hibited warfare against learning and female
modesty.

This new article, remarkable for its superior purity
is proved by critical experiments made at the Labora
tory of Columbia College, and warranted by tire pro-
pretor to contain only about onefourth of the quantity
of residuum orncombustbe matter found in the best
English Canister powder. It'possesses the greatest
possible degree of strength and quckness' and may
be known from all other powder by orange stain
thrown out on its gniton-a peculiarly rendering it
well adapted to resist the effects of salt humid at

in abundance may be obtained for fifty cents
per day. Compare this estimate of the real
prices of the articles, necessary for the con-
struclion Of the canal, with the Generals esti-
mate, and you will find that in many articles, he
is at least three times too high The canal,
therefore, instead Of costing $4,000, 10000, will
actually not exceed Ss,ooo,ooo; or at the extent
not more than 10000, 900. This statement
should be corrected before it goes before the
public, lest the warmest friends of the measure
should be frightened at the enormous cost OF
the work, and desert it entirely. Put the cost
of the Generals estimate, even then it would be
the most profitable stock in which the general
government could employ her funds, if we are
permitted to take the Newly ork canal for cri-
terion. That the estimate Of materials, labor,
&c. sc. is entirely too high, we are sure every
practical man is prepared to say. Gen. Lacock,
who is one of the Pennsylvania Canal!Commis-
sioners, and who is man of practical know
ledge inthe construction Of turnpike roads, ca
nails, sc. contends that the canal from tide wa
ter to Cumberland, can be made for two and d
half millions Of dollars---ahd farther says, that
he will contract to make it for that sum. Mr..
David Shriver, we understand, who was lately
attached to the United States Board ofInternal
Improvement, also says, that he will join Gen.
Lacock in the contract.
Gen Bernard gives the most hattering &C
count of mis- late surveys and examinations of
the Wills creek and tasselman's route, and
states that there is no obstacle in this route
which cannot very easily be overcome.
Col. AARON BURR, who some years ago
occupied so large space in the public arena, IS
now practising lawyer al the New-York bar.
He sustains avery high reputation for talents &
legal requirements; Sis in independent circum-
stances. A casual visitor to the city, who
chooses to pass an hour or two in the vicinity
of Tammany Hall, will generally notice small,
delicate, white haired man, moving about in
meditative mood, alone and noticing no one a
man whose keen eye and expressive counte-
nance, where age has in vain struggled to
quench the fire of genius, and whose appear
ance, bespeaking the finished gentleman, will
arrest all his attention---That man is Aaron Burr
who was one day Vice President of the Unit
ed States, the next fugitive from the blood OF
Hamilton; at another time mounted on the
whirlwind of revolution, and meditating the
dissolution of the Union and the building up of
a southern monarchy; and then, prisoner, an
swering 10 the charge of high treason at the bar
Of this country. A man, who, perhaps, con-
sidered with reference to the powers OF mind
alone, had no superior, has now no SUPERIOR
But he left the path of honorable virtue; and he
is, what you may see him--a solitary being in
the midst of society; pointed out to the passing
stranger as mere object of curiosity.

TO the Democratic Voters of Christiana Hundred.

BRETHREN--When presented my Address to
the Democratic Voters of New Castle County,
was not without fears that in attempting to persuade
you to dissent, in part from the Red Lion nomna-
tion, might create disorder and confusion in our
ranks, and that the short space that would intervene
between that time and the day OF Election, might
prevent such an understanding and organization in
our party, as would be necessary to render the
Ticket then proposed, successful and that the cause
Of our opponents would be benefited thereby.
rejoice to state that there further grounds for
such fears. BY the exertions of some of the most
active Democrats in each Hundred, the true state OF
our case was made known, and the public sentiment
ascertained to be generally in favor of that Ticket
One further alteration has, however, since been made'
by substituting the name of JOHN HIGGINS for
that of JOHN EXTON. This change has been
thought necessary for the good Of our party as it
was believed that Mr.. Exton is a supporter OF the
federal candidate for Congress.
With the proceedings of the meetings in Mill
Creek and Brandywine Hundreds, you are acquaint-
ed, and now lay before you those of a meeting in
St. Georges Hundred. The Ticket now recommend
ed to you, will receive the support Of the Democrats
in those Hundreds. Appoquinimink and Pencader
will follow their example. If the Democrats in this
Hundred unite with them, the SUCCESS OF this Tick
ct will be secured. Such cooperation Is the only
way to prevent one more Federalists being elect
ed to the Legislature. Then let us resolve, as the
best course we can take in the present case to unite
with our brethren in the support of the persons here
recommended. They are all known TO be infle1ible
Democrats and every way competent to discharge
the duties of the Offices for which they are candi-
dates Be united and we are safe. Division will
bene, only those who are striving against US and our
principles.
Before drop this subject again entreat your
support for the Ticket here presented to you. be-
leye it will succeed and our party will be purified,
and the roarings of the Red Lion. which have thun-
dered terror to foes in days when the strife was
loud and long, will be again heard and spread dismay

The committee retired few moments and re-
ported the following resolutions, viz.
Resolved, That this meeting view with deep con.
Germ and regret the confusion occasoned in the De-
mocratic Party by an arbitrary and unjust faction
who pretend to belong to US, but who, rather than
abandon measure calculated to favoi our enemies,
would sacrifice our party and honor, and by threats
and menaces defeated the object Of sending Dele
gates TO the Red Lion, which was to favor ticket
favorable to the interests and views oil majority OF
the Democratic Party-and under the above circum'
stances it has become absolutely necessary for the
people to tace their olCn business into their oicn
hands: Therefore
Resolved, That this meeting do concur with their
brethren of Mill Creek and B-andywlne Hundreds
in the ticket formed by them, and do earnestly re-
commend to the support of all true Democrats and
