INTERNAL IMPROVEMENT.

INTERNAL IMPROVEMENT.
Previous to the adjournment of the Gene
raj Court, an act was passed appropriating
fire thousand dollars for the purpose of sur
veying the site of canal to connect the wa
tiers of the Hudson river with Boston harbor
Although we entertain the same opinion rela-
tive to the plan which we expressed in our
paper Of the 9Th ultimo, yet we are gratifed
at the passage of this law, because it mani
tests an awakened zeal for the promotion of
the best interests of the State, and affords an
indication of more liberal views, relative to
the development of our internal resources,
than have heretofore prevailed, and because
we believe that ifthe route from Connecticut
river to Boston should prove tolcrably FEAST
BILE, the carrying into effect of that part of the
plan would be of great-and lasting utility
A survey will moreover determine very near
y the probable expense of extending the
canal through the whole length of the propos-
ed route, and afford more certain data than we
now possess, from which tojudge of the prob
able advantages to be derived from it !; and
we shall be very happy to find that our con-
lectures relative to the western section have
been erroneous.
We have seen in the papers two or three
pieces relative to our article above alluded
TO, in which the writers dissented from the
opinions there expressed, which we should
deem it our duty to notice fthey had contain
ed any fact or argument to overthrow the
positions we had taken, but as they do not,
we have no room to spare for the purpose ot
mere speculation, the more especially as the
most important facts from which to draw q
rational conclusion will be so soon ascer-
tanned.

penalties attached by law TO the crime of per-
jury, than by any sense of moral responsible
ty. But to render it solemn, it should seldom
be repeaied-if it is intended TO have any 9th
err weight upon the mind, than to render the
violater obnoxious 10 the law, the more seldom
taken, the more impressive would it become.
Let juryman be sworn or affirmed, when en-
tering upon the discharge of his duties at the
opening of the court, and not be again subject
ed to the oath; it certainly would be as easy
to refer to ali cases which may come before
him, during the session, as to include one only
at time. This would save time and swear
ing-two commodities, at present, somewhat
abused.

LONDON, JAN. 6.

tomorrow. We are happy, however,
to be enabled to state positively that the
produce of the Ercise will exhibit an in
crease of rather more. than 00,O00l. on
the Quarter, and of nearly million on
the Year, in spite of repeal of taxes to
the amount Of between 100000 and

Such view of the growing reSourc-

Nothing can more conclusiyely prove
the wisdom of that policy which His
Majesty's Government continues to pur-
sue.

this State. No report from Chill has
yet been received.

The subject of the following remarks, which
we copy from the United States Gazette, is
one Of some Importance, and the views
therein presented are worthy of considera-
ton.
" SIceartng. "A bill has passed the Legis-
lature of Massachusetts, permitting others than
Quakers, or Friends, to affirm rather than
swear. To us, the mere circumstance of as
severation is of but little consequence: we
care but little whether deponent uses " |
swear" :" AFFIRM" or C say" But we see
in the law referred to, another step towards
the perfection of our system ofliberty, and we
congratulate our fellow citizens, upon every
victory that liberality gains over bigotry.
But if we are not deceived, the customs of
our courts here, as we'll as at the eastward,
are dramatically opposed to the end which is
to be had IN view in administering an oath,
viz that of imposing upon the mind of those
who take it, some new obligation to tell the
truth. We have witnessed in court of Jus.
tice, continuation of oaths taken by juryman,
for nearly, or perhaps quite, half an hours
continuance; they are sworn collectively, and
individually, and renew their oaths upon
every new trial. This, we opine, is useless
occupation Of time, and triaing with the So
IDENTITIES intended in the obligation.
objects ever pressing dim the sight," and
we believe that familiarity with the oath, de-
stroys a part Of its weight upon the minds Of
those who require some powerful restraint, to
keep them in the path of truth. The man of
integrity does not change the tenure of his tes-
timony BY his oath, and those IF wagering viz
tue will be more. likely TO be affected by the

WILLIAM HOVEY

IL AS to regret the necessity
~ of noticing the false and unmanly in
situations contained in an advertisement
in the Spy of the twenty-third ultimo,
respect ing BROAD POWER Looms, and
signed by WILLIAM II. Howard. As the
author of that advertisement has cast those in-
situations on me too plainly to be misunder-
stood without mentioning my name, and has
assumed to himself more merit in the business
than can be warranted by statement Of facts,
which consider a duty that owe to myself
as well as my friends to give, which facts
WILLIAM Fl. HOWARD will not nor dare not
deny, & shall then leave it to those that may
feel an interest in this unpleasant dispute, to
decide which is most entitled to public conf
dence.
In the fall of 1928, took WILLIAM III.
Howard into copartnership at my Machine
Shop in Worcester, and after building various
kinds Of machinery, we commenced building
Broad Power Looms. As there were at that
time several kinds in operation, we had some
difficulty in deciding on the best plan, but at
length, latter several expensive experiments, de-
termined to build on the plan of the common
Scotch Loom, and did build and put in opera
ton at all the places to which referred in
my advertisement, at an expense to myself
more than equal to that of WILLIAM II.
Howard, as had to furnish stock, shop, and
tools, as also to pay him by the day at an ex-
travagant rate during the time that he was
putting such Looms in operation; and, in nc
instance, was any important alteration made
in said Loom without mutual consultation
nor without my sharing an equal expense.
Those experiments as well as many Others
had so far embarrassed my circumstances, that
found it necessary to be connected with somt
one whose responsibility and integrity woult
be of some service to me in carrying on my
business, and, for that reason, dissolved M
connexion with WILLIAM II. Howard, will
an express understanding that we should eacl
of us build the said Looms on our own accoun
and by mutual consent we own the Pat
terms for said Looms together, and, from those
patterns, | shall furnish Looms as pertec
and as reasonable as any one else and On al

The Small .Por.

We are much gratifed in being able to
state, from the best authority, that no new
case of this fatal malady has occurred in Doug
las for about three weeks past, nor do we
hear of any in Uxbrdgo, or elsewhere in the
vicinity. There have been within the limits
of Douglas, in all, twelve deaths, and about
fifty cases. All that now remain sick are
convalescent.
The list of deaths we published last week,
it will be recolected, contained thirteen
names ;-as but twelve have died in Douglas.
one of them probably belonged to one OF
the adjacent towns.
We have the promise, from one well quail
fed, of a correct and authentic statement, rel
alive to the small pox, from the time of its
introduction into Douglas 20 the present
time.
While on this subject we would remark.
that reports ola highly criminal nature, rela-
tive to the introduction and extension of this
disorder, are in circulation, and are generally
believed. These ought to be the subject Of
investigation, in order that, if they are un.
true. unmerited obloquy may not rest on the
character Of any one, and, if true, that the
punishment may be awarded which such tur.
pitude so richly deserves.
