WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1925

Dewitt Clinton is occasionally mentioned
as Candidate for the Presidency, and prob
ably nothing is wanting but activity and con-
cert among bis friends to create powerful
diversion in his favour. As statesman of
enlarged and liberal views he holds pre-
eminent rank. Yet we doubt the policy Ct
bringing him forward at this time, or indeed
at any other time, without an almost moral
certainty of his election. His independence
is so we'll known that mere party men and
demagogues would be errayed against him,
and his republican simplicity is offensive to
those who take pride in the attentions of the
powerful and the great. Beside, his fame is
already too we'll established TO make it worth
his while to stand forth for doubtful chance,
to be pelted with filth by every scavenger
that passes. If elected, the Chief Magistracy
of the Union would add but little TO the meas
nre of his glory, which is now SO nearly full.
When the animosties engendered by party
strife, and the remembrance Of the petty sqab-
oles Tor power under his administration shall
have passed away, his path will appear
bright and glorious one, and he will be re-
garded, by future generations, as one of the
greatest BENEFACToRs to his COUNTRY, that
she has yet produced.
The above has been in type two or three
weeks. Since it was prepared, we have met
with the following article
FROM THE BALTIMORE MORNING CHRONICLE.
Ii Dewitt Clinton consults his own fame
and repose, he will never accept of public
office again. He can never expect to &C.

The elegant and erudite editor Of
the Charleston Courier, in speaking of
the advantages, both mentally and phys
ically, of an annual migration to the
North, during the summer solstice thus
concludes
I" Nothing contributes to the preser-
walton of this excellent state of mind, so
much as Il periodical cessation from bust
ness, and employing such occasional in
tervaIs IN searching out and enjoying
the beauties of art and nature. To de-
vote few sultry summer months in Wis
ltlng the northern sections of the Union,
has become a confirmed custom among
many classes of the citizens of Charles
ton. The Hudson river is presented TO
us In all Its grandeur, its magnlticence,
and It's beauty; Saratoga points to its
lmpid springs and its fascinating cotill-
IONS and Lake George spreads itself to
our astonished imaginations, in all the
unrlvalled beauty OF its romantic noun
tatns, its magic islands, and its tranquil
bosom glttering in the noon day sun.
Newly DIRK, with its taste and its gaiety,
It's excellent hotels and its diversified So
caety, charms the heart and the palate,
and draws forth every slumbering SEN
'slblllty OF our nature. In scenery and
10 literature, in the features of still life
and IN the traits of intellectual being,
Boston is the Edinburgh of our country.
Its literary establishments, and its un-
rlvaled scenery the science, the taste,
and the high moral feelings so beauti-
fully blended In the character of its in
habitants; the interesting associations
connected with many scenes in its neigh
borhood; the inyigorating breezes of its
picturesque Nahant, and the enchanting
prospect from the cupola of its State
House, unequalled as it is in any part of
our country-altogether form one of
the deepest and most varied attractions
TO travellers from every section of the
Union.

Glorious Triumph.-The " Peoples

by republican votes. Never has there
been a more vehement struggle, nor
more honorable result. The aggre-

any circumstances, can be counted GA

Some persons have thought it essen
TALLY the duty of an author, 10 diversity
his subject by practising what is usually
denominated depression. Sterne has
attempted this with more success than
usually attends its advocates, but not
withstanding, his marble page, his
crooked lines and his seven castles' are
dull in comparison with the narrative of
our modern peasantry. Having some
skill in stenography, | have been able
to preserve a diverting story not long
since related in my hearing, which for
the Improvement of both writer's and
readers | now carefully transcribe.
Son the 7th day of October last,
will not however be positive it was the
seventh; ii might possibly for aught l
know, be the eighth. 1t could not be
later than The eighth or earlier than the
seventh. The month if | mistake not
came in Of Saturday, and it must have
been very near the close of the first
week, but the particular day is not ma
terial.-So, be that as it may, it is of no
consequence, but am pretty certain it
was the seventh. | would not undertake
TO go for to swear TO it, because may
possibly be mistaken, and as | said be-
fore, it is not material. Well as | was
saying on the TIN of October last, for |
am very sure it must have been the
seventh, one Of my neighbors; call
him neighbor though in truth he does
not live very near TO me; perhaps 70
or 80 rods off. do not know but it |
may be more. | very often travel it,
and possibly it appears TO me a great
deal shorter than it really is. Indeed |
have not been used to have near neigh
bors. Before he came, the nearest was
at least half a mile from me. and
when this one came, | told my wife that
it seemed but step to his house. But
that is neither here nor there. But as |
was saying, one of my neighbors came |
to my house, | had as lief tell who he |
was as not. The matter | am certain
will be found out. 1t was Hugh Jones Il
| was sitting before the fire. Before it |
| can't say | was exactly before it, Per-
haps was little nearer one side than
the other. But that is neither here nor
there. When he came in, asked him
TO take a seat, not thinking or mistrust.-
ing the least thing 10 the world ha d
no more suspicion of any difficulty ar IS
ing than the fartherest person on ear II !.

the time taken up in telling my t. ory.
before he began. Says Jones, sayr, he.

CANALS.

We perceive by the Washington papers.
that great effort is about to be made for Ca
nal to unite the waters of the Potomac with
those Of the Ohio River. meeting of dele
gates, from about 80 Counties in the States of
Virginia and Maryland, and the District OF
Columbia, assembled at Washington on the 9th
INST. for the purpose of taking such measures,
as may appear most advisable, for carrying this
great object into effect. They, and all others.
engaged in such praise-worthy undertakings,
have our warmest wishes for their success.
While on this subject, we would remark.
that agents are now on the route of the con-
templated Canal from this place to Provi-
dence, for the purpose of obtaining releases
from those, through whose land, the Canal
will probably pass. We are sorry to hear
that some, who have been considered favora-
bly, disposed, decline signing the release.
lhis IS the more to be regretted, as the sue
cess of the enterprise must in some degree de-
pend on the good or i'll success in getting the
releases. We did not suppose that any one,
who does not wish to throw obstacles in the
way, would hesitate at all, unless he was 60
ing to suffer some damage, much exceeding
the value of the land, which must be taken
for the canal. There can be no question,
that the canal will enhance the value of all
the land, through or near which it passes,
from SO to 100 per cent. None ought to OBJ
Ject to releasing without some important rea-
son. Let every one recolIect, that his exam
pie may have an unfavorable effect on the
mind Of others, and that, thus, his refusal
may indirectly Illustrate the plan.
We feel fully assured, that nothing is now
wanting, to secure the completion of this
work, for which, some have labored so
much, but cordial cooperation, throughout
the route, Of all who are interested in its sue
cess.
We may add, that nearly all, to whom the
release has been offered, have signed without
hesitation, and that those who have refused,
are but few, 81 generally oflittle consequence.

SNOW STORMS.

We are informed that in Rowe and
Heath, in Franklin county, snow fell to
the depth of 16 or II inches, and was
SO much drifted by the wind, that it was
necessary to open the roads with oxen,
sleds, and shovels. In Hawley, there
was more than foot of snow. In Ash
field, there were drifts more than 4 feet
deep, on the 10Th.
The Woodstock, (Vt.) Observer says,
they had in that town another fall of
snow of about l2 inches on Saturday,
the 25th ult. The Keene, IN. H.) SEN
tlnel says, snow storm commenced
there on Saturday, the 25th ult. and on
Monday morning the snow was from to
~ inches in depth in towns at the north.

THE GREEKS.

The latest accounts from the Grecian
Archipelago state, that the gallant
Christians were occupied in planning a
most bold and daring expedition against
their ruthless enemies, which would re-
move the seat of war in great measure
from Greece, and transfer it to the rich
shores of Asia Minor. Their plan is
said to be, to carry the war into Nato-
LA, province in the W. part of \. Tur-
key-to attack and plumber Smyrna, and
make it for the future their head quar-
ters. They have collected, it is said,
with this intent 10000 chosen troops
and warriors, among the different islands
of the Archipelago. The embarkation,
and sailing Of the expedition had, it is
stated, already taken place, and the in
telligence of IFS operations was looked
for with the greatest anxiety. The
Greek Admiralty had the strongest hope
of success. The Porte, it appears, was
apprized of the intentions of the Greeks,
and had sent lbraham Pacha into Nato-
liza, at the head of some thousand of its
best troops. This is bold and desper-
ate enterprise of the Greeks, but they
are increasing every day in strength
and determination. The Turks can
not now conquer them---on the contrary,
they will yet drag the Crescent down,
and trample the power Of the Ottoman
in the dust.--British Press.

General Coloctroni opposed the advance
of The Seraskier, and beat him in bat

Greek force under Nicetas repulsed
with great loss the division which ad-
vanced across the Isthmus. No better
fate attended the Turks who had effect
