to choose Delegates TO the State Convention,
was like Joseph's coat, Of many colors, and not
of the most pleasant or orderly kind. Every
question was made to hinge on that unfortunate
but broad distinction between administration
and anti administration men. There being no
probability of compromise, the parties sepa-
rated, and each ranging itself under the republi-
can or democratic standard, appointed It's own
Delegates, at the same ime.and in the same

A WORD TO THOSE WHO OF RIDING
The complaint against hard and uneasy saddless
which 49, tor the most part just and general one, and
is really grievance to those who have much riding to
do, has caused him to his mind particularly to that
subject, with view, if possible, to remedy the evil
he can with confidence the public, mat he has
accomplished it. The plan projected is by means Of
strong and well tempered steel springs SO constructed
as to support the saddle seat, and give much greater
ease to both rider and horse than saddles made i'll the
common way any other that he has ever can pos
sbly do The plan is entirely different from the En-
glish elastic saddles with spring bars of steel, whale
bone, &c. and also from those with wire springs; and
he conceves much superior to either the elasticity
is greater and the tree not being put out ofts original
FORM will not be subject to hurting horses journeys,
which is complained ofn the saddles with spring bars.
number of gentlemen have those saddles now muse
and but one sentiment exists among them in favor of
their superiority The invention is equally as applca-
DESTROYS of purchasing those easy saddles, at liberty
first to make trial of one and Judge of their ease for
themselves In point of durability they will be war
ranted equal any other saddles and superior to most

From the Literary Cadet.

PREsIDENTrAL-Th Editor of the Nantuck-
ct Inquirer, who, by the way, is man OF no or
binary talents and attainments, is out for the
next Presidency. and in an article contained in
the last number Of his paper, he has the follow
ing paragraph:
"ro our present rulers, one or two excepted,
we do not object The exceptions are Mr. Cal
houn and Mr.. Clay. The former is yet too
young-his talents, in our opinion, do not qua
lify him TO suslain the important charge which.
must necessarily develop upon him in cases OF
disastrous emergency, the occurrence of which
| is not impossible The latter has degraded
himself, and disgraced the institutions of his
country, by deliberate and lawless attempt to
take the life of an eminent lunatic."
We are not disposed to dissent from the pro-
positions of the gentleman Of Nantucket, SO far
as they relate to Mr. Calhoun, otherwise than
enter our disclaimer to the suggestion thar he
is too young. Were this the only objection
that could be urged against the pretensions Of
that gentleman, the American public might
with great propriety rejoice; but i, unfortunate
" so happens, that many, and weightier rea-
sons can be urged, againsthis ever filling the
Pre- sidential chair.
His age is certainly not against him, but his
official conduct has been such as to withdraw
from him the confidence Of every lover of Anne
RIGA and her institutions. He has degraded the
Senate chamber, and rendered it the arena of
private feudS and personal alterc ations, and
with complacency which no man of spirit can
support, has heard himself denounced, insulted
and condemned, without attempting TO vindi-
cate himself and without undertaking. TO dis
prove the charges Of his accusers.
He has quietly listened to the denunc iations
of John Randolph of Roanoake, and without
blush entered coniederacy against the admi-
uistration Of John Quincy Adams, and a man
towards whom he stands in the interesting re-
lation Of a second executive officer, and with
whom he ought at all times to live on the strict
est terms Of friendship, and good will He is
the first man holding the same office. that has
been known, thus far; to array himself against
the executive of the nation, to impede him in
all his operations, and 10 bring his administra-
ton into downright disrepute. These and these
only, should forever close the avenues TO the
presidential chair against him, and cut him off
from the patronage of the American public.
The latter sentence of the paragraph demands
little notice, and we are sorry to see the Nan
tucket Inquirer arraying itself against the Sec
rotary of State, and pouring bitter denuncla-
tons on his head, simply beause he was drawn
and pushed into personal combat with John
Randolph of Roanoke; man whom the lnqui
rer has been pleased to call an eminent lunatic,
Eminent lunatic indeed! He has displayed
much Of the bravado, he has displayed much OF
the poltroon, but liltle Of the lunatic.

Increase Of Canal Nauigation.-We presume
that but few, even Of those who are in the dali
ly habit of seeing boats pass and repass upon
our Canals, are aware of the constant and rapid
increase OF business through the medium of
these artificial rivers. We have taken the pains
to obtain the number of arrivals at this city,
and the resul: is as follows:
In 1923 there arrived 1899 boats.
1924 1857
1895 1886
1896 to lst Sept. 1880
1t is probable that the arrivals this year, will
not be far short OF SEVEN THOUSAND; and there is
every prospect that the increase will in future
be in the same ratio with the past, until it will
become absolutely necessary to make another
canal, double the locks, or adopt some other
means, 10 facilitate the transportation of the
products OF the west, which must all concen-

Illustrations of Lying, By Mss Opie This is
an octave volume of $50 pages, lately published
in this city by Munroe & Francis and others.
Such books as this cannot fail to produce good
impressions on the minds of youth. OF all VI
ces, lying is one of the meanest anc basest. 1t
is low and dishonorable. II is detestable ha-
bit; and utterly incompatible with pure and
virtuous mind 1t is impolitc and foolish 1t
is even worse. It's highly sinful and immoral.
All this and more are shown to be the evils oil
hing, by these illustrations. The vice is SO
common and so great, and so insiduous, that the
moralist cannot engage in better work, than
10 expose it in all its deformities. After ST. S.
costing various considerations to deter from the
practice and to shew its evil character and ef-
fects, Miss Opie justly refers to its criminality
when viewed by the light of revelation. She
would, therefore, above all things urge, as dis
suasiye from the vice of fasehood and lying, its
opposition to the laws of God, of which in all
its branches it is a gross violation SO far as
books can have an influence 10 dissuade from
moral evil. this volume, we think, is calculated
TO effect favorable results. The admonitlons
and examples of the living are also most lmpor-.
,ant. The object is worthy OF every effort OF
nrecent and advice. Boston Gazette,
