MIR READy

The last Nashville Republican contains long Sneecb
from Mr. Ready Of the II. of r. of Tennessceon the
Resolution nominating Judge White for the Presidency
Tins gentleman sufficiently ready TO make any sot
and powerful argument. that Judge White is not sup
ported out OF Tennessee by the great Republican Party
-hlr Ready attempts To deny the itsrli-and among
other assertions makes the following:
IL is said, too, that all the Federal and Notification
newspapers Virginia for Judge White and against
mr.. van buren, The gentleman from Alaury, (Slr Nj.
cholson) will hardly charge this well known Democra
tic Republican State with having deserted her long cher
ished, her Jeiersonian principles And lac will hardly
admit that there Fcderasts, Nullifcrs Who's and
Bankes enough in that State, to support more than
three times as many newspapers the Republicans
ietf my information be not incorrect out Of forty poll
teal newspapers in the State there but eight of them
which advocate the clains of MIR. Van Buren,"
Now this ready orator ought have been rather more
chary OF his asserons.-But he is unfortunate in all
of them In the first place, the Opposition have always
supported moro papers than the RepubcunsThe friends
oil 'Adans-the friends of Clay-and the Wings
have Editors in their ranks than their
had.
In the I'd place, Mr. Van Buren, has more papers on
his side than Gen Jackson had when lac was elected AT
his LIST or Cd term.
In the Sd place, instead of eight we can specify at
least ID which advocate the claims of MIR Van Buren,
In the 18th place, it is fact that in VIRGINIA and eve
action has commcncedD the great Republican party
arc in favor of MIR. Van Buren-and where Judoe
White has supporters, they principally if not uni.
versaiy, Wings He is, in fact in their hands-and if
he has any chances of ALL he will owe it to
the enemies and not the friends of Gen Jackson
Every intelligent man in the country is ready TO tes-
tify to this statement-and the citizens of Tennessee
ought to know it, But the letter of judge White him
SELF to the Wings of Baltimore calculated to open the
eyes of Tennessee.

We are glad 10 learn through a-gentle
man recently from New York, that some
Of the capitalists Of that wealthy city, are
about embarking in an enterprise Of great
magnitude, at the head Of ship navigation
IN this District. The enterprise will in
volve the expenditure ofmuch money, and
the employment Of a large capital 10 com
mercial purposes. connected with the ex.
tensiye trade which is soon destined to oc.
cupy the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal
when the great advantages which this
District offers, for manufacturing as we'll
as commercial purposes, become known
abroad, we have no doubt that capital will
be rapidly invested here. Within the dis
lance OF a few miles, the Potomac has a
descent Of seventy feet, and its whole vol
IN might be converted into a power for
the movement Of manufacturing machine
ry. Sea vessels can approach to the foo,
OF the fall, aud from the same point a mag.
niilcent canal stretches away into the in
terror, already penetrating nearly to the
base Of the AlleghaDies, and furnishing a
bundant supplies Of coal, iron, provision.
&c. We are surprised, indeed, that these
peculiar advantages have not before now
engaged the attention o fpersons of capital
and enterprise from the East.
