The rema ining fact to be considered is the op

peal again to actual results to answer this que
tion. The district system has been in operatic
for three sessions, including that for which an
election has taken place. And what is the fnc ?
In two of these elections, the democratic party
had the mn jorfy of the Senate, and the Whig:*
in one. Does this show Whig unfaimesn,
any disposition to legislate themselves into u
perpetual majority of this body? Truth and
common sense must answer the question, that

provo that t hey had legislated an advantage to thoir

the intention. It was to make a just and proper

everything testifies are about equally balanced.—
Tins they accomplished, as the results conclusive

With sin h a state of facts before the country,

Rats.— satwnal Rate and Sub-treasury Hat*
—We find the following excellent hit in the cor
respondence of the Mobile Advertiser, from Mari
etta, Georgia.
“ by tin* way,us imperial)! facts in natural his
tory should ulwaya be recorded, allow iiilm. jot
down an in blent which shows tho progress ol tin
animal creation in young'America' in theao latter
days. Among other articles which a friend ot
mine—a m. t enant m Augusta—bad stored in his
cellar, were several boxes of olive oil in Plot once
Husks. These are always packed standing up
right, and are never corked, the mouth being*
stooped with a turf of cotton. Going down the
cellar one day rtaher more quietly than usual, my
friend happened to cast his eyes in the direction of
the olive oil, and saw a couplo of large rats at
work on one of the boxos, from which tho cover
bad been partially removed. Ho had waited a
moment to watch thoir movements, when to his
astonishment, one of the rsts look tho tail of the
other in his mouth, and directed it into tho neck of
a flask of oil, wheteupon tho firat slid down, dipp
ed his tail as far into the flask a« he could reach,
and immediately withdrew it, dripping with oil.
The second rai then commenced licking tho oily
appendage with great apparent satisfaction, the
the tail was again plunged into the bottle, and the

Amsrfsaa sad Canada sida of ths Niagara River.
Dr. Dixon, an English traveler, in his “ Tour
In America,” draws the following contrast be
tween the people on the American and Canada
aide of the Niagara River. The difference is al
most ss great as if they belonged to different hem
ispheres; and it would appear that they are no
nearer alike now, than when we were at the same
places, more than a fourth of a century ago:
14 Every book I had read, and every person with
whom I had conversed, after visiting America and
Canada, united in their testimony as to the great
difference instantly felt on passing tho boundary-
line; and this change seemed always to be repre
sented in favor of Canada ; while any attempt at
pointing out the nature of this contrast, its cutises
and its characteristics, has never, so far as I know,
been attempted. The fact in indisputable. It is
not a manor of reasoning, of inference, of opinion;
it is instantly felt, as much as in going out of a
warm room into a cold atmosphere. What is it
which produces the change ? The preference is,
of course, a rnatterof taste. The American tem
perament is by some generally preferred, and by
others the Canadian.
Isit us look ut the case. On the American side,
the people arc all life, elasticity, buoyancy, activi
ty ; on the Canadian side we have a people who
appear subdued, tame, spiritless, as if living much
more under the intliiencc of fear than hone.—
Again: on the American territory wc behold men
moving as it the) Imil the idea that their chllitij*
was to act, to choose, to govern—at onv rate to
govern themselves; on the Canada soil we see a
race, perhaps more polite than tho other, hut who
hc< hi to live line, r me impression mat tlieir vo
cation is to receive orders, and obey. Then, on
the American side, you are placed in the midst ot
incessant hustle, agitation; the hotels are filled,
coaches arc in constant movement, railroad trains
passing and repassing with their passengers,
while men of business are seen pushing their
concerns with impassioned ardor. On the (’ana-
da shore we have comparatively still life; delicate,
genteel and formal. Moreover, outlie America,
territory, all along the shores of the lakes, tli
country is being cleared, houses and village-
built, works put up, incipient ports opened, and
trade begun. On the Canada shore, unbroken
forest appears for miles, while the amall openings
which have been made present themselves to view
in a very infantine and feeble state of progress.
All this was exhibited nt once at our hotel it
self. We hud been put down iu the town of Ni
agara on (lie American side, in the midst of an
active population, and hastened at once to one of
several largo hotels. Besides being splendidly
fitted up, it was full of people. In my ignorance
I had imagined that we were to take up our resi
dence nt this place, and hastened to engage u
room : in this attempt I found it difficult to obtain
accommodation nt all, and failed altogether in se
curing a chamber which commanded a view of
the Kails. We crossed over to the Canadian vil
lage, and found an equally commodious inn ; but
the contrast was most striking. The saloon to
which we were directed was equal to one of the
American dining-rooms, capable of accomiuodut-
ing front one hundred and fifty to two hundred per
sons. What was the company ? When dinner
was announced, about ten persons sat at one end
of a prodigious table, receiving the good things of
Providence in perfect silence, except as broken
by somo common-place phrases of politeness.
There sat at our table, 611 this and on all other
occasions, an old lady, the perfect personification
of tho stntn of things around us. This lady bad
a dowager-like appearance and air, the quintcs-
ccnce of politeness, with studied movements and
manners, us if she had been in tho observance of
punctilios for fifty years. Her dress, head-gear,
and ornaments, had been adjusted as if for a ball
room. Now these are the things which, nodoubt,
please many of our vtiyagcurs from this country,
and cause them to consider Canadian society as
transcendantly aliove that of tho United Htntcs.—
The sight of that old lady would settlo the ques
tion at once on the scoro of gentility; and espe
cially when it in added, that ut the Canada hotel
the gentlemen nnd ladies take wine at dinner, and
at the other side of the border this ia not the
fashion.
There is another striking difference between
the Americans nnd the Canadians. In the first
mentioned country, ideas, sentiments, opinions—
in fine, knowledge seems to he considered a com
mon stock. Tin* people sit with tlieir legs across
a chair-buck, or place them in some other ele
vated position, and talk ut tlieir ease. On (lie
other hand the Canadian |«opIe seem tossy, “ Do
you not know that I am u gentleman ? Keep
your distance, sir." Then, again, the American
officer nover forgets that lie is a citizen, and the
citizen docs not forget that lie is a mall; tlieir in
tercourse is perfectly easy, free, unembarrassed;
tho one class never assumes un air of superiority;
the other never lowers lii.s status, or yields up liis
consciousness of equality, or his self-respect.—
Ou the other hand, the Canadian officer never re
moves from his standing of assumed dignity, or
condescends to Ih*coiiio tho citizen; I10 rarely
amalgamates with the people; and they, on their
part, uh seldom think of steeping beyond their line.

Bold Lea? for Liberty—Convict Shot At
Michigan State penitentiary, week before last, a
negro named Ano»raon, confined for inunler, after
getting off bia bell and chain with a cold chisel
with which he worked in tlie yard, ascended n

he made a desperate leap twenty-two fret down

ami claiming equality. Them* artificial distinc
tions have u powerful and obvious effect. The
manners of the Canadian population, being thus
regulated, appear much more in accordance with
European notions than their neighbors. This
circumstance, no doubt, causes the one class to
be decried ns vulgar, and the other to lie praised
as polite. Tho opinion, as wo have said, is n
matter of taste. They who desire to see nature

who admire it most under the restraints of distinc

Annexation of Canada— Protest.—-The mem
bers of tho legislature, in session at Montreal,
have published the following protest against the
pro|Rised annexation of Canada to the United
Htatos.
" Wo the undersigned, menders of the Provin
cial legislature, residing in the city of Montreal
mid its vicinity, have read with astonishment and
regret a certain address to the peoplo of Canada,
recently published by divers persons, with the
avowed intention of exciting in the midst of our
Imputation a movement in favor of the separation
of this province front Great Britain, nnd of its an
nexation to the United States of Ameirca.
‘ Sincerely attached to the institutions which
the mother country has acknowledged, and con
vinced that those institutions suffice, through a
system of wise and judicious legislation to secure
prompt and efficient remedies for all the evils
which this province can complain of, we consid
er ourselves urgently hound to protest publicly uiul
solemnly agniust the opinions enunciated tit that
document.
“ We deem it our duty, at the same time, nnd
without awaiting the concurrence of the other
members of the legislature—upon the approval
of whom, with few exceptions we may, however,
confidently rely—to appeal to the wisdom, the
love of order, and the Itonor of the inhabitants of
this country, and to call upon them to oppose, by
every means in their power, an agitation tend
ing to subvert a constitution which after having
been long and earnestly sought for, was received
with feelings of deep gratitude towards the met
ropolitan government—an agitation, moreover,
whirl) can result in nothing beyond the continua
tion of tho scenes from which this city has already
so severely suffered, the disturbance of social or
der, nod a renewal of the troubles, commotions
and disasters which we have hud to deplore in
tunca now past.

The French Question.
We Hliould judge that the opposition papers gener
ally, aud the Union in particular, occupy a position
rather unenviable in relation to tho difficulty between
our government nnd tho late French Minister. Tho
history of thnt difficulty is fresh in the remembrance
of onr readers. Tito representative of Fraud
getting or probably never having known tho respect
due to the government nnd people of the United Stab
wilfully or ignorantly insulted the Executive iu Iiih of
ficial corres|K)iideuce, nnd repented Lhe itiHull after hnv
ing Ikscii warned of tho impropriety and cautioned of
the consequences. Complaint was made directly to
tho French Government, and no redrew received, fu
thin position of thinga, old Zucb, determined to vindi
cate the honor and protect from iiiHult tho character
of his couulry, told tho resident minister to luku his
passports and do his walking.
Every man, not blinded by prejudice or influenced
by something worse, felt that tho President acted uh
became tlio Chief Magistrate of n great nation. Not
the conductors of tho Union, aud others who gener
ally follow iu tho wako of the file leader. To them
the conduct of tho President was most revolting. He
and Iiih Secretary of Statn have been by them in out
unsparingly abused for the determination, so seasona
bly evinced, not to ho insulted and hrow-heuten hy an
upHtart envoy of even republican Franco. Our Exec
utive must submit to the iuHull* of an ignoramus, suc
cumb to tlio dictation of nn ill-bred agent of u foreign
country, and bow down the nut annulled reputulion of
the American government at the feet of Mr. Poumiu,
ill order to satisfy tlio strange notions of national honor
which have of late grown tip ill the bosonm of bis op
ponents. For other tilings the President may be con-
Hiirable, but for bis conduct ill the matter alluded to,
ho will lm sustained by a vast majority of the people
of the United Stutes.
Thors is one thing connected with the history of this
difficulty that ought to niuke old Ritchie and his coad
jutors feel deeply the degradation into which thoir con
duct lias plunged them. It is this. Whilst they have
been denouncing the President for his course, that
course is approved hy the civilized world. Even
France herself, after receiving tho insolent language
of her repreHcntativo here, has disavowed his conduct,
and left him to the tender mercies of the Union and
its iiiidcrstrikers. Will they still persist in tlieir abuse 1
Will they continue to pour the vials of their wrath oil

Abuse of tho Cabinot.
The |H*ople of this country have noticed for some
month*, nnd doiihtlesH with some surprise, the ceaseless
abuse by the New York llcruld of Gen. Taylor's
Cabinet. Nobody lias been abb' to find any justifia
ble cause for tlio newborn hostility of our cotemporary,
and some more sagacious than others, were beginning
to conclude that some fault of monstrous enormity had
been discovered by the Herald, that had escaped the
eyes of all otlierH. Just, however, as wo were about
to arrive at tho same reasonable conclusion, the fol
lowing explanation from the Courier and Enyniier
met our eye, which makes the whole matter as clear
as mud:
“The incessant abuse of a notorious morning pnj*er
upon the 1'uhiuet, especially upon tho Secretary of
Slate, i* properly characterized and estimated in a com
munication which we publish this morning. Forrnr
own part we attach not the slightest consequence to the
efforts of the prim in question, upon whatever side they
tuny U> pul forth. It will exert just alioiit its much agen
cy in destroying the I'ahinel n* it did in electing the
President. Its nhuse, where private character alone is
concerned, may well he deprecated. For disparaging
publicity, no mailer from what source it may come, is hi
such cases a positive injury. But upon any question of
public interest or of public |Hiliey, we do not Udicve u
exerts on the public mind the faintest pmsible ii.lliienct
of any kind. It chum* to he “ indejteiideiit," and it it
so—independent of every thing like principle upon every
subject. It Ims no opinion* upon any topic, whatever.
In (minim, religion, personal questions, literary, com
mercial or siM-i’il matters, in every thing of either pub
lic or private concern, it is just a* ready to espouse on*
side a* another. It has no creed, maintains no fixed sen
timent*, claims to tie fettered hy no principle whatever
It write* and prints everyday what suits the whim of
tho moment, or promise*, bv ministering to nnv passion
or impulse of the dnv, to promote the sale ot the paper.
Thi* is its only rule of conduct—the sole end at w hich it
aims. Every one at all familiar with its course, under
stand* perfectly that it i* ready to advocate or oppose
any system, to praise or denounce any person, to putF
or abuse any thing, according to the |ms»ion of the
mein, or the proltable effect on the sale of it* sheet,
“The universal knowledge of this fact Ims deprived it*
opinion* on any public question of all weight and tvspee
It exerts no influence whatever upon any department,
of public affair* ; and no public man, who i* not absurd
ly sensitive to animadversion, care* a straw for its prana
or its censure. The cause of it* attacks upon the Cabi
net is evident. Immediately upon the election of Gener
al Taylor, it claimed to have mode him President. Day
after day, with a sublimity of impudence peculiar to it
self, it assured General Taylor that, but for it* efforts,
he never could liuve lieen elected. It* columns at the
same time teemed with articles proving that the sulva-
jion of General Taylor'* Administration could only be
fecured by giving all the Government n hr’"tie ing to the
“ independent" pres*. While this net-work wa* being
skilfully laid, and a desperate resolution wa* tlm* man
ifested to quarter itself on the Government, it announced
that, for the special accommodation of thi* expected ad*
I verttsmg, it would issue a double sheet,—first
weekly, and then daily. All thi-* wa* loudly trumpeted
day after day, and week after week. The President,
Cabinet, and every IhmIv connected with either,
vUiitHl with the most fulsome flattery they were all
assured that they owed their political existence to its ex
ertions :—private notes were w ritten to them ntdtx ulual*
ly, offering them the unrestricted use of it* column* for
whatever they might desire to say ; the necessity of giv
ing to it all the u.lverttsmg of the Government v
steadily enforce*!:—the issue of the double sheet,
fond antici|iation, was commencedand towering
hopes were entertained ol Incoming de facto the G
emment organ, in all essential respect*.
“While these illusion* lasted, all w ent well. But they
soon began to lade. The public seemed incredulous,
and the Administration was hard-hearted. The Presi
dent did not consult the print in question,—no evidence
existed that he reai it. The Cabinet evinced n i desire
to u*e it* proffered columns they rather shunned its
prai*es. AdvertiMng for Government, seemed

Hint* and Ride^stabH were eautiou*ly interspersed with
it* braggoiloria. Nothing seemed to avail. The “ in*
dependent" print did not seem to be regarded a* indis
pensable. It w a* not made the confidant of the Govern
ment. Tho discontent grew apace. Independence
veered to the other side, and began to abuse those whom
it before bad prai*ed. An accident dapped the climax.
"1 he news of M, Poussin’s dismissal wa* announced
and its cause explained, in nearly every other city jour
nal, one day ahe.ad of the one in question ! The last
vial of the choicest wrath was then uncorked. It was
evident from this, that Mr. Clayton, at all events, did
not consider him-elf or Ins depart ent subordinate to
the “independent" print. And from that day to this
its columns have been filled with the most systematic
and abusive billingsgate which the enterprise of that
iotirnal ran command.
“It seems an insult to common sense to suppose for n
moim-nt, that such abiiM* can have upon tli-* public mind
any other effect than to inspire it with disgust nnd re
sentment. We certainly would not pay the popular in
telligence so poor a compliment, as to *u*port that it

in the town of Oglethorpe. This new town is nitn-
Atcd oil the Flint river, at the terminus of tlio South

douhtli’W la* a place of Horne importance when tlio
Road is completed to that place. Tile produce of that
region must find a point of concentration somewhere,
nml it n|qK>Hrs reasonable that the termiuusof the Road
shall and will he that point. If the views of Mr

will probably he brought together to In* transported
from lhe town of Oglethorpe, it will donbtlcsH be h

Important and Remarkable Invention.—
Mr. M. Smith Salter, of Newark, lias just obtain
ed a patent for an invention winch, it is believed
is destined to have a most important influence up
on the useful arts of life, and the industry of llie
country and the world. It is a new method of
making Iron, direct from Ore, with anthracite or
bituminous coal, by a single process. By means
of this remark tide invention, Mr. S. proposes 10
make wrought iron at a cost of #25 to #30 per
ton—at least half the usual cost. His furnace
has three combined chambers, one above the other,
and all actuated by the same fire. The upper
chamber is used for deoxidizing the ore—impuri
ties, nuchas sulphur,&c., being carried i IT ut a
low temperature; the middle chamber for fluxing
and worhing, and tlie lower chamber for reducing
and finishing. The metal is taken from the la*:
imm d to the hammer or squeezers. Tho whole
time occupied in this process, from the time the
ore is put into the furuuco until finished by the
hammer ia only 2 hours!—Xeicark Advertiser.

•The Paris correspondent of the London Chronicle
rays, under date of October 4:
It is certain, however, thnt the President is nnxinu* to
giveM. Dueiere and M. Marrast diplomatic situations;
nnd it is thought that M. Marrast will be appointed to
New York in the place of M. Poussin.
No importance is attach*d to the uuarrel betireen the
French Sf/nister at Xiu- York and the President of the
United states. M. Poussin, the Minister, is a red re
publican, and had ban, or was about to b: recalld.
SINGULAR DEVELOPMENTS.
From a loiter in the Baltimore American, from New
York, it appears that the recent diflh ulty iietween M.
Poussin and our government hu> uri*en entirely lr.,m
t!:** gross ignorance of De Tocqneville, Minister of For
eign Affair*, iu respect to the law ofral\a*e. lie imag
ined tha: salvage could never lie claimed by a national
tesselur man-of-war. The complaint o| our govern
ment therefore took him by surprise. It was determined
to recall Poussin in July ln>t, but De To< queviJIc having
committed him*elt by hts instructions, could not recall
l.un It oVdieiire to them, und dared n«t rest the recall
on the ground that he had attempted to lecture our gov
ernment on its own dignity and honor, a.* tie had told
him thnt both these were violated by Carpender’s eon-
