Eor Lieutenant Coloncly JOSEPH CAMPBELL for Major ' CHARLES WILSON. Inconsequence of the high waters, the papersjdue us on Saturday have not yet been received, which is the only apology we hare to offer for the matter contained in this week's paper. Our situation in regard to the mails is very inconvenient and perplexing; the mail from the eas, which is the principal one, arrives once a week (on Satvrday)atthit place, which places it beyond our power to lay before our readers any acws.that is not a week old in this place; and to change the day of publication, would make no material alteration, & none for the btter. When but one mail per week is received, we have either to sutler our papers to remain iti the Tost Office a w eek, or publish that which has been on hands a week. It strikes Us that our Representative in Congress when a candidate, promised to use his exertions ia order to remedy this evil which it greatly felt and deprecated by the citizens of this section ef country; shall we be forgotten? Will there b no hand to administer to our wants! We trow not. It only requires an explanstion of the facts in -regard to cur situation, to have our prayer ranttc1. The Kprrt of the PoM Master General represents th sf?V of t!e Depirtniprt a.--being in the most flourishing c-H tin, vx-A-i'ng some sixty tlmisnJ d. liars of a surplus revenue, and will the paltry sum necessary to defraj the expense incurred by the change we ask, be refused! certainly not. o::::::::o THE RANK. The Louisville Advertiser" says, "The iBank of the United States has petitionee Congress, to renew its charter. In the Senate, the petition was referred to a select , Committee, composed of Messrs. Dallas ebster, lUyne, t.winsr, and Johnston. In the House, it was referred to the Committee of Ways and Means, by a vote of 100 l tie tjommmee or ays and Cleans i$ compose! of "Messrs. 'Duftie, Verplanck,Inrrsol, Gilmore, Alexander, Wild and Cither. To judge the future by the past, e are disposed to believe that the' Dank be re-chartered. And we think the tote taken on referring the Petition to the Committee of Ways and Means a tolerably fair exhibit of the strength of parties upon that subject; inasmuch as the chairman of that Committee, has already distinguished himself as a devoted frieud of the Bank, and but little fcepe can be entertained by the opponents of the Bank, that he will report otherwise than favorable. That our readers mar be the better pre-j - pared to draw a correct conclusion in regard to the subject w give below & Tew short extracts from the opinbns of persons whose opportunities of becoming -acquainted with the subject are not surpassed by any. The first remarks are from tbe Hon. William. 11 Crawford. "I was Secretary of the Treasury more than eiidit ye?rs, and during that time I hnd ample evidence of the great utility of the Bank of the United States, in managing the fiscal concerns of the LTnion. I am persuaded that to man. wr.aiever ms preconceived opinions may be, can preside over the Treasury one year, withont being deeply impressed with the expediency of the r?sk of the United States, in ccructingthe finance of the Union.' In regard to the power possessed by Conrress, fror.i under the Constitution, Mr. Crawford saye: "The provision In the constitution wbwh gites Congress the power to f4fi All taws which may be necessary nd prcper to carry into effect tho o

numerated powers, gives Congress the right to pass the Bank hill, unless n law most proper to -carry into effect the pow er to collect and distribute revenue, should be excluded bv that provision. My construction of tho grant of power to pass all laws which may be necessary to carry the enumerated powers into effect includes the fyomcr to pass all eras which are necessary and proper to carry the enumerated powers into effect in the most perfect and complete m!.nnerynd not in an incomplete and imperfect manner.'' The present able end efficient Secretary of the Treasury, Ikuus MT.ean, expresses himself upon the subject of ths Bank in the following conciliatory manner. ' ' "Tire experience of the Depart ment in the trying periods of its history, and the convictions of his own judgment concurrms?wuh thocs of the eminent men who have proceeded the underlined in its administration, -induce

him to recommend the expediency of rccharicrinn the present bank at the proprr fiW,withsuch modifications,as, with out impairing its usefulness to the government and the community, may be calculated to recommend tt to the ap probation of the Executive, ami what is vitally important to tho confidence of the people. "Independently of the considera tions connected with the currency, the interests both of the Government and individuals involved in the Bank of the United States make the stability of that institution an object of great importance. No reason is perceived why this great interest should not be couallv considered in the scheme of deference and concession and compromise which the public safety, not less than the national prosperity, so urgently recommends. While conflict ing interests and opinions other sub jects arc invited to meet on middle grounds, and. on the altar ot the common good, each to offer something for the preservation of concord and union throughout this favored land, the ndr vocatcs and orposers of the existing system for reguiating the ourrency may also bc expected to join in the same patriate sacrifice." Considering tbe sources from whence these sentimeatacminate the opportunities presented to their authors of becoming informed upon the subjectand -the circumstances attending all combine more strongly to enforce a conviction of the correctness of the opinions expressed. Let each raa.n judge for himself. o:::;t:;:o General Robert Lucas, of Ohio, has been nominated by the late Jackson State Con vention as a candidate for Governor. o::;;::::o The vote in the Hoube of Representatives, on the final passage of the Canal Bill, stands recorded as follows: Ayet, Messrs.

IK Hr.ijcrsT. From the Political Clarion. THE DEBATE. We have examined attentively, the remarks by Messrs. Ewing,'l)umont and Hayes', in the State Senate, on the jomt resolution relative to the American System and the re-chartcrinjcof the United States Bank. We think that the effort of Mr. Ewing reflects much credit hpoh himself and the state. It is net often that we find public men assuming so Vofty,high minded and independent a bearintr. Tho dearest in terest of thecountry. in the hands of ot such men, arc safe men "Whj know their right?, And knowing, dare maintain." Mr. Hayes defends that resplendent 'escutcheon in Otc tablet of .Indretc Jackson,' entitled the Veto. And by the way, presents the public with a fourcolumned rigmarole of as hollow and senseless trash as is to be found any where else in the annals of Jatksonism, His remarks were evidently "intended for rabble rousing they arc entirely too turgid, too bombastic, too sublimated for serious consideration. Mr. H. has undoubtedly learned to think and demonstrate by blowing up soap-bubbles through a goose quill; and it may be pretty fairly conjectured that he has studied elocution by drumming on an old whiskey barrel with a pair ofcorncobs. Whilst perusing this spcechification, we were frequently reminded of an harangue which is said to have been perpetrated by some ambitious member of a village debating club. Hup' piness was the theme for discussion. I he incipient wemosthenes arose with considerable prompoity of demeanor, and throwing himself into as imposing an attitude an may be, thus held forth: "Mr. President, happiness is like a crow perched upon yonder's mountainwhich, when you reproach vanishes, like the schit malic tints of the conrclescent rain-bowT' 'From the Indiana Journal. LYDMX.l LEGISIj.1 TURE. A subject which has excited considerable interest viz: th? ratification of an actof the Legislature of Ky. incorporating a company to build a bridge across the Ohio river at the Fallsoccupied the attention ol the Senate for several days during the close of the last and the commencement of the present week, and a bill for that purpose finally passed yesterday morning, and was sent to the House of Representatives for toncurrcncc.-l. onsiderable debate took place on the various amendments proposed to the bill. Ve arc not an prised exactly of the provisions of the , bill; but wre believe it passed in such a shape as comported with the views of those most interested inlhp measure. In the House -of Representatives, something liki a veto has been put upon the subject of divorces. Two bills on this subject were yesterday posponcd indfinitely, and it is believed that will be the fate of all similar bills pending in the House of Representatives. A majorityof the-membcrs, it is believ ed, are apposed to the principle of granting divorces by the Legislature. A supplemental canal bill is in progress and willdoubllcss,nass, which provides lor a sale of the lands. 1 he minimum price of the lands is fixed at $1 50, and lands that do not sell arc to be afterwards subject to be entered as Congress lands are. The bill as originally introduced provided that the sale should take place in May next, but it has been amended so as to postpone the sale until October, on the ground that sufficient publicity could not be given by the time first mentioned. A bill introduced sometime ago, making voluntary prosecutors liable for costs in certain cases, has been postponed indefinitely. A bill is pendinig, providing for the repeal of that part of the I3th section of the act regulating the practice in suits at law which enables a defendant on making afiidafit that a plaintiff has no just cause of action, &c. to compel a resident plaintiff to give security for costs. The judiciary committee, we understand, have come to the determination to impeach Alfred J. Athon, a justice of the peace ef Lawrence county. The trial of 'ihe case by the Senate will probably commence the last of the present of the first of the-ensuing week . The session, it-is thought, will continue the whole of next week at least, and probably a considerable portion of the succeeding week. ... In giving a brief abstract, in our last paper, of the provisions of the supplemental canal bill, we staled the mini

ma ni piece of the lands was $1 50. Thu statement was not euflkiontly full

Tho bN provides that the lands shnl be divd into thro classes, the mini mum prices of which are fixed as fol low: l'or the first class $3 50; for the 'Jd clas t 50 and 'or lc 3d class 51). In publishing m, the last paper, the veasnnd nays on the motion of Mr. Ciume to postpone inuehnitely the iur ther consideration oi me oiu prepara tory to the introduction of the advalo rem system of taxation, a typographic al error occurred in inserting Mr. Mastin's name on both sides of the question. Mr. M. voted in the negative on that proposition. A bill for the erection of a Stale House was introduced into the Senate csteray by Mr. Orr, which passed to a second reading, A resolution was offered yesterday by Mr. Graham, instructing the committee on the affairs of the town ol Indian apolis to report a bill, providing for the sale and the removal of the buu ding on the Governors Cricle, prcpa ntory to the erection of a State J louse thereon, and before the question was taken on its adoption the hour arrived, at which, by a rule of the Senate, the orticrs ol the day arc taken up. In the House of Representatives, the engrossed bill from the senate to rati fy and confirm an act of the Legisla lure of Kentucky incorporating a Com pany to construct a bridge across the Ohio river at the Falls, has been the all-absorbing subject for two or three days. A number of amendments were oflercd, which will be found in our re ports of Legislative proceedings. None of the amendments were adopted, and the bill was finally passed by a large majority the vote being, lor the bill 53, against it 20. The propositions to amend received orrsiderabIv more vote3 than were -given, against the pas3 age ol the bill. 'On a proposition to amend the act so as to allow the 6tatc of Indiana, at the cj piration of twenty years, to purchase one-half of the stock, an animated and eloquent debate took place, in which the Hon. Speaker and several other gentlemen participated. not her cheat. Roxcs of Scgars have lately been sold at I'ittsburgjPenn. all but the upper tier being corn c.obs Vcstcrn Rejrislcr. Negligence in reading sometimes produces whimsical coincidences.

Canal revenue By a statement in the Albany Journal, tre learn that the tolls collected this year on the several canals in this state, amount to $1,222,423 51 being an increase over those of last year oi about $1G0,000. The fund applicable to the payment of the tanal debt, on the 1st of January, will be about $2,000,000; which "will reduce the debt to 4,100,000. The canal revenues will be annually increasing and it is believed they will be amply sufficient in three or four years to pay offthc whole debt, atter which the state will be in the receipt of about two millions of dollars annually.- Ontario Repository. CANAL NAVIGATION, On a nero Plan. An ingenious mechanic of Chillicothe Mr. Wm M'Carrcll, has constructed a Vehicle which,from the description given of it, appears admirably calculated for running on the canal, when the severity of the weather renders the usual mode of navigation impracticable. It partakes of the nature of a sleigh and a canal boat;' being fixed on runners; so as to move on" the ice with great rapidity, and is made water tight, in order that it may float in case of breaking through. It came up to this place on Wednesday evening, with a number of passengers; and wc have been informed by some of our fellow citszens who have taken a ride in it that it is a very easy, 6afe, and comfortable mode of conveyance. It is the intention of the proprietor we understand, to run it regularly between Ghillicothc and Columbus so long as the season will permit, should he meet with sufficient encouragement. Oratory of the JBar. Speech should be rendered musical to the car. The looking-glass should bo constantly resorted to in order that every pleader may become acquainted with his own peculiar countenance, looks, and, thus avoid what might be grotesque ad defective. It is a recorded fact, that the great Lord Mausfield adopted this course, aud was once detected making

speech before his glass' by Lord Bolinbroke, and to that useful study is attri buled the meritorious manner and style that characterized that learned lord.
