The Ptnilentiary.—Our readers will no doubt feel some
solicitude for the fate of Ibis institut.on, erected by the
State at so great an expense and kept up against an in
creasing current of unpopularity. \\ e give the following
as the views which will probably govern in the measure,
taken previous te the next meeting of the Legislature.
1 The Executive has in this matter a very simple duty
to perform. To see that the convicts under sentence re
ceive the award of the law. The destruction of the build
ings may change the direction of labor but cannot justify
Qnv abatement in the sentence. (

Ilail Storm.—On Saturday Iasi w*- bad one of those de
structive visitors. It did not however pul *n the awful
features sometimes witnessed. The hail which fell was
unco wiaenly large, and utmost uniformly in ragged mas
ses ol no definite figure. Some damage was done to win
dows but not much besides.
By the Augusta papers we learn that on Friday last,
that City felt the effects of one of unprecedented violence.
No lives appear to have been lost. From various quarters
of the country, we hear of similar occurrences—so that
the cause of these, phenomena whatever it is, appears to
nparale widely, slthongh the clouds from which hail falls
are uniformly narrow, frequently less than half a mile in
u idih. They uniformly so fir as wc have noticed, proceed
from tbe We*!, and go neat ly an East, North East direc
tion. Tire U'ual coolness of the atmosphere has followed
these falls of hail.
Rumors'.—In the absence of knowledge the editorial
corps are no engaged in propagvting rumors. It is ru
mor if that Mr. Livingston, Mr. McLean of Delaware,
tdovi'riior Woodberry, Judge White of Tennessee, and
JUr. Bncfiannan of Pennsylvania, are to form the nea
Cabinet. 1* is also rumored that Mr. Van Buren will go
as Minister to London nml to Petersburg!! and to where
else *vho knows? Mr. P. P. Barbour is also rumored in
to nomination as Attorney General. The great difficulty
appears t > bo what is to be done with the little magician
V n it iron; —ho*v sufficiently to eulogise on the one baud,
or dispraise on theother, is the contest with the editors.

"Among r tJip most important of tbe public acts, (s.ys
the Albany Argus,) is the bill to abolish impri-onment for
debt, and to punish fraudulent debtors, passed on the last
day of the session, which will go into operation on 'll" firs*
of March next, and which will then be applicable to al!
debtors and contracts, pastas well as future. Whether
this bill, which changes so materially the mode of enforc
ing the collection of debts, will prove as salutary in prac
tice, ns its friends have anticipated, or whether, by the
intricacy and extent of its enactments, it wiil tevid to great
er oppression of tbe debtor, and to increased liiigration. s
its opponents have predicted, time will show.”—National

There lias lately appeared in Philadelphia a lithograph-
ic pri+u being n caricature of the di-solution of tbe lal.
Cabinet ut Washington. The Baltimore Patriot g*v< s
(lie following account of it:
‘it represents (says the Editor,) the Presidential Pal
ace al Washington, tumbling into ruins, hi the midst of
which "the Greulesl nnd Ue6l” is seen in the great Chair
of State, which is falling from under him—at his feet nr
his pipe and tobacco box— fallen, broken in pieces. Ti e
likeuci-s ©f the Hero and his attitude, exhibiting fright ami
despair, are inimitable. The most casual obseiver would
recognize a stiong and faithful likeness at a glance. On
the tailing pillars of the edifices re lunging scrolls of
parchment, on which the word ' resignation” appears.—
At the Hero’s feat is {are] seen four no,-.uiar looking ani
mals wito men’s heads, labelled ll Ilats leaving a falling
Jiotise. u These heads are excellent likeness nl the four
Secretaries, Eaton, Branch, Van Buren, and Ingham,
while the bodies, feet, tnd tiffs, exhibit full grown Rats,
well fed upon Treasury pap On the tail of the Van Bu-
sen Rat the General h»s placed his foot, which seems to
a iy—“stop—yon are to continue i:i office till your succes
sor is appointed.” On one of the pillars which is fal
ling on the right of the General is [arc] these words—
“Public confidence the stability and harmony of this Ad
ministration.” In another part of the buff ing, of rude
und unseemlv appearance, is [are] written these words—
“ALT\R OF REFORM,” on the top of which presides
the Genius of Evil with n large Hickov. broom sweeping
out tbe rat-*, who, taking the alarm, are scampering off at
Till tilt. The whole isa humorous production and oneuf
the best tilings of the kind n v have ever seen. It hits off
the Jacksonian scenes now playing at Washington, to the
very life.”
Now for Mr. Ritche’s account cf the mailer—
“ The Caricature.—We have seen the Cabinet Carica
ture which was lithographed in Philadelphia—and we
can truly say, tliai we have never seen n poorer thing in
planar in execution. A man ofganiw* might have made
something of the subject—but this doubling is utterly vile,
flat, and ridiculous. One critic says, that the Fiend of
.Mischief who sits above enjoying the scene of dissolution,
looks as much like the caricature of Mr. Clay as the run
ning rats are like the resigning Secretaries. Another in
sists upon it, that the whole attempt is nothing but the
curicature of a caricature. And a third person suggests
that it must be a joke played off by some Jackson wag up
on the taste of ths Clay party.
One of this party at New York does not relish the thing
at all. This Ediioris of the Commercial Advrrtiser, who
g„ts not into a fit of laughter, but of morality on the oc
casion, nnd exclaims: "vVhai are we coining to in this
country, when public men are thus burlesq ted in the win
dows of the print shop? Pause, for Heaven’s sake, pause.”
Now, tiiia is carrying the joke too far the other way.
AVe bave no objection to a li ile bagatelle—a Calembourg,
or even a Caricature, played off at the expense of our pub
lic men, provided there was any wit in it. But such a
thing as this, is too poor a jest to raise a laugh. It is a
• .diction upon the taste of the party, who avowedly sees
fit to use it.
Mr. WaLli praises it—he says, “the artist is admirable
in hisline!” But is it strange that he should say it, who
declares Prince Lievan is “no authority” in Mr. Ran
dolph’s case, “against direct statements from St. Peters
burg—addressed to very respectable persons in both this
country and England” (by whom?) “and against tbe evi
dence ot (anonymous) witnesses.” You must believe
them (quoth this Second Daniel)—even in the matter of
ijic geuufl xion, although the Prince must have seen it, if
( it happened at all! But adds Mr. VV. t this Prince is a
Minister; and, therefore, “could hold no other language”
towards an American Minister. None other? That is
to say, no othe-, even when he knew them to be true,
' than to affirm that “any sueh reports were entirely desti
tute of truth! He could not evade, could not softeu, a la
stio te diplomatique—but be must go the whole at once—
and lie outright. Whoever can bring liimself to these
j>.irad >xes, may well cry up such a doubling as this as an
admirable caricature!”—Rich. Enq.
This said caricature must be a strange production,
like nothing under the sun. Or perhaps is itself caries-
Igsjed in hoUi fbe accounts given.
FROM THE B'vSTOM PATRIOT.
The Oregon Territory, Columbia River, S,-c.—We have
conversed with Capt. Domini*, af tbe brig Owhvhee,
which arrived last week from ihe Pacific Ocean, who in
forms us that in February 1829, be entered Columbia Ri
ver, and remained until April. He revisited the River al
so in August, 1830. He describes th<* climate as delight
fu!, free Iromthe vicisitn les of heat and cold experienced
on the Atlantic side of N. America. In August the heat
was not nearly so great us with us; and through the win
ter, he saw no snow, nor was there any ice seen in the
river He i* rf opinion that two crops of potatoes nnd
of tHff rent kinds of grain could be raised without any diffi
culty. The navigation of the mouth of the Columbia is
rattier daogerous as there -re breakers upon a Bar,
where there is 4] fathoms at low water; and indeed the
Briti'h Hudson’s Bay company lost two brig* there, one
in 1829 and the other in 1830; but from the mouth, for
about 130 miles, as far as the Great Falls, the river is
deep enough for the largest merchant vessel.
About 8t mile.* from tbe mouth of the Columbia tbe ri
ver Wallameth enters it, a large river which is navigable
:o alout20 miles from its mouth, where there arc Faffs
of 20 feet, and a mo§t eligible site for manufactories.
From its sot.ice it runs a 1 W. ‘course to the Columbia.
A smaller river, called the Coulex, empties into tne Co
lumbia from the North about 20 miles below the Malla-
meth.
The soil on these rivers, not far from tbe mouth of th
Columbia, he represents to be of the best quality, es
pecially around the Wallameth, where the country is !|
waiered, as Capt. D. learnt from hunters, nd abounding
with extensive fore* ts of hard wood. There isateo n fin f -
growth of hard timber on the upper Columbia These
rivers abound wi'h salmon, sturgeon, herring and other
fish: the season for herring commences in February, and
far salmon in Mnv. T l ie natives are not numerous, but
are very peaceable, by by no means like those at NanlUr
Sound, &c and Capt. D. at no time felt any apprehen
sions from them.
Clark's Patent Wagon eontinute the transportation »e -
vice between Boston *nd Montpelier, and is approved fcv
the driver. It started fr m Boston on Saturday with a
cargo of four tons, which was drawn over our pavement
with ease, and at good speed, by two horses, the driver
sitting on the wagon with long reins. The wheels are sev
en feet in diameter, each wheel acting on a short serf sep
arate axle, established outside tbe wagon. The wagon »s
thus permitted to hang low between the wheels and load
ed wiib peculiar convenience. The accident of upsetting,
which sometimes occurs to other wagons, can hardly ha, -
pen to this.—Boston Palladium.
Progress of Intelligence.—We publish tbe annexed with
pleasure. The industrious classes, or, as they are else-
w here called, the Utilitarians, form the best priite of their
country in peace, and its best defence in war. We ex
tract the paragraph from the Cadix (Ohio) Gazette.
A Blacksmith's Study.—What would the reader say to
an invitation to visit the study of a journeyman black
smith? Ladies and gentlemen, walk in; don’t be fright
ened; blacksmiths were in fashion befure danciug mas
ters, and steel was used for many purposes of utility previ
ous to the invention of corsets. In one of our editorial
peregrin itions, we took some pains to call on asubscri-
Iter and correspondent, whose zeal in the cause bad pro
cured us a number of subscribers, and whose pithy pro
ductions in our columns had drawn Ihe attention of the
conductors of some of the fir6t lilerary periodicals. On
arijviiig at the tillage inn, we inquired for A. B., and was
directed to a blacksmith’s shop, where wc found our friend
busily engag'd at his usual occupation. Without useless
Hpologiea or ceremonies, be politely introduced us to his
residence and iiito his study. It was a comfortable and
snug upper chamber* neatly plastered, and provided with
a fire stove, a bed, a writing desk, a bookcase and shelves,
with olhei corresponding conveniences. His library con
sisted of upwards of a hundred well selected volumes,
comprising some standard works on history, civil govern
ment, science, law, theology, general liteiattire. It
must have been in such retire/Rents that the Benjamin
Franklins, & Roger Shermans of a former age conceived
and planned the movements which resulted in the estub
lishment of our fres institution*.—U. S. Telegraph.
The robbery in the City B.uk at New York has been
lately ascertained to he more extensive than was at first
supposed. On V\>Jnesday morning last a yuuns man
named Alkin, tnadeoath before his Honor the Recorder,
that he deposited one hundred and forty doubloons in the
New York City Bank for safe keeping, on th*- 28’h of
February, that he has been absent from the City since,
and returned only on Tuesday, when on application to the
Bank he learned that the money is not there.
An engraved portrait of the venerable Charles R. Car-
roll, of Oarrolton, has recently been executed in Balti-

said to be remarkably well done, the effect i« striking, and
the engraving possesses considerable merit. Sav■ Rep
