Roads and canals are so necessary to commerce,
that their number and excellence have been truly
said to form accurate measure of the civilization
and progress OF industry IL nation. Sooner or Ia
ter the necessities of trade will embark individual
sutcrprsc and capital in their constructions as
the example OF England for one, sufficiently shows.
Works thus constructed however, at the cost and
risk OF intlTidnas, mast naturally be expected to
follow rather than prccede The development of the
resources of country, individuals arc uuapt to
risk either for prospective advantages, however NOR
ally certain great in the end il they at the
same time remote. 1t is in such case that the
funds of State may be wisely applied to works
OF this nature, the individual contribution in the
shape Of taxes Being small, aud the benefits large
and d:fsivc.
The surest indication Of the prosperity OF thi;
country is the great number and vastncSs OF the
projects already completed cot Cor f;tcili.
tutng transportation and intercourse. The spec.
tacle is worthy to be contemplated as a noble
ir,iit of that cnerprising and udicious industry
which springs cut of institutions which shachic
neither property nor thought. IN no other couu-
Try IS there great an outlay, compared with the
capital, for these constructions for trade and
municntion, 10 which apply, with sonc Incorrect
ness, tie comprehensive phrase of internal Improve

The circumstances Of the country arc in some
respects peculiar, and point on that account more

LIBERfA.-The Intelligence which we publish
to-day from this interesting colony is entirely salts
factory, and calculated TO stimulate the cxcrtions
of its friends, and at the time excite dis
position in the free colorod people to cnIigratc.-
The Agent of the Society in this place has adveris-
ed for vessel to take out cmigrants, and he has
shewn a letter from friend in Southampton in
which it is stated that 245 mon, women and chill.
dren in that county have resolved to embark for
Liberia. Most OF the men arc mechanics and all
said TO be Of good character.
We have also seen a letter from one of the colo.
nsts, (recsived by the arrival at PhiIadelpl )
which speaks in glowing terms of Tie trade and
prospects ofthe Colony. The writer adds that it
his intention to have visited the United States
this year, but having been appointed Sheriff Of tie
Colony he found it inconvenicnt.

Some ten or twelve days, perhaps longer ago, We
saw in letter r Che United States Gazette, from
its Washington correspondent, statement that
Mr.. Writ had resigned his seat in tho proposed
Conversion ut Baltimore in December next. Know
ing the writer and his general accuracy, we stated
the fact without naming our authority, no; doubt
ing that others would see it also, and that if there
was any error We should not be implicated. We
have however seen no notice taken of the fact, ez-

and the silence of the press, inclined to

M1SSOURI.-No sooner was the death of Mr.
Pettis announced than nine candidates appeared to
fill the vacancy. To settle these discordant claims
a convention was called, and majority being found
in favor of Mr.. r. w. Wells, Attorney General of
the State he declared the candidate of the
party. The minority who supported Gen. Ashley,
refused to give way, and he is also a candidate.-
On this gentleman, who is prominently popular,
Will be concentrated the votes of minority Of the
Jackson party not under the control of Senator
Benton, and the Clay party. Gen. Ashley is only
a halfway Jackson man, temperate in his feelings,
independent in his opinions, aad not j fit tool for
Benton's hand. His election is anticipated, but
