Its views are nowise taslacIous {; and we
have no doubt of the result being equal
to the anticipation. By casting our eyes
towards the lakes too we shall find the
prospect equally flatterng. The great
canal connecting New-York with Lake
Erie, opens to this state most extensive
commerce with that city, or other Allan
tic ports, or with the lake country ; so
that Ohio, embraced as it were by both
Oceans. must necessarily become rich
and powerful! as manufacturing; agr-
cultural and commercial state.

The discovery OF steam boat nayiga

tons. The facilities which it affords in
communicating with New-Orleans, have
already wrought powerful change in the

mere came GOWN the river 10 tniS pidCe
few days ago, man from Pittsburgh
He was, what they here call "a pretty
sleek Yankee" He brought with him 1000
dollars in the notes of Piatt's bank. On
bis arrival he went Immediately 10 The bank
and demanded specie, which was refused.
He expressed much surprize that they
should refuse specie, and began to walk
backward and forward in the bank. After
short time he asked them to exchange for
notes on banks that paid speLie. This " as
also refused. lie then told them, that if
they had any notes Of Owl Creek, Woos-
ter or Uniontown, he would rather have
them, than their notes. This affronted
them very much; and they said. they did
not suffer strangers to insult them in their
bank! Our Yankee then apoloe iceland
declared, he by no means intended to in
suit, hut. if they had any well executed
counterfeit notes on any good banks they
would very much oblige him, by exchang
ing. This efronted them so highly that
they ordered him out, which he complied
with, after taking few more turns back
ward AND forward in the bank "
If this was the only bank in the stale,
where fraud is accompanied with insolence,
the evil, being confined TO small circle,
might be patiently borne. But when SINH
lar scenes almost daily occur in every part
of the state that is cursed with one OF these
pretended BANKS, it is high time fol the
people TO consult their own safety, by stea-
Oily refusing TO receive the notes of all
banks that do not pay when called upon.
In the present deranged state of the money
concerns of this country, it is not safe to
receive the notes of bank, or pretended
bank. whose funds and general conduct
are unknown to US. We have, long enough,
been the blind dupes of set OF men, who,
by means of an artfu "paper system"
have faxed the community to an amount far
exceeding the ,sycs imposed by govern
ment And for what reason do we acqui-
esce in this "paper system" tax! Is il
expended in making roads; $50 much
needed) in Observation-Disclosures 4; in pro-
noting domestic industry? No! The tax
thus raised from the laboring part OF the
community, is exclusively appropriated to
the purchase of foreign goods /; many oil
them useless. some of them pernicious ;
while our own citizens are discouraged
from endeavoring to supply the real wants
of the country.

DISTRESSING DISCOVERY.
A discovery has taken place which has
disappointed the fond wishes of two lovers
in high life, and totally deranged the hopes
and expectation of The family of one ofthe
parties. A young nobleman, heir appa-
rent to marquis, was lately on the eve OF
marriage with the interesting and accom-.
plished daughter of an English earl. Eve
ry preparation was made, and the day FIX
ed for the completion OF their mutual hap
piness, when fatal defect was discovered
in the pedigree of the noble suffer, which
! has cheated him of his fondest hopes
Upon the examination OF the family papers,
it was found that his mother the marchio-
ness, was not born in wedlock, and that
at the age of 10, she was married by IL
cense, and not bv banns-and consequent.
ly that the marriage was illegal, and tie
cause of it illegitimate. By this fatal mis-.
take the issue of the present marriage are
removed from the place which they have

RUSSIAN PIETY.

The Question has often been asked, How
is il that the Russian Court, formerly the
most licentious upon the continent, should
now lend all its influence and support 10
the cause of the Bible Societies {! When
Alexander came to the throne, the court
sill retained the same character. The out
ward form OF religion was observed, but its
influence was despised. The bible was
only known by mans and TIL term " BIZ
bic reader" was used as an epithet Of ridi-
cule and reproach. The emperor himself
was devoted 10 pleasure, and lived in viol,-
ton of The law Of God. He had been mar
ried to an amiable and pious princess, bul
they were shortly after separated, aud du
ring four years they never met. Prince
GalitzIn was the constant companion OF The
emperor in all his pursuits OF pleasure.
They were born on the same d,y, educated
together. and united by The closest ties OF
friendship. The highss, place IN! the
church and state becoming vacant BY thu
death of the incumbent, the emperor pre-
scented il 10 his friend, who az first refused
it, alledging his entire ignorance OF religion,
but he was prevailed on TO accept it. Upon
the first interview which he had afterwards
with the venerable archbishop Pla.of, he
requested of him some book that would
give him concise view Of the christian re-
hgion the bishop, surprised at the ignor-
ance he confessed. referred him 10 the BIZ
bic. The prince replied that he could not
think of reading the bible. . hrn,' said
the archbishop, "there is no other book,
nor will there ever be one, from which you
can get a correct view ofthe Christian Re-
ligicn." Here they parted, but the words
of the archbishop, remained on the mind Of
the prince. and al length he resolved pri-
va,ely to purchase bible and read it. He
lid so, and the effects were visible in his
conduct. When the projected invasion Of
the French, in 1912, threw the whole court
into state of alarm and agitation, Prince
Calitxin alone sppesrsd TO remain unmo-
we'd. The emperor observed that he had
noticed the calmness the prince had display
ed, and not doubling his loyalty, it had ex-
