The defect is remedied in the presuch as Mr. Clay's bill for a distribution of the proceeds of the public lands, the renewal of the charter of the bank of the United States, with some projects, perhaps, concerning the judiciary, and with reference to our foreign relations and domestic concerns. Political parties, properly so called, have been thrown into confusion-and many new rules of action may be expected to appear. New men will also present themselves in the arena, under new excitements and with fresh motives. And besides the struggles and juggles which may come out of desires for office, or be engendered by other personal considerations-several great principles are to be determined; and hence a bustling time may be looked for. We desire to go along quietly and smoothly, and rather furnish materials for the guidance of others, than take an earnest part in the discussions about to ensue; but if the latter appears "necessary and proper," we shall not be found wanting in attempts to support old principles, with all our former industry and zeal-while maintaining a "decent respect" for the opinions of all men, and avoiding the "collar" of persons and parties, as heretofore. The means acquired to give value to this work as a mere register, shall be freely used and impartially applied; and it is hoped, also, that new matter will not be wanting to excite, or keep up, a present interest in its reception by its numerous friends.

With respect to the operation of this constitution, the "Natchez Courier" says "From present appearances, we should judge that it would not be long before our good citizens find themselves, not in the state of Mississippi, but in the state of glorious confusion. The laws are worthy of the constitution, and the constitution is worthy of the laws; they are alike creditable to the makers. To have been a member of the convention of either legislature, should be considered sufficient glory for one man,"

An interview was about to take place between the emperor of Russia and king of Prussia-to settle the affairs of Poland. "To the victors belong the spoils."

WATER-POWER. With the limited knowledge we possess, it is impossible to make a rough guess of the waterpower of the United States which yet remains unoccupied. But, perhaps, it may be safely said, that one-fiftieth part is hardly yet in use, even in the old states; very many eligible sites for grain and other mills, of the first class, are without the range of present usefulness, because of the difficulty of approaching them, and hence their distance from market-but such difficulty is every day diminishing, by roads and canals, steamboats and rail road cars, &c. For an example-the Canada liue is now about as near to the city of New York, as was the city of Albany 30 or 40 years ago as to the time for travel and of transportation. And, as these roads and canals are extended, the manufacture of all sorts of commodities, (in which power is needed), will be cheapenedespecially of ponderous articles; a considerable part of A report of the case recently decided at Trenton, N.

We think it not unreasonable to saythat Mr. Clay's project concerning the public lands, if We believe that another like case is about to come up carried into effect, the annual proceeds of these lands, before the circuit court of the United States, for the dis-(say three millions), being expended on internal improvetrict of Pennsylvania; and, it is most probable, that certain great principles to be fully established, will be finally settled by the supreme court at Washington. And on this important results may depend-for instance, it is said that large sums of money, bequeathed to orthodox congregationalists in Massachusetts are in the hands of Unitarians, and that they hold them by the doctrine of numbers; which doctrine, though supported by judicial VOL.

ments, would cheapen the cost of transportations six millions a year, as soon as that sublime plan could obtain a moderate share of the power which rightfully belongs to it. An investment then of capital which shall yield. an interest of 200 per cent. must be a wise one-for, reduced prices of indispensable domestic productions, or foreign commodities, because of reduced charges for transportation, are as much a profit to the people, as in

But would it be rash to say, that the present transportations through Pennsylvania and Maryland, to and from the shores of the Ohio and its waters, if measured by the rates for carriage as they stood 30 or 40 years since, annually save a larger sum than the whole amount expended on the national road, the Baltimore and Ohio rail road, and the various and great works of Pennsylvania, leading from the east to the west? We think not.

This train of thought occured on seeing a letter from that celebrated engineer, B. Wright, esq. which says, that, in the heart of New York, and on the border of the Erie canal, there is an unoccupied water-power at the Little Falls of the Mohawk, sufficient to carry 800,000 spindles, in the dryest season. What then is the power at the Great Falls of that river, adjacent to the capital of the state? And of other sites on that more noble river, the Hudson, proper, the whole body of which, except so much as is required to feed the northern canal, may be used at several places-in the midst of rich lands, and a dense and industrious population?

asylum for the oppressed"-the hope and pride of all men who love liberty. And so they will, if the character of the people be not essentially changed. We must expect to encounter seasons of what may be called political insanity-when senseless clamor, urged by selfish or ambitious men, shall overcome just discriminations between right and wrong; but if the body of the people remains sound at heart-re-actions will follow, and benefits, perhaps, proceed out of errors committed.

Through a highly protected and mightily excited industry, the productive power of the English population has reached an unrivalled extent; but as this power of production advanced, the wants of the government increased-and, while science added immeasurably to the creation of values in England, the comforts of the people were steadily diminished; until now, (1833) about one in every five or six of the population are actual paupers: for the government, secular and ecclesiastic, with the poor rates themselves, and various other requisitions, "takes from the mouth of labor the bread which it earns. Herein may be seen one of the leading causes of pauperism. The "glory," as well as the power of the English It is pleasant to look forward-and, as it were, by cast-government, seems built upon the privations of the laboring our eyes into futurity, discover what our country may ing classes, and their reduction to the minimum amount become under a wise administration of the general go- of food on which a capacity to labor can be maintained. vernment-in which is "vested the power to "regulate commerce" between the states or with foreign nationsand which, also, has means to aid and encourage works of internal improvement, to every desirable extent. It has been said by one of our sages, that "an armed people and an unarmed magistracy is the best security for freedom;" and it is not less appropriate to assert-that a prosperous and wealthy population, and a poor and carefully watched public treasury, are the best guaranties against corruption, whether of the people themselves, or in their public servants. It is a great misfortune, when a distribution of the "loves and fishes" of office enter into the consideration of political parties, fighting for the "spoils."

In the year ending March 25, 1832, there was levied in England for poor rates £8,255,315 12s. out of which there was expended for the relief of the poor £6,731,181 10s. There was an increase of three per cent. on the average of England compared with the rates of the preceding year.

According to Colquhoun's tables the population of England in 1801, was 8,331,434; in 1811-9,538,827.

And in 1801, the population of England and Wales being 8,872,980, the paupers were 1,040,716-viz: adults permanently 336,199-do. occasionally 305,899-children permanently 315,150-in the work houses 83,486. Being nearly one-eighth of the whole number of the in

habitants.

And it is also worthy of serious remark, that the pau pers are less numerous in the chief manufacturing dis triets, than in the richest grain-growing counties of Eng. land.

The present amount of paupers in England and Wales is somewhere about 1,500,000-(we speak without book) and they are increasing, notwithstanding the export made to Australasia, Canada, and the United States, &c. and the "cheeks" exerted in the shipment of cargoes o females to Van Dieman's Land, &c.

On these the greatest and most general attributes of fertility: subjects a large volume might be advantageously written, wherever the surface is covered with the most abundant and read.

The general progress of population, wealth and power, in most civilized nations, when compared with our own, is like the pace of a snail compared with the flight of an antelope; and hence the greater necessity imposed on us of looking as well to the future as to the present state of things. Men of the present generation have had to legislate, in advance, for new states which now contain more than three millions of free people-for one example out of the many important ones which might be adduced; and hence, instead of boasting of what we have been, (as is so common in the ancient Out of such an excess of pauperism in England follows kingdoms and states of Europe), it is the pride of our this effect-that labor is performed at the lowest rate or fellow citizens to anticipate what their country and their which "soul and body can be kept together."
