We have pleasure in announcing that the propo
sition for grant of Two Hundred Thousand Dol
lars and an entire township OF land: (25,040 acres
has received the sanction of both Houses OF Con
gress. Each House has passed a bill OF lis own,
but the Joint sanction required to one or the other
of them, after what has passed, may be considered
matter OF course. The thing is done, and with an
unanimity which has few examples in our leglsla-
tive annals.
h was desirable, doubtless, that the measure
should have been adopted by a vote entirely unsni
NOUS, and without debate. But, if it had not been
debated, and if there had not been conflicting opin-
ions upon the matter, it would have been out oil
unison with the character OF our government nc
difference of opinion was one as to MODE ana quant'-
~, and not as to principle. We have great salts
faction in stating that of the dssentient voices
very few we're opposed to the principle oil the bill
and no one questioned or disparaged the merits oil

that place, Camden, Canterbury, Johnstown, by

surveyed and measured distance of SO mes:-
the whole distance by land will be about As or 46

The following article from the albany Democrat of Dec
H. will doubt be read with interest by the good ct
zens of Wilmington, of whom thought that much
honor, many cvies, and many services, could
not be rendered the accomplished Lieutenant Of the
Royal Navy"
One would have thought, that after having been
Bit by Venabes, by Hopkins, by Seymour, by Green
and as many more, not now recollected, our Albany
wiseacres, among the fashionabtes, would have learn
ed to distinguish between modest merit, in its gen
une dress, and mean mendcity and rascaty, in the
borrowed CARDS of wealth and greatness; but it
seems that the plain old maxim" experience teach
eth" is altogether lost upon Albany; and that the
more some folks imposed upon especially il the
impostor come in The shape of British sprig OF
nobility, the more susceptible they to imposi
ton. During the last week, we have had ample
proof of this cullability, and laughable proof too
| for we have had among US, caressed by the bellies
and envied OF course by the beaur, no less person
age than the self-styled Earl of Morton; who came,
as he said, direct from the british .Nobllity Hole,
and was therefore fit subject tor the respect and
veneration of republican dgnitares, the admiration
and affection Of the weak, frivolous and vain Of one
sex, as we'll as the obsequous homage of the same
description among the other.-Accordingly "my

were dipped by this contemplate villain, but we
heartily rejoice that of them at least We're Ia
ken in by him and where he boz rowed fifty dollars,
we regret extremely that it had not been tiue hun
bred or flee thousand: Tor If he had been worthy
1 mechanic, or a virtuous philosopher or patriot; or
any other mertorious character pressed by the hand
of misfortune, and sinking under adversely, he would
not have obtained credit for cent But his mock
title of nobility, supported by that impotence, which
is the never failing attribute of quackery and rascal
ty, procured him cordial reception, and ready
advance of the needfut! This is the same charac-
ter, that passed himself off at Wilmington, Phiiadel

of The British Navy, and was imprisoned In Phlla
