, however, there is a determination to run either one of the old candidates we do so with the knowledge in the beginning that we peril the suocess of the ticket. Feeling as the party did towards Mr. Van Buren in '44, it would have been gra!ifying to have nominated and elected him President, because he was defeated in '40 by the humbuggery of hard cider end coon skins. But it was as manifest at the assembling of the Convention in '44 that we could not elect him, as it was manifest sfler the votes were counted, that we had elected James Polk. It is difficult te rally a party upon aoandidate who has once suffered defeat you cannot inspire the voters with enthusiasm hence the necessity, if we desire a strong rally and a glorious triumph at the polls, of presenting new names to the Democracy in 1852.

I omittted to soy, while speaking of granting lands to Missouri that Mr. Hall, one of the Representatives from that State, in a speech of great power, presented the justice and equity of the provisions of the bill and urged his friends not to permit it to be referred to the Committee of the whole House on the State of the Union, as, if so referred it would not likely be reached but challenges those opposed to the bUno^a discussjon of its merits, in the House. 1

The question of mail steamers, and the spoliation bill, will be taken up before long they will elicit animated debate.^,^
