Very extensive repairs hnv* been made on that part of tbe road east of the Ohio river, in Maryland, Virginia, and Pennsylvania. The whole plan of repairing the road is again submitted by the Engineer Department to the revision of Con gress, on tbe following state of facts: In July, 1832, Congress undertook to have the road effec to ally repaired, and, for that purpose, ceded it to tbe States through which it passes, (Ohio, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Maryland) tho subsequent repairs to be met by tolls raised on tbe road. The plan of Macadamiaing was adopted. I'pon examination, however, it was found that iti the mountainous distriots, where repairs wore laest needed, stone of a proper kind was so'difficult to procure, that it must be the means of increasing graatly the estimated expense. To complete the road* on this plan, Col. Gratiot estimates the expense at not less than 645,000 dollars. Partial repair*, abandoning the Macadam plan, might be mnle, for present use, for 147,000 dollar*.

In another article, I find a sprinkle of sweet scented epithets, vix: 'Filled with falsehoods and absurdities'—'dirty vork'—'polluted by the wretched productions of so worthless a creature'— abandoned and profligate career' an^ri^nst of other classic terms, that would fill JMyV* Can any one, after reading such language, so disgraceful to a public print, bat believe that it was penned by a pupil of the Ibany Regency, and a graduate of the Kichen Cabinet? None but those who long have been schooled in that seminary of corruption could ever have such undignified expressions at I heir tongue's end. Every article teems with such language, and I much doubt whether the writer, flom his previous habits and education, could turn his thoughts into amors chaste,dignified, and manly channel.-— Abuse is the strong argument of his school, and the loftiest aspirations of his followers if, to bring men'of standing and principle to the same level with themselves. Such is, and must be, tho tendency of the present system of politics. The patriots point to the Constitution, the liberty, and happiness of the People. These politicians point only to the money in tho Treasury Pure Republicans maintain our laws, oar institutions, and our country's rights,but these politicians core only for the offices in the gift of the Government. The People, whom they seek to degrade by taking from them the right of judging for themselves, are pure and patriotic, while the politicians are selfish anil unworthy, without a single aspiration beyond their own personal aggrandizement. I cannot but apply the expression of an admired writer, that these selfish politicians, and their petty editors,possess the 'very soul of mental vulgarity, chuckling over the wit of its own littlenets.' If I should be compelled, in any communication I may make, to turn from the straight path I will then endeavor to clothe my sentiments in the language of the Democrat editors school, acd deck my expressions with the chaste metaphors of the Globe.

Dear Sir: The iSatflTbnrhas paisip^SBgh, so far, with every promiae of final success. Several efforts have been made, in both Houses, to render it unpopular with its real friends, by attempting to destroy some of its best foaturos.— Every effort of the kind has failed,borne through, as it has been, by the determined phalanx which reflects the voice of the people. Its supporter* are determined to allow no minor differences to divide them, feeling a weight of responsibility hanging over them which they are resolved to meet at every haxxard. In the Senate, your townsman, Mr. FARRI.NGTON, has proved an able, active, and vigilant supporter of the measure, and by his prudent and conciliatory course has aided it most materially. Messr8.BATT*i.i.&CLAiut are also entitled to much praise for their exertions, in prescrf ing the main features of the bill unimpaired, and thereby rendering it more acceptable to the friends of the measure, generally. In the House, GKO. H. DONN continues the able champion of the measure, and with a watchfulness which nevtr tires, has so far met and bafiled the efforts of its enemies. Messrs. PISRSOIT, of Vermillion EVAK«, of Fountain FAIRVAK and BXOWN, of Tippecanoe and WALXAC*,of Jefferson—are all able advocates of the measure. My opinion, heretofore expressed in a former letter, is confirmed, that a bill will pass for the establishment of a State Bank and Branches. Such, at least, is the universal opinion. Messrs. THOMFso*v Bioosa, and SrctL* are the great guns in the opposition to tbe Bank. The two first named are strong men, the latter just so so. It may be said of Mr. STKSLC,"He paints a dolphin ia the woods, and a boar on tbe wares.

****5*®' Smt. 15, 1833. read with feelings of pc-

culiar approbalico the^ditorial remarks in ydur paper of the 7th inst. on the subject of the Vice Presidency. I had already noticed, with no uther emotions than those of contempt and disgust, the movementsflfid declarations to which too ^j Ude—designed to ca belief that the Presidential Electors nominated on the 5th of March last, would, if elected, vote for Mr. Van Bdreo as.Vice President.

wi|| be|iete

that any honcft and intelligent friend of Gen. Jackson can be guilty of such gross temerity. Should even a well grounded suspicion prevail, that such course would be ultimately pursued by any portion of the electors on our ticket-— thousands^ of Get% Jackson's sincere friends would be deterred from supporting it and if the corrupt attempts to induce this course are persisted in to tbe last, it may render doubtful even the (tofire electoral vote for Gen. Jackson himself.

V'-3!5 v*

Strange as it may seem, and discreditable as it certainly is, to its authors and abettors—1 am now convinced, from recent developemcnts, and facts within my own knowledge, that a deep laid plot is actually in a train of maturation, having for its object the transfer (if possible) of a part, if not the whole electoral vote of Pennsylvania, to Mr. Van Buren. The plain is to remain quiet hereafter until the l^eiidential election, when the vtfte of the people will have been given with a view to Mr. AVilkins—-then meetings of squads are to be got up wjherevcr it is pos«ble, and resolutions passed complimentary to Mr. Wilkins, but expressing regret that his prospects ofsuccess throughout the Union are no better, aod a hope, that as an act df patriotic sacrifice rendered necessary by the crisis of af* fairs—he will cfcc/roef 'These will be paraded as evidences of public opinion, immediately before the electors assembled—to justify I hose (if any) who may be so inclined for giving theirvotes for Mr. Van Buftto, and thus shamelesst ly degrading the political character of the State.

He not astonished al almcst any political movement in these times—therefore startle not when I tell you that I have seen letters (and heard of others) from New York politicians, which contain an outline of the above 'project* And that there are men in this State, engaged in this humiliating scheme, who profess to bo friendly to Gen. Jackson—but who, tn truth, are merely employing the influence of his name for their own mercenary and ambitious purposes—is equally certain, and susceptible of the clearest proof! What Peftnsylvanian,. let me ask, who cherishes a single feeling of State pride or has a spark of manly spirit glowing within hts-bosom, but must awaken to indignant resentment at the insult to the State, which this, project involves? It is such an insult as no one except the servile tools of a practised political gambler and systematic iiAriguer, would dare to offer, even the most insignificant state in the Union. I have too much rcspect for the individuals named on our electoral ticket, to be lievo that any of them will prove recreant to the principles avowed by the fifth of March Convention, and cast their votes for the New York candidate for the Vice Presidency know it is a common maxim, that "every man has his price however true this may be as il rule, so far as Iarji concerned in this a genera juwyi»t

there can be no price for faith and dereliction of principle ren having, by himself and bis friends, done all in his power to defeat the views and just claims of the democracy of Pennsylvania, ought to be the' last man to expect, and 1 trust will be the last man to receive its favors. My vote can never be given to him for the Vice Presidency, under any circumstances and I took occasion to declare myself, in the broadest and most unqualified terms, the other evening, to the State Central Committee, in order, if therc^'were any latent understanding in which the) praticipat ed, to transfer ultimately, the vote of this State to Mr. Van Bureh— that my name might be stricken from the ticket.

My personal respect for the President and tlie connection, unfortunate, IrmiHt call it, both for the country atid Gen. Jackson)"Which recently existed between him and Van Buren,has hitherto deterred me in some measure, from speaking of the latter as I think he deserves. The unsparing bitterness of his former opposition to General Jackson—continued until ctcrj hope of success was blasted by the firmness of Pennsylvania—argues but little in favor of the sincerity and patriotism of his late fawning professions—to say nothing of their grossness and servility. Situated as I am, when at home, on the confines of the State of New York, and having been personally intimate with many of Mr. Van Buren's partizans, few individuals have had better opportunities, than myself, of watching his political manoeuvres, for the last twenty years during which time he has exhi bited all the powers and qualities with regard to politics, of the chameleon, assuming every hoe and color which his ambitious purposes, in view of the exigencies of the moment, seem ed to require. To apeak plainly-**! kuowhim to be devoid of political integrity—and most of those high qualities of the mind, which, wherever they may be found, I humbly trust no minor difference in matters ofhuman opinion will ever prevent me from duly acknowledging oryielding a just respect. Cunning, and a certain specics of papular talent, he indeed possesses but these only render-him the more dangerous in times of public excitement and illusion. When he first entered Gen. J*eksonY Cabinet I expressed my serious misgivings of tbe result, to Judge McLe

an, (then Postmaster

General) and others and the mischiefs which I apprehended have b&a more than verified. His whole course has been that of a political disorganize^ whenever it could promote his selfish schemes. Party arrangetneiits, and even the sacred ties of personal friendship, have been sacrificed upon the altar of his iosatiate

The Legislature is progressing rapidly, having, we believe, completed more business than baa been mu ti I at this period of the sesrion. Tho ]roninrut mbjects however mostly remain to b? acted on among which we would class the Bank bill, tbe bill proposing a loan for the purpose of making internal improvtmrnts, and the bill to* ported on the Sd instant from tbe coiurniUce. on ways and aiqans, providing for the ad vplorem system of taxution. The notion of the fcegislaturd will sooi) bo had on these subjects, all of which aro af great importance^ An animated discussion took place yasterday, "On a bill introduced sometime ago by Mr. SMITH of Fayette, authorizing the Circuit Court to exercise a discretionary power in grantiug a change of venua in criminal coses. A motion being made by Mr. BIOORII to postpone indcfinntely the further consideration of the bill, it *as supported by tha mover, Messrs. EVANS, HUNTINGTON, STEELS» and WILLETT, and opposed by Messrs. SUIT* of

Fayette, COLKHICK, and BSACIJENRIDOE. Tha motion prevailed by a considerable majority, which ih effect disposes of tbat subject during this session, A bill providing for the privato execution of criminals was yefcter«?ay read a second time in tbe House of Representatives, when a motion was made to postpone indefuiatcly its further consideration, which, after a short speech from Mr. WRIOIIT of Parke in support of tha bill, was determined in the negative.
