From the Kentucky Olive Branch.

We request the attention of our readers to
the following extract from pamphlet put
forth by Major L. p. Moore, and extensive
ly circulated just before the last presidential
election, telling the people OF the West what
wonderful things Gen. jackson and his friends
had done for them in the way Of Internal I'M
provements; and that they viii then call TO
mind the "Veto Message" sio,cilg how in
expedient and unconstitutional il is for Con-
gress to vote money for such purposes.
at has been predicted also, that in case
the friends of Gen. jackson got into power,
Internal Improvements would be abandoned,
and even the Cumberland Road given up to
decay and ruin. They have now a decided
majority in both Houses Of Congress- and
what has been the result? Never was so
much done for Internal Improvements at any
preceding session.
No less than SIS, 700 has been appropri-
ated to continue the Cumberland Road in
the direction already indicated through the
States of Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois, to Mis-
souri,
One Million Dollars has been appropriated
to be invested in the stock of the Ohio and
Chesapeake Canal Company, which canal
is to unite the Chesapeake Bay with the O.
hio river This improvement will be of i'm
mensely more Importance to the Western
country than the Cumberland Road itself, as
1T will open to our produce several Eastern
markets.
Near million Of acres of public land has
been given to the State of Ohio, to aid her
In the completion of her canals.
Many other objects Of Internal Improve
ment have also received attention, but these
are the most important.
These are the practical results of placing
a majority of the friends of GeneralJackson
in Congress: the West has been peculiarly
favored. Our interests both in relation TO
the Tariff and Internal improvements never
were so sufficiently guarded, even when Mr..
Clay was in The zeneth OF his glory How
could it be otherwise? Gen. jackson himself
is Westei4. mon, and those who support
him, mutually have friendly feeling for the
Western country"

When death strikes at home-when a re-
lative or companion goes TO the tomb, moth
ing consoles the survivor so much, as the re-
collection of constant kindkness Of deed and
word and manner,-an invariable restraint Of
temper and self-love, towards the deceased
Self-reproach may be the worst and most du-
rable source of regret and sorrow, even
when much affection has been entertained &
duty generally performed. Washington lr
wing has illustrated this truth, -too often and
widely neglected, with exquisite pathos in
one of his tales. He tells that memory will
be more fresh and importunate, when the
near and tender ties OF life have been broken,
in recalling to the mourner the merits which
may not nave been duly and steadily appre-
clated,-the peryerseness, the injustice, the
severity shewn, the sallies Of anger or i'll
humor,-than the main regard, and the be-
nevolent intentions cherished, OF the good
offices done at intervals of happy sunshine,
IN the absence OF every provocative TO UNI

On the Existence Of .4ninsalcula in saog.-
The following account was sent by DIR. J T..
the winter had made considerable progress
without much frost, there happened heavy
fall of snow. Apprehending that might
not have an opportunity of filling my house
with ice, | threw in snow, perhaps enough
to half hll 1t There was afterwards severe
~ cold weather, and filed the remainder
with ice. About August the waste and con
sumption of the ice brought us down to the
snow, when il was discovered that glass OF
water, which was cooled with it, contained
hundreds of animacules. then examined
another glass Of water, out of the same pitch
er, and with the aid of a microscope, be-
fore the snow was put into II, found II per-
fectly clear and pure: the snow was then
thrown into it, and on solution the water a
gain exhibited the same phenomenon-hGn
dreds OF animalculcs, visible to the naked
eye with acute attention, and, when viewed
through the microscope, resembling siost dl-
mnutive shrimps, and, wholly unlike the
GELS discovered in the acetous acid. were
seen liz the full enjoyment OF animal nature.
Il caused holes 10 be dug in several parts OF
the mass of snow in the ice-house, and to the
centre oil it, and in the most unequIvoca and
repeated experiments had similar results; 50
that my family did not again venture 10 III
troduce the snow-ice into the water they
drank, which had been a iayorite method,
but usedIs as an external reirigerant for the
pitcher
These little animals may class with the
Gmphibia which have cold blood, and are
generally capable, in low temperature, OF
a forbid state of existence. Hence their icy
immersion did no violence to their coBstitu-
ton, and the possibility of their revival by
heat is well sustained by analogy; but their
generation, their paIestage, and their e1tra-
ordinary trallsnligration, are to me subjects
of profound astonishment.'

MONTREAL, Jan 8.

Most Melancholy. has il been our
task to detail accidents of the most horryng
nature, but we doubt if an. we have ever
previously laid before our readers exceed in
distressing circumstances the present. On
the night OF the 23d ult. George Fitzhenry,
of Hawkesbury, u. G. and Marie Uniackc.
who resided in the house with Fitzhenry, be-
ing in state of lntoxicatlon accidentally
set fire to the house, from which they were
unable to escape, and both pelished in the
flames. A coroners inquest was held on the
bodies Of the deceased. on the Goth ult which
returned a verdict to the effect that the de-
ceased persisted by the fire communicated
to the house which they inhabited, by their
negligence whilst intoxicated II may be
worthy of remark that these unfortunate VIC
TINS were once moderate drii1keTs.- COtaGRt.

There are some peculiar features in the
recent negotiations with Great Britpin res
pecting the Colonial Trade, which, we re-
joice to say, are of an entirely novel descrip-
ton. General Jackson, through his Secre-
tary, Mr.. VAN BUREs, has undertaken to
condemn the acts of the late Administration
in regard TO it, and TO say that the People
have ratified their disapprobation, and then
authorizes Mr.. M'LANE TO communicate the
fact TO the British Government But we
must quote this extraordinary part Of MIR
M'Lane's instructions:

ellis, a. well as other sources OF inform ton,
will enable you to speak with confidence (as
far as you may deem it proper and useful so
to do OF the respective parts taken by those
TO whom the Administration of this Govern.
ment is now committed, in relation to the
course heretofore pursued upon the subject
of the Colonial Trade. Their views upon
that polnt have been submitted TO the People
OF the United States, and the counscls by
which your conduct is now directed, arc the
result of the judgment expressed by the on
ly earthly tribunal TO which the late Admin
istration was amenable for its acts. Ii should
be sufficient that the claims set up by them,
and which caused the interruption of the
trade in question, having been explicitly a.
bandoned by those ,vho first asserted them.
and are not revived by their successors."--

THE NAVY PROTESTS.

To the Editor of the Baltimore Patriot
SiR.-It was intimatcd short time since,
in some Of our public prints, that Govern
nent had suffered several Drafts, drawn by
the Navy Agent at Lima, upon the NAVY
DEPARTMENT, 20 be protested for non accep-
lance, and am Informed that some OF those
Drafts are still permitted TO remain under
protest, without the holders being able 10
obtain any satisfactory information from the
department as to whether they viii be uli
mately paid OF not. The representatives
from the district of Baltimore city aud coun-
ty, and the Senator from this shore, have
been addressed on the subject, but they eth
er have not infected, or their interference,
as yet. has been attended with no beneficial
result. In the mean time, il is reported, that
the holder of one of those Drafts has al
length been able TO obtain payment OF the
same. not from any sense ofequity or justice
on the part Of the thinking head OF the Navy
Department, but in consequence of ce,y
strong letter from an igJlueacial member Of the
| Jackson party in Baltimore. Can this be trueg
Is il possible that the destinies OF this coun-
try are welded by men, who will a. once
accord 10 the representations OF political
partizan that which they denied to the claims
| Of justice, upon the honor and integrity Of
| the Government
