rF The French Chamber Of deputies
has voted the Is, GOO 900 francs, but with
q condition annexed. The President it
seems must apologize for certain lam
quage used in his last message on the
subject; and from the tone of some OF
the Jackson prints, we doubt whether
Gen. Jackson will feel disposition to
make any apology at all-probably he
will not.

to politics.
OF The stockholders of the JAMES Rlv-
LR AND KANAwHA COMPANY, met in the
city of Richmond. on Monday the 25lh
uIt. DR.. John Brockenborough was CALI
ed to the chair, and S. MD. Reid, Esq.
appointed Secretary. The meeting, we
learn from the Telegraph, was continued
on Tuesday and Wednesday. and prepar-
atory measures adopted for commencing
the work Of the contemplated improve
ment.
We copy the following paragraph from
the Alexandra Gazette Of the Goth ult.
1t is said that VIM. C. Jones lately ar
rested in Baltimore on charge of rob-
bing the post Office in that city, having
been released from Jail, in consequence
of the requisite bail in his case being
given, has fled from the country and
sailed for South America.
We learn from the Cumberland Adyo-
cate, that Mr.. D. LoGsDoN, of Aliegany
county, has lost three of his children by
Measles. They all died within ten days
of each other.
The editor the Richmond Enquirer
received on the 2eth ult. q STRANGER

SHORT SToRy.-Jackson says to
Van Buren,, "l'll make you my successor"
Kendall says to Jackson, "make Van
Buren, take Dick johnson on the ticket
with him as Vice President" Gle shall
do it," says the old chief--and forthwith
several hundred office-holders, hungry
expectants, political fortune hunters and
iders of aDlSdenominations, with long ears,
meet at Baltimore and cry DITTO to what
Gen. Jackson has already said, and this
is called DEMOCRACY and the ''voIcE OF
THE PEOPLE -" What humbug.--N.

u From the annexed paragraph which
we take from 1.-THE Virginian" printed at
Elizabeth Town, Marshall county, Va.
it appears that that print is about to a.
dept course worthy gifts editors and its
patrons. The internal improvement of
our country, the protection of our manu-.
facturers, and the establishment of an e.
quail and sound currency throughout the
Union, constitutes the principal work of
our general government. Any post road,
is national road; any navigable water
course, is national water course; and
every manufacturing establishment is
national blessing. The distinctions cree
ated by Gen. Jackson as to what is na~
tional, and what not, are ridiculous in
the extreme, and we are glad that "The
Virginian" has discovered it, and we now
hope it will soon make other discoveries
equally important to the well being of
the nation.
Believing as we do, that the glory,
honor, happiness and prosperity of our
common country, depends upon its own
internal resources, and that the recogni-
tnn by the Federal Government of the
constitutionaity of regular system of
internal improvement, and discriminating
duties on foreign fabricks. for the protec-
ton of our home industry, against COM
petition from abroad is essential to our
happiness--and prosperity as people. |
We shall therefore regardless of conse-
