quently agitated the eXpedlency OF erect

the first three original purchases made of
the aborigines AS individuals they have
felt in common, as they hope with every
member of this society, a degree OF morti-
fcatiOn, that no monuments mark the rest
ing place OF such men as Williams, Brown,
Clark,* Coddington,t Gorton and Holden.
They know, and we all feel that monu-
ments as durable as granite, and far more
honourable than even statues OF gold are
already erected in the memory of their de-
scendants. Yet still decent regard to the
customs ofall nations, savage and civilized,
ancient and modern, and to the effect which

anxious that monuments should mark their

lustrious actions. The historian dare not
pass by these men and their deeds unno-

strains in their praise, but small will be the
effect, and slight the impression, on the
minds of our children compared with that
produced by pointing them to monuments
that mark the hallowed spots. How much
more ardent will be their desire to equal
those actions how much more glowing
their gratitude !; how> much more deeF

cd Delegation.
From The National Journal.
Perhaps IT would be difficult to find in
all the Senate of the United States, gen
tlenan possessing more acuteness of
Judgment, a more accurate perception, and
a more infeXible patriotism, than Mr. Ron
RIMS, of Rhode Island. We might, with
great truth and propriety, extend the trib-
ute to the delegation from that State gen.
orally for beside hrs colleague in the Sen
ate, in the House of Representatives there
are few men who deserve better, or stand
better, In the estimation Of the House, and
of all who have witnessed their course,
than Mr.. BURGEs and Mr.. PEAncE.
They contributed, indeed, very little TO
the iniqnity--if iniquity it must be consld-
ercd-of wasting the session IN long
speeches ;but when they did speak, they
were listened to with the attention and
respect due TO their known talents and in
tegrity. Mr.. RoBBINs, in the Senate, has
shown himself to be above the reach of
that pernicious influence which seemed to
derive sustenance and rankness from the
atmosphere of the Senate Chamber, and
marking out for himself the course which
a conscientious regard for the public ill.,
terests dictated has pursued it with UNI
form steadiness, and a zeal worthy of the
cause.
At the celebration Of the National Jubi-
lee at Providence, Rhode Island, we find
him receiving from his tellow-citizens the
most comforting pledges of their entire
satisfaction with his course. We hnd
himself illustrating his views, and throw
ing the light derived from his own person
al intercourse and experience on the con
duct Of the opposition. We extract from

WASHINGTON, MAY III.
LOUISVILLE CANAL.

The Bill authorizing purchase o.!
one thousand shares OF stock on the part
OF the United States, in the Louisville
and Portland Canal, at the Falls OF Ohio
in Kentucky, has become law. From
what passed in both Houses OF Congress
in the discussion Of this bill, added to the
information since obtained from persona
well acquainted with the commerce OF
the Ohio River. we are confirmed in the
belief, that no work Of similar character,
and equal magnitude, in the United
States, can be found, or undertaken, that
IS calculated to render advantages SO
general and extensive. 1t appeared,
The loss annually sustained by the COM
merce Of the Ohio river, accustomed by
he obstruction TO its navigation, pre-
scented by the Falls, was variously CAL
cula,ed to be from five hundred thousand
10 nine hundred thousand dollars. The
single item OF drayage round the Falls
was estimated to amount to one hundred
thousand dollars. The work was conf
menced in March, and is now prescott
ing with adequate iorce--contrac,ed 10
be completed in November, 1927. for
three hundred and seven,y.sevcn thou
sand dollars. II is supposed, including
cost OF land aud contingencies, the whole
work, including dry docks, will be COM
ple,ed for four hundred and twenty
thousand dollars. The stock consists
Of six thousand shares of one hundred
dollars each. Ii IS believed the assess
men,s will not exceed seventy dollars a
share. The canal is contemplated to
pass the largest class of s,eam-boa,s,
being one hundred and ninety fee, wide.
The fall Of water is twentyseyen feet,
afFording an extensive and valuable wa
ter power, secured to the Company by
charter, which is perpetual, guaran,ying
twelve and half per cent. dividend, an
nually, limiting it TO eigh,een,per cent.
which those best acquainted with the
commerce Of the West, entertain no
doubt will be divided The stock hav.
ing all been, subscribed, it appears the
object Of the company in procuring the
passage Of this bill, was a precautionary
measure to prevent embarrassing ni,
should any delinquency take place,
which, from the embarrassment OF trade,
and the scarcity OF capital, occasioned by
the many recent failures, might, in some
degree, be expected. Mar. Jour.

mn the 10th of October last, a person by
~ the name of JOHN w. b. CALDWELL,
left his place of residence in the town of Char
don, Geauga. Ohio, in manner unaccoun,able
to all who are acquainted with the circum-
stance. He was single man much esteemed
by his neighbors, and about Is years of age.
He possessed farm under improvement, and
to appearance was in q thriving condition.
His sudden disappearance in so mysterious a
manner led to suggestion that he was muir
dered, but all the exertions Of the surround
ing country have been unayailing in ascertain
ing the fact. lfhe is still living, and any per-
son knowing the same, it is hoped that infor-
nation will be communicated Immediately to

FROM LIBERIA.

Very late intelligence, Of most en-
ceuraging charac has been received
by tho Board Of Managers Of the Anne
ricau Colonization Society, from the CO !.
lony on the African coast. The best
hopes OF its friends are in fair way to
be realized. The vessel which lately
sailed from Boston with q number Of
emigrants, arrived in safety in "a days
passage, and all the passengers were
landed in good health, and received as
brothers and sisters by the other settlers.
The captain Of tbs vessel describes it as
delightful place; and the dispatches
from the Colonial Agent afford The strong
est evidence of the success oil this expe-
rimens and Of the prosperity Of tho Coz
lony. 1t is probable we shall have it in
our power to publish, somewhat in de-
tail, the accounts from the Agents Of
the, colony. Meanwhile, as a part Of the
interesting information which they fur
nish, may be mentioned the destructio
Of three slsvs.iactories by The forces Of
the colony, and an accession Of ll6 IL
berated Africans. New settlements are
forming in the neighborhood Of the Ca
pitsl, (Monrovis) and it is with pride that
the friends Of this enterprise, and the
steady end disin,erested labsrers for its
welfare, behold, in its present aspect,
the elements Of . great, free, christian
and sducs,ed people, on . coast hither-
