Evansvillc Journal. Tho scribbling cJitor of that paper avails himself of a nitre casualty, (the recent landing of a few packages of goods atliis village belonging to a merchant of this town,) to twit us in

his own stvle about the useless extension

of the central canal south of the forks ol White river; and he deals out the most

ridiculous gasconade of an ideal "city" to

overshadow "Old 1 ost. Such stud is altogether unworthy of a remark fr m us, when our town is visited daily hy steam boats. Indeed more steam boats now ply up and down our noble l iver annually, than could be found on the Ohio south ol Louisville, onlv a few years ago, when .Miliary owned Kvansville. How supremely contemptible and silly that paper lenders itself by talking as it does of Vincennes, Me disdain to demonstrate its lolly is renlly self-evident, and demonstration of this, would be lost labor. Can the editor of the Journal know any thing of our rivers or of our State lecilatiouf Will he tell his readers the prevailing sentiment of the counties south of W lute river when means were obtained to construct the Wabash and I'rie Canal.' and can he tell if the. tolls on all the produce to be shipped in canal boats on the contemplated canal .south of W bite river, will ever pay the repairs time must require, ami wages lock tenders w ill demand, the first cost out of the question? In relation to the trade of the abash vallev, or of this section of it, he surcW

lias no reason to hug delusion, unless in dVed, the speculators benefitted at l!i;i:is

vine by State lumls, think the people at larire easily culled, and that the farmers

and merchants of the Wabash Valley arc-

simple fools!!'. Bah! The sooner he cor

rects stu b selt-dclusion, tho better if may be for the bubble "ri'i"now expanded on the farm of the late Hugh McGary. Thin iiltul 'nVi" ii onlq a hoax: it is almost as far from New Orleans, and much farther from New York, than Vincennes

and it is destitute of our soil, our popula

tion, and our resources, without anv bet

tcr navigation than wc shall hae. Let

this satisfy for the present. We hope, as the weather is now becoming warm and pleasant, that all signs of rahidiiess in the Terrc-Ilaute Courier will disappear; our aim has been to convey information of public concern to our readers by reason, and to avoid t'.ie waspish vituperation and abusive personalities which "characterize some of our cotemporaries ol tho press. The old editor of the Courier, notwithstanding our correction of the falsehoods charging us with being under a "malign influence," and palming oil" as editorial the thoughts and opinions of another, persists in the base inuendoes to create a like belief, and pretends, the better to answer bis purpose, to address "powers behind the throne" "near the Gazette not the ostcmif It editor." .Now we avow we take no pleasure in noticing

fucIi bl.-rny it can only proceed from a system of editorial ethics too unscrupulous of means to effect its object, to claim any very particular regard, or eer be imitated on our part. The ostensible editor of this paper is the editor in fact, and what benefit the Courier can derive or vainly arrorrate to itself by misrepresenting us, we know not, and may add, care not contenting ourselves with the belter knowledge possessed of our f.iiran I independent course, in quarters more estimable. Our editorial course is not, nor never shall be regulated by any individual or cabal of men: our own judgement, guided bv truth and the public good, as far as possible upon every matter of general or local concern, impelsour action and prompts our words; and we only desire to avoid useless collision when we emphatically east from us with indignant contempt, every charge and inucndu calculated to impress' the idea that we uive other men's opinions !

and not our own. If, as we firmly trust is often the case, our opinions are gem rails ente; t lined, or hapnen to accord with the avowed opinions of other gentlemen, we sincerely rejoice at tile coincidence, and ihey are suiely no less our opinions on that account. The Courier takes umbra ire at our remark that "no paper in the State was (after bis former election) more

intimation of patching up quam Is shoul -have called to the recollection of the Co u-

rier the late verbiage directed in its columns against one of the Llv.insvillc Journal publishers' and, not many months since, the quarrel open and direct, with the Lafayette- l'ree Press, lioth of these papers arc now or hae been recently, yelping at our sentiments m relation to the extension of the canal to Kvanswlle. What crime docs their present agreement indicate.' Not any. The remark of the Courier about our "nose" ami his "dish," is only qui er we conceive the canal our property as much as his, ;md shall at our discretion use it accordingly. He has thrust himself forward into our dilicrcnee with the llvansviile Journal, but shall not lead us oil" the true scent. est.

Admit the fact, and then let us ask who has been the cause el" it? The answer is at hand General Jackson has been the side cause of it stimulated and set on by the miserable pack of unprincipled office-holders and

otlice-hunters that surround him, with .Mr. Van Ruren at their head. 7'e destruction the L'nitcd States Hank is the sole cause. Now for the proof: It is welt know n to ei cry one, except the principal

Washington-, Friday, KUh March. It was yesterday, amidst e ioiiiv clouds md an incessant rain, that Mr. I-'orsvtii

was seen wrapt in his mantle, walking without umbrella, and secininely unconscious of tho pollings of the rain: ins countenance evinced a perturbed spirit, and clearly showed that darker passions w en: brooding within, than the clouds without. I'he moment I saw the man, I sai I something was the matter. Mr. F. has too much seif-tu flteionev, too much seif-cj .ipl.sceiicy, to be disturbed about matters merely pertaining to the State; and I immediately set my little Ariel at work to divine the cause. This trusty spirit was not long at work before he discovered it and what, think you.' why, that Mr. Secretary had addressed a letter to the citizens of
