Considerable excitement took place yesteF-
day at the meeting Of the Chesapeake and
Ohio Canal Company, in consequence of
some remarks Of the Secretary of the Treas
ury, OH the President of the Company. This
is not Surprising, when 1t is considered that
Mr. MERCER is ,ne Of the most distinguished
and efficient friends oflntsrnai Improvement;
that the administration has taken ground a,
gainst it, ana thas among the J0nissaiies Of
King Andrew the st, Mr. INCgAM is pre-
eminent fer the severity Of his conduct, and
the malignity of his feelings. The reply Of
Mr. MERCER was distinguished fer eloquence.
J0T as well as sUoiis argument anu ceCOfuai
{-quallties by which that gentleman is as
strongly characterized as his assaiant is by
their opposites. On every account we rejoiee
to learn that it is ascertained that the present
President and Directors Of tbs Canal Compa
ny will be- reelected, in despite Of the anxiety
Of the ''Greatest and Best to VETO them out

ticlng on " ednesday the attempt of MIR. Score.
tary iuehaa, TO prevent the re election OF the
President OF the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal
Company, we expressed our regret that polti.
cal feelings should be permitted TO min gle
with such AN election. Il is proper for us to
state that cur structures were designed exclu
siveiy for Mr.. lngharn. and his prompters, and
that we had no design to impeach the motives
ofCommodore Rodgers. who was nominated
by Mr. TO the office of President ofthe Com
psny. The motives OF the gallant Commodore
are, on every occasion, above suspicon; aud
m regatd 10 this particular matter, we have
the best authority for believing That previously
10 tse meeting Mr.. ingbam stated TO him that
; lie, Mr. J. would not be governed By political
c0nsidetstions; but that in making his numinss
tons he should be Influenced solely by what
he considered the true Interests of the Canal.
Believing these assurances, Commodore Rod
gers is not. of course, liable to any imputstion
in conseutinG 10 the Secretary's suggestion of
nominating him to the Presidency of the Com,
pany; - a suggestion, however, fer which that
parsonage he'd his 0zrR reasors But as We,
