The Fort Wayne Sentinel says, that the Canal missioners of the Wabash and Erie Canal have mined to complete the division. thirty-two in length, extending from the vicinity of Fort to Huntington, by the 1st of June next, and that ous measures have been taken to effect this object. enterprising fellow-citizens, Captain Fairfield, is ing a canal packet boat, which is now nearly ready launch. The boat is said to be well modled, and doubtless be finished off in good style. We may therefore congratulate our fellow-citizens of the state ally, upon the prospect of having a commence of canal navigation in Indiana, within a few months.

Luxury of dying by frost.-A paragraph is travelling through the, papers, which states with great gravity, indeed we think very satisfactorily, the immense pleasure of freezing to death. We never enjoyed the benefit of the experiment, bill as the writer expresses himself with so much confidence, it is to be presumed that he has and we do not think it worth while to doubt so well authenticated a case. i—

EDITORIAL CONVENTION.

Many newspaper editors in Indiana have come out in fav or of holding a Convention of Editors in that State— to assemble at Indianapolis, for the purpose of consulting on measures connected With the respectability of the press." Such conventions are generally useful, though not perhaps to the extent anticipated, by their projectors. As a general principle, we should say that the lessening of government patronage would have salutary influence—perhaps more se than any other single measure,-on the" respectability of the press."-Bal-timore Patriot.

1 COMPLIMENT TO MR WEBSTER., "'The Harrisburgh Telegraph of Saturday last contains A correspondence between a committee of both branches of the State Legislature, and the Hon. Daniel Webster. We annex the reply of the distinguished Senator, by which it will he perceived that he was induced to decline the compliment of a public dinner. The invitation was free from any party allusion, whatever, and was signed by Messrs. Strohm. Toland and Smith, on the part of the Senate, and by Messrs. Lacock, Stevens, Lawrence, Walker. M'Culloch, M'Sherrv, and W. B. Reed, on Jim part of the House. Mr. Webster left Harrisburg on Saturday morning for Lancaster. His wife and daughter with him. HARRISBURG, MARCH 19, 1835 Gentlemen:—I cannot he insensible to the honor confarred- on me by those members of the Legislature of Pennsylvania, at whose request you have addressed me your note of this morning. Such a token of respect demands my most sincere and grateful acknowledgment but rny stay in this place must necessarily be short,and I hope I may not be thought wanting in those sentiments, which the invitation ought justly to excite, if, under the circumstances, I ask leave, most respectfully, to decline a Public Dinner.

I cannot conclude this communication, .gentlemen, without expressing the pleasure I have experienced in' the opportunity of seeing the Legislature of Pennsylva--nia renewing the friendly acquaintance which I have heretofore enjoyed with several of its members, and of becoming known to others, their able and worthy associates in legislative duties and 1 add my most fervent wishes for the. success of all, in their zealous endeavors to promise the success of all, in their zealous endeavors member of the American Union, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

Tht Unconscious Clerk.—A few years ago, the clerk at one of the chapels at Birmingham, previous to the commencement or the service, dirtied his hands by putting some coal on the fire, and unconsciously rapping his face, besmeared it so as to resemble a son of Vulcan, He turned into the reading desk, where he naturally attracted great attention, which was considerably increased when he gave out the first line of the hymn." Behold the brightness of my face." The entire congregation could no longer preserve their gravity and an involuntary laugh burst from every corner of the chapel.

Elliott.-*'This gentleman, in reference to the Figure Head, has obtained a most unenviable notoriety. He has succeeded, however in procuring, by this servility, the Command of the largest squadron which our Government keeps afloat, having sailed, a few days ago, to relieve Com. Patterson on the Mediterranean station.— The restoration of the bust of the Old Hero to the bows of the Constitution became an object of the first importance, not only with the gallant Commodore, but with the whole of the Kitchen Cabinet, It was not deemed advisable to attempt it at Boston, and Old Ironside was, therefore, ordered round to N. York, for the sole purpose of receiving the idol. It was hastily affixed and the ship sailed the next morning.—Fredericksburg Arena.

Cylinder Cannon.--Messrs. Allen and Ball, of Springfield, Massachusetts, have invented what they call a cylinder cannon. Upon the cylinder may be placed as many barrels as you please, each barrel capable of making two discharges a second. It was built for a company in Lowell, who have procured for it a patent in thit country and Prance, and have now an agent in England for the purpose of getting its patent there. "It was to us,»' says the Hampden Whig, "altogether a. novel piece of machienry, and the idea Of a cannon being fired, gun after gun, by an operation like that of a body turning a grindstone, struck ui strangely singular.

Fruits of the Season—We understand that a lady in Portsmouth was, on Friday last, delivered of four Boys, two of which are fine healthy children—the other two were dead.

Shaving in Spain,—An Irish gentleman, travelling through Spain, went into a barber's shop te get shaved. The man of foam with great obsequiousness placed his customer on the chair, and commenced operations by spitting on the foam and rubbing It over the-gentlemnn's face.

Blood an ouns!" was tbe illelegant remark of the Irishman, is that the way you shave a gintleman?" at the same time preparing in his wrath to overturn the wig minister. "It is the way we shave a gentleman, senhor."

"Oh,

how do you shave a poor man?" "We spit on his face, and rub the soap over that," was the Spaniard's reply.

EDICT OF GENERAL JACKSON. The Nashville Republican, a paper which has been heretofore considered as the organ of Gen. Jackson in the west, and which has supported him with unvarying zeal, undertook lately to defend the President from the charge of using his influence in favor of Mr. Van Buren for the Presidency, and declared its belief so far as private and persona? feelings were concerned, General Jackson could not do otherwise than prefer Judge White to Mr. Van Buren. The President it seems, on reading the Editor's remarks, became considerably enraged,,and immediately came out in reply in a letter to the Rev. Mr. Gwinn of Nashville, which we give below. We ask, what reader is there who does not see in this letter a barefaced attempt to do that which be sets out with declaring he has carefully abstained from—to-with to interfere in the choice of his successor? The object and intent of the letter manifestly is, to induce his followers, every where, to abandon Judge White and fall into the support of Mr. Van Buren. He might just as well ask his friends directly to support Mr. Van Buren, as to support the Convention, which every man in the country knows well is got up for the purpose of nominating him. To talk about that Convention expressing the voice of the people is too ridiculous to emanate from so high a quarter for it is well known that the Delegates to that Convention were chosen, for the most part, by a

few

office-holders

and office hunters, which'are but other names for Van Buren men. The President knows well that the express object of.that Convention is the nomination of Mr. Van Buren,,and that the friends of Judge White are

WASHINGTON, FEB 25,1835,

My Rev. Sir :——I observe in the Nashville Republican ef the 10th inst., an article headed General Jackson's preferences," ,which I think it my duty to notice.

All my friends know, that since I have been in the Executive chair, have carefully abstained from an interference with the elective franchise and have invariably acted upon tho principle, that to the people belonged the exercise of this sacred right—uninfluenced by any considerations but those which related to the public good. And yet the editor of this paper, professing to entertain great respect for my character, undertakes to connect me personally with an attempt to divide the great body of Republicans in the choice which they are to make of a President and by way of giving effect to his insinuation, appeals in the language of my bitterest enemies, here and elsewhere, to the independence of the people ns a shield against my dictation,'' which he supposes may be attempted.

Everyone must see that the professions of the Editor in that article are made to take the form of friendship, in order that he may more successfully carry out his purpose of opposing the great Republican principles which I have endeavored to advance as President of

the United

States:—

and one of which, not to say the most important, is the necessity of looking above persons in any exigency, which threatens the ascendancy of these principles. All my friends must perceive, that to be consistent, my preference as far as men are concerned, ought to be for him that is most likely to be the choice of the great body of Republicans: and yet, if this individual should not be Judge White, the Editor of the Republi-can-is ready to cry out "dictation."

Under such circumstances, seeing also that there are various misrepresentations of my views on this subject, I commit this letter to your discretion in order that^on may do me justice.

You are at liberty to say on all occasions, that, regarding the people as the true source of political power, I am always ready to bow to their will and to their judgment:—-that, discarding all personal preferences, 1 consider the true policy of the friends of republican principles, to send delegates fresh from the people, to a general convention, for the purpose of selecting candidates for the Presidency and Vice-Presidency; and that to impeach that selection before it is made, or to resist it when it is made as an emanation of Executive power, is to assail the virtue of the people, and in effect, to oppose their right to govern.

I send the paper containing the article I refer to, and request you to show this letter to the Editor, in order that he may no longer misrepresent me. Acknowledge the receipt of this letter.

I am, in haste, your friend,

The Rev. JA'S. GWIN, Nashville, Tenn.

From the Nashville, Western Methodist. A GREAT MAN HAS FALLEN.. The great and good M'Kendree, the senior Bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church, entered into rest at five o'clock, P. M., on Thursday last week, the fifth of March, aged seventyseven years and eight months wanting one day. Had he lived to the sixth of next July his years would have numbered seventyeight but his days were so full of duty that he seemed to have crowded a century of labor in.to the half century of his official life. His remains were laid in the dust by the side of his honored father, in Sumner county, at ten o'clock last Saturday morning.

We feel snch emotions of sorrow as those must feel who have lost an elder brother for the Rev. William McKendree was in official station—in labors—in height of influence and in holiness of life, the elder brother of the American Methodist Church. He has been most emphatically the Shepherd under Christ of the Methodist church in the West and South- West, and in the minds of the immense field of his labor he has dropped his worn-out body, and his spirit has gone upward in the sight of thousands of his spiritual children. Who shall catch his mantle as it falls from the whirlwind chariot of fire? Who shall now go forth before the army of our spiritual. Israel as he has hone for almost fifty years?

A Polar Winter.—About the middle of November we began to feel the approach of a Polar winter. A feeble gleam of light still faintly tinged the southern horizon, while the opposite direction assumed the sombre shade of night.— The almost dazzling whiteness of the grotesque hummocks of ice, that lay scattered in irregular masses on the plane, formed a strange contrast with the soft, purple shade of twilight. The full moon shed its pale lustre on the lonely scene, and the colors which it reflected on the ice were chaste beyond conception. The planets twinkled in their orbs, nnd Jupitor shone brilliantly at the hour our friends in the English Channel might be taking a meridian attitude of the sun. The aurora borealis was often visible, and on one occasion it formed the most perfect arch I ever beheld, rising in a single line of brilliant light in the south east, passing through the zenith, and terminating at the verge of the horizon in the opposite point, thus dividing the circle into two equal parts after this its corruscations were beautiful. The thermometer about this time stood at 308 of Fahrenheit below zero—and when the wind blew, the cutting pain inflicted by the cold on the face—-the only part of the person ex-posed-—can only he compared to the pricking of so many hundred of the fines needles. The frost accumulated So rapidly on the eyelashes, that had not the warmth of the hand been constantly applied, the external margin of the lids would have been frozen.—From an account of the Polar

ANDREW JACKSON

THAMES POLICE

A weather-beaten son of the ocean who stated his name to be Thomas Mars and that he had just returned from a cruise round the world, which had occupied two years, applied to the sitting magistrate. Mr. Ballantine, for the release of his wife, who has been confined in Clerkenwell prison, in default bail, on a charge of assault, since the 1st of Oct.

The

gallant tar said had buffeted many a wave, and weathered many a hard gale, but nothing ever gave him so much path as to see the gal he loved durance vile. When he saw the iron bars which separated her from him, his heart, which was before as hard as steel, melted and gushed out of his eyes in a flood of brine.— He hoped their honors would not allow him to be cast on a lee shore, but kindly grant his reques, or otherwise he should be lost. His wife only would keep him in sailing trim.

Mr. Ballantine. If I was to set your wife at liberty, how would you keep her quiet? Applicant. Oh, your honour knows very well a sailor homeward bound can always keep a gal quiet.

Mr: Ballantine said, he much doubted the applicant's ability to keep his wife peaceable, but still he was disposed to grant his request, but he had seen that the woman was committed in the name of Barrett, and requested an explanation.

The tar said that was his wife's maiden name. Silvester, tbe officer. Oh, your worship, they always go to prison in their maiden names.

Mr. Ballantine. And with their maiden qualities. An order was then signed by the magistrate, and the applicant immediately hired a cub, and with the jailer rode immediately to the prison, where on producing the order his wife was given up tq him,,and he returned triumphantly to the office, where, after entering into sureties for her good behaviour, Sbe was allowed to depart with her husband, who appeared highly elated with the success of his Enterprise, and on leaving the office said, 'Well, it is the first time I was ever before a judge, but I think I done him."

UNION HALL.

The pleasures of Matrimony-- Ned Spivey, a coal-heaver—in point of dress and appearance the prototype of "Dusty Bob," and wearing what is called in that business "fan-tailed shallow," the exact image of that formerly, worn by Walbourn—appeared before Messrs. Gregorie and White, to answer the complaint of Mrs. Mary Spivey, his better half, for refusing to maintain her, and threatening to take her life. Mrs. Spivey, a young and pretty woman, but whose volubility of tongue appeared to be a great tax upon the patience of the Magistrate, said that she had been only married to the defendant since the 1st of December last, and he had married her for ''bit of fortune" she possessed. He had never allowed her anything for a maintenance, and on Wednesday week he threatened to knock her precious head off her shoulders is One Mrs. Day was called as a witness, but her irritability of temper seemed to have so much ascendency over her more tender feelings, that it did not very clearly appear whether her evidence went in favor of her friend or not. She said that Mr. Spivey had "insulted her in the most shockingest manner," and swore that he would "scrush her." The husband, who appeared rather to be one of the hen-pecked breed, and more signed against than sinning, on being called upon for his defence, said, "It's all a lie,your Vorship the very first night as I married this here voman, you see, she goes avay vith another man, and I sleeps all by myself un my vedding night vell,that says nothing, but howsomever I forgives her that caper,and takes her back again,more fool me; vehn vot does she do but runs avay for nine days and nine nights, a sleeping vith votever men she chooses veil, she comes back again, and I takes her in again after this second dodge but Lord bless me, I never had no home, and hot a bit of whittels purvided for me, and so I could'nt a bear-it any longer, and he had brought his brother Jem, vot knew all about it, and was one of the cleverest men in Lunnun." Brother Jem was sworn, but his evidence reflected so strongly upon the character of both ladies, that the office was very near being in a state of uproar, each party recriminating upon the other. This was put a stop to by the Magistrates ordering the defendant to enter into his own recognizance to keep the peace towards his wife and they all left the office, nnd adjourned to a neighboring public house, to take a glass of cordial, and discuss the matter over again. =1 ."BUSINESS TOMORROW" -•&

Said the Theban governor, as he smilingly laid unopened the letter that would have informed him of a conspiracy against his life—"Business to-morrow"—the answer was his death warrant, and he sealed it with a smile! That night he was assassinated. Whoever has read history, and investigated the causes of great events, cannot have failed to note how often the scale, of success has been turned solely by the weight of time: and yet, as if in defiance of reason and experience how many are in the daily practice of putting off business till to-morrow" which should be done to-day: and this, too. rather from habit than from indolence.- There is no subject upon which there have been more maxims established than this no theme more fruitful to the preacher than the value of time still the waste of it is the source of failures, poverty, and even death.

Now, the business is put off till "to-morrow," and then the succor comes "too late." There is not, a more universal error than procrastination none so insidious, and none productive of more misery. None so insidious—for we often hear men descanting upon the folly of wasting time who are in the daily practice of deferring what could and should be done at once. Strange fatality? that blinds, to ruin us. This foible is common to all classes of society—the merchant puts off the insurance of his ship, which was wrecked yesterday" till tomorrow the farmer puts off his harvesting till tomorrow and then finds that "last night'' the frost destroyed his crop—the carpenter defers building till" another day," until death approaches him with

Your house is finished, sir, at last, A narrow house—a house of clay, Your palace for another day."

The Mobile Register says that a gentleman lately arrived in that city from the North, and being asked how it happened that he was three days ahead of the mail, gravely replied, "I got out of the stage and walked."

The Mobile anecdote is so good "and so much like an occurrence which we happen to be cognisant of in the land of pumpkins, that we are suspicious that it is a plagiarism. An old acquaintance of ours who used to superintend A diligence between the rood cities of N. L. and H.,and who was really one of the best natural Jehus in the round world, and the most accommodating and kind hearted withal, had the misfortune (o own a team of the most rascally scarecrows, that ever needed assistance from the"Society for the amelioration of fodder among stage horses" His steeds being kept upon the low pressure principle as it regarded provender, were not, it must be acknowledged.very prominent candidates for the prize of a first medal "to the swift of foot." Their velocity never reached the point of personal danger to the passenger, unless indeed there might be some peril of starvation between one eating house and another. Our stage driver we have already said was a good natured fellow, and so he was for having one day, overtaken a man on foot, some what wearied, to all appearance, by his extra exertions to get ahead, the benevolent mail carrier asked him to "get in and ride." "I am greatly obliged to you," says the pedestrian, "but I'm in a hurry.

Caution to young thieves by an old one.—A fellow named Willoughhy, lately arrived from London, was committed a few days since for a petit larceny. Durxog the short time of his detention ia the oil prison, previous to being sent out to Bridewell he wrote the following couple eouplat with charcoal on tbe walls of the cell:—

The Paris Tennesseean, in remarking upon this promised hew paper at Nashville, says:— "It is said the 'UKJON' wilt support Mr. Van Buren for thife Presidency. If this be so, we doubt whether it will receive patronage enough in this State to sustain it. The people here knew enough about tbe "Little Magician"—they can't votefor him: they teill not, vote for a man who is as changeable as a weathercock."—Ball. Pat.

A letter from Washington says—"The old hero is committed on the controversy between Ohio nnd Michigan. He goes for Michigan, and some of the Ohio delegation (Jackson) swear vengeance in case he goes against their State.,

Buren tells the Ohio men that the State is right, and that they ought to preserve, but recommends caution and prudcnce and non committal, until he gets the vote of both Ohio aud Michigaif."

He lived about six hours after tbe accident his borne was in Lancaster."
