This shoulder, it appears. upon becoming satura,

1t is not stated how soon these breaches will be
repaired-we presume. however, shortly. 1t will
be recoIlected that before this accident the Canal
was navinable for boats for twenty miles, and that
produce began already to float upon the quiet wa

We observe several of our friends complain
ing of the impossibiltv OF obtaining correct ac-
count of elections from the newspapers. We
fear their complaints will be. for some time TO
come, disreyarded Unfortunately the press is
not always under the control of gentlemen. and
vulgar partizans do no not scruple TO msrepre-
sent and conceal to suit their own views. When
a radical reform takes place i'll this particular,
we shall be pleased.
1t is stated in the South Carolina papers, that
Judge SMITH, of the Senate, intends to come out
fully, and give his opinion of the "Carolina doc
trlne," and his reasons for being opposed to Il
call of State Convention.
Judge SMITH has established for himself.by his
consistency and unwavering course OF conduct.
a solidty Of character which is respected and has
its influence all over the country. lie is known
TO be an advocate of State Rights of the old
school; not one of these mushroom politicians
who spring up in day. from the hot beds of fac
ton and Party spirit. Hence his opinion must be
valuable. whatever il is.
We perceive that exertions will be made BY
the ultras' in South Carolina. to remove him from
his seat in the Senate. Several gentleman have
been mentioned to succeed him. Perhaps he may
be sacrificed on the altar of Modification.

On the Indian Dues ton we take the ground Of
the Governor of Georgia. We believe that " the
removal of the Indians to the West, being advan-
tageous to themselves and to the people of Geor
gia, would be proper; but at the same time we
believe that it would be unjust to compel them to
leave the country which they have so long occu-
faith. Tor htiui aas aaft6sse the the Indians
can be persuaded to migrate, no one should object;
but we derrecate force, compulsion, or even
threats. Where they are, we thinI hey cannot
live in quiet or in safety But if they persist in
remaining there. for Heavens sake. let us NOT
see them driven away like the wild beasts of the
forest.
