TFrom the Kennebec Journal.

The Tory presses are publishing ta-
bles of figures to show that Van Buren
will be elected Preside {. The argu-
ment they most rely upon is TO convince
their followers that Van will succeed. -
IT is no matter how, in their estimation,
ar by what means; no matter what his
qualifications; if they can make the pub
lic believe his chance is the best, they
calculate that all the mcrcenary and
time serving politicians will rally under
his standard. Another remark natural
Iy suggests itself. These presses all
speak Of Van Buren, as if he were alrea-
dy nominated. They forget that their
Office holders convention has not vet
gone through the formaiiy Of nominating
him. Who does not see that this conven-
tion is all sham, mere gathering of
office holders and government jobbers,
to carry into effect tho decrees of the
kitchen f? But after all their managing,
the Tories may not be able to control tic
whole American people. Tho majician
will get few votes beyond the mountains.
and none south of the Potomac, notwlth-,
standing his declaration that he is sOppos-
ed to the abolition Of slavery in the Dis
trict Of Columbia, where Congress have
power overit.

ULicn and .Susguehanna Rail Road

Uticn and Susquehanna Rail Road
We are much pleased to hear that all
the stock of this Company has been ta-
ken up, and that operations have already
been commenced on the line Of the in
tended road, in the vicinity of New
Berlin, where a portion of the route has
been surveyed, and the grading begun.
The Utica and Susquehanna Rail Road
is to communicate with the New York
and Erie, near Bingharnpton, and the
two, when united, will form direct
route by Railroad from Utica to this
city, about fifty miles nearer than by
way of Albany. 1t will be great thing
for Utica, and give an important impulse
to her business and prosperity.
Another measure in which she is deep
ly interested, together with the whole
country of Oneida, and all that section
of the State, is the Oneida Lake Canal.
The Company, we understand, have
completed their arrangements for finish
ing tha canal and feeder, and it is ex-
pected that both will be open by the lst
of September. This will establish di-
rect water communication between Lake
Erie aud largo extent of fertile coun.
try lying on the north shore of the Onei-
da Lake and River, probably one Of the
best timber districts in the State ~. Y.

AMERICAN INDEMNITY BILL.
The report Of the Commission appointed 10
examine the Indemnity Question was brought in

law for carrying the Treaty into effect. After
debate, NJ. Odillon Barrot moved that the dis

rejected. and finally on motion Of NJ. Dupont de
l. Eure it was appointed for the eighth day after
the distribution of the report and documents. The
Ministers were in favor Of nm earlier discussion.

.New Hreniion-Captain f.. Lark in Of
st. John, has invented machinery, sim
pie in its construction, and that can at
very small expense, be attached to The
ruddcr of any vessel. He will, on di-
al at the rudder head, show the distance
the ship has sailed, and only the actual
distance, for if the ship should a. any
time 60 astern, the distance so gone
astern is taken off the dial, and the true
distance gone ahead only is shown
Should it answer the purpose anticipa-
ted, it will be a great benefit gained in
navigation, as at times it is of the great
est importance to know the distance sail
ed; for instance, having given distance
TO run in fog, or at night, it may be
done with saiety-this machinery giving
the true and absolute distance, which
has not yet been ascertained with GER
tainty by any method, with the simplici-
ty and accuracy of this invention. In
verted and exposed to the action of the
wind, instead of the water, it would at
any time with equal accuracy give the
velocity of the wind; the neatness and
compact state of the invention, does
much credit TO Capt. Larkin's ingenuity
and mechanical skill 81. John paper.
