| with this Jacksonism, and van burenIsm,
! as it is brought to bear upon their credu-
lily by the administration presses, that
. they really cannot even dojustice to their
own understandings either in their ordi-
nary intercourse, or at the polls. To mis-
lead them from the true objects of inqui-
ry, constitutes the principal employment
ofsuch presses. Heretofore all the De-
partments have been generally filled with
honest men and it is truly difficult for the

so dishonest as those in the Post Office
are proved to be. ~
ANOTHER DISTURBANCE.
There is yet considerable amount of
| work to be done On the section Of the Ca
nal near Galleway's mill, which. Accord
ing to contract, ia to be completed by the
first of March; and, until within few
days there were upwards ofl0oo men en-

majority of the workmen turned out for
higher wages, and would neithor werk
themselves nor let others work. Capt.
HoLLINGswoRTH's troop and Capt. Al
LENS rifle company, of Williamsport,
were in consequence ordered down to the

orderly. This object, we understand,
was partly accomplished, ard the TROOPS

Ct The Bill approprating S340. 600
for The continue ton and repair of the
Cumberland road. passed to third read
ing in the Senate of the U. States SO to
ID, on Wednesday Of last week. We
find Mr.. WHITE opposing, g. Mr.. GRuT'
Dr supporting the appropriation. Mr..
White May be now set down as good
state rights man. LEIGH. also, voted a.
gainst the Bll-this ought to satisfy the
Enquirer, for Mr.. Rvss himself could
have done nothing more. The two n.
York Senators too, were in favour of the
appropriation. What will the Enquirer
say to this , Will internal improvement
again revive if Van Buren, is made the
President fla war with France is for
ced upon us, many of our roads and ways
will want repairing, and the more we do
at it in times of peace the better. Our
roads and manufactures ought now to
be specially attended to, for war once
commenced, we know not what ExrER-
NAL evils may follow in its train, and
consequently, we ought INTERNALLY to
be prepared to sustain ourselves indepen-
IDENTIFY of all other nations.
