viding " it'll Philadelphia, Baltimore and
New Orleans, a portion of the lucrative
trade which it must shortly engross. BY
the last steam boat, several merchants
belonging to Nashville, Lexington and
Cincinnati, came passengers, on their
way to New-York for the purchase of
goods. They were much pleased with
the route, and spoke of the facility of the
Journey from their residence to this place,
as much greater than they had anticipat-
ed. Indeed, the route from this place
to Newly ork, is much less arduous
than that over the Allegany mountains to
Philadelphia. 1t is but FIVE days ride
from Cincinnati to the Sandusky Bay, by
Dayton, Urbana and Upper and Lower
Sandusky, and the distance is about the
same from Cincinnati to Cleaveland,
by Granville and Canton. From
Sandusky or Cleaveland to Buffalo,
the passage is about thirty-six hours
from Buffalo to Albany, by the
stage, four days; and from thence to.
New ork, one day--making but twelve
days from Cincinnati to Newly
When at New-York, it is undeniable that
goods can be purchased on an average
oper cent cheaper than at Philadelphia
or Baltimore: and the transportation
from New York through Buffalo to Pitts
burgh, can be made at much lower
rate than the price from Philadelphia to
that place.
With these superior advantages which
need only to be mentioned to be acknow-
lodged and improved, who can doubt but
that this place is destined to become in
few short years, the great thoroughfare
between the eastern and the western
states; or that the city of Newly ok,
with the completion Of the Grand Canal,
will become more distinguished for her
commerce than the most celebrated CT
ties of Europe.

FROM TIE NIAGARA JouRNAL,

Every day satisfies us more and more
that the advantages which are promised
to this state, and to the states south and
west of us, from the completion of the
great Canal, are more certain, and more
extensive and valuable than have been
supposed, even by the most enlightened
advocates of this splendid work. In a
national view, the connection between the
western and eastern states, through the
city of Newly York, will be formed by the
indissoluble chain of commercial inter-
ests. The city of New-York which has
for years past been marching with gigan-
tic strides to metropolitan dignity, will,
with the completion of the canal, at once
become the unrivalled emporium of the
whole western world. But few years,
and it will be thronged with thecitizens
of Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri,
Tennessee, Kentucky, and Ohio, and its
merchandise be spread to the utmost
bounds of the American empire. AL
ready are the merchants of the Western
states anticipating the rich benefits of
connection which will soon be realized.
Even now the city of New-Yorl is d.

NEW -iohh5 hC0toI
BaNoon.-Yesterda afternoon, Mr.
Guile, according to his advertisement,
assembled in his Balloon from Vauxhal
Gardens. The streets and avenues were
thronged with people, and the very house
tops were crowded. There appeared to
be not more than or 500 persons in the
Garden. The initiating of the Balloon,
which is a curious process, and effected
by hogsheads containing the gas and
conductors leading to the interior, COM
menced about o'clock, and about half
past six the car was attached to it. Mr..
Guile entered with two American flags,
and the Balloon assembled in a noble
manner. The weather was cloudy, and
wind from about w. N. w. which blew
heavily; the Balloon still sailed with
great majesty, when the aeronaut threw
out the flags--having attained the intend
ed height, he cut the cord, and the Para
chute Immediately inflated and left the
Balloon, which continued to ascend. The
Parachute descended slowly, and the
wind waited it towards Long Island.
He landed about seven O'Clock at
Bushwick, Long Island, and brought a
certificate of his landing from a gentle
man on the spot. He reports that he
had pleasant and easy jaunt. He was
at the Circus at O'Clock, and was re-
ceived with great applause.

GENTLEMEN,
The honorable Secretary of the Trea-

the subject, unless it should become ne
cessary, to support the facts themselves,

Whatever might have been the origi-
nal intention of those, who had been most
active in procuring the incorporation of
the Bank of Edwardsyille, l did sincere
ly believe, at the time it was about to be
put into operation, that it was intended
to be conducted with the utmost pru-
dence and honesty; and with that belief,

shares. personally knew that $4,000
had been actually, and bona fide, paid

imposition was contemplated.

Mr.. PRINTER,
| have seen numbered long pieces in
your paper lately, advising the people of
this state to express their opinion TO their
representative on the slave question.
The writer's use number of arguments
to prove, what imagine no one doubts,
that we have right to instruct our re-
personalities; and that this question is of
sufficient importance to justify it.
Now | wish those who feel that they
have influence, would proceed to act on
it. fla few writers continue ever so long
to occupy their time, and nothing but
newspaper essays appear, | fancy that
those who have not been willing to take
the hints given heretofore, will hardly
admit that they now have instructions
from the heohIe. A Grecian philosopher
once said, The Athenians admire vir-
tue, the Lacedemonians Practise it.
Let us not only advise and admire, but
