 " e had the pleasure day or two since of enjoying delightful ride of l5 miles upon the National Road in Arkansas, and were much oratiied with both the country through which passes and the road itself It is hercuean task and in many places shows tho mas tery of man the hideous frowns of physical nature. The road is nenfy completed for i5 miles from the Mississippi river, and when t is worn by little travel will be smooth the unruied bosom of a lake," Maj. Bowman is gentleman well adapted for the energetic prosecution of this great work and would have progressed much farther 10 it's compilations but for the impossiby acquiring sufficient number of laborers. The other contracts beyond, we under stand are also progressng and Arkansas ere long may rejoice in having one of the hest roads in the Vest if not in the Union; entirely free from any im- pediment the least possible resistance of earth and air.

Of course, this unes them, and, as the other emigrating parties arrive, have no doubt they Will submit to the same laws. The great danger to be apprehended is from the reduced situation of the Satfisoh and although no attack Is contemplated, yet moFnentary excitement might be produced, and lead 10 serious consequences which the presence of su hcent body ot troops could resraln-whereas the pre- sent force can do no more than retain their position within the garrison. regret exceedingly that there is not sufficient regular force this frontier to keep the Indians quiet The people of Arkahsas entitled to protection, as the Government is bringing on such large bodies of Indians, who have imbbed the most bitter feelings, not enly against government but citizens on account ot the wrongs they have suffered east of the Mississippi.
 "Dont understand me saying that there is no danger on this frontier. No tell with such number of Indians and such a diversity of feeling aaieh9 theal, what lew days might pfoduce.9
 Another letter, of l4th ult. from another gentleman, speaking of the meeting of the Greeks, says
 ssThe Superintendent visited each party alternately, and then called them in General Council, where he in- formed them, in candid and fathefy manner, that the law had deprved the hostile Indians of any of the treaty benefits, annuity, Sc.

Route TO the West.--All this putting about
"short passage to Buffalo and the far
west" by way Of Oswego may do very well
on paper. 1t may serve to initiate the nom-
inal value of property at Oswego but ira
velers who credit such representations will
find disappointment and delay not unfrc-
quent concomitants.
We have had some experience on this
subject, having recently tried the experiment;
of the "shortest and quickes. route. -
Starting from Lewiston, in the steamboat
for Oswego, and thence TO Albany, when
the hour arrived in which we were to be al
Oswego, we found ourselves in Toronto, Up
per Canada. In consequence we were 30
hours longer in reaching home than if we
had kept the beaten tracks through the GEN.
ire of the state.
A gentleman of Wisconsin, now in this
city, tried the same experiment, and instead
Of reaching for Oswego direct, was blown
off and run into Kingston, U. C. 1t isl pro-
bable that in midsummer passengers may
80 somewhat directly by way of Oswego,
but we doubt whether even then either time
or distance will be gained.
The boats on Lake Ontario are good
boats, and commanded by skilful and gen.
tlemanly officers, but they cannot control
the winds or the waves. Oswego has some
business facilities but they have been much
overrated. The Wclland Canal is much
out ofrepair, and as to ship canal around
Niagara Falls, such ditch may be dug
but not IN this generation.
The route TO the far west is direct by way
of Buffalo, as every man who has traversed
the state few times ought to acknowledge.

Impressions made on the mind, in ascend
ing the Mississippi, receive additional force,
from the contemplation of appearances at
that place. The elevation of the land, with
its level surface, on to its source, and over
which it moves before it arrives at the prccl-
pice, seems to convey the idea, that its waters
werc once spread over an Unreasonable ex-
tent of country, until by some CONFUSION

lous motion, and terminating in these irregu-

quiet course to the ocean.

Democratic BaLance.--We have received the
first number ola handsomely executed sheet bear
ing the above title, from Pontiac, Oakland Coun-
ty, in this state, published by our old friend s. NJ
Cant. The citizens of Oakland will find him
worthy their support; and we think that when he
becomes known to thom, on footing up his ac-
counts he will find the balance very much in his
favor. We wish him success.
The sentiments of the editor will be found in
part, in the following extract taken from the first
number:
"The usages and measures Of the De-
mocratic Republican Party will receive from
us decided and sincere support. No
measure can be successfully maintained
without union and cooperation of all men,
bers of the party who may project it. For
an individual to say he is a Democratic sup
porter of the administration of Andrew
jackson, while at the same time he is CO.
operating with the enemies of the admins
tration to "divide" the Democratic party,
appears to us most inconsistent and intolera-
bic. A true Democratic Republican is ever
willing TO submit to and support the acts of
the majority of his party friends; nor will
he hold his views and his reflections as of
more virtue and entitled to more respect
than the decision of majority of the peo-
pie. Entertaining these sentiments and be-
lieving them to be correct, we shall strictly
adhere to and support the regular nominal
tons of the Democratic Republican Party"

which we've seen) and knowing such that
stigma of DISGRACE and POLLUTION could not

fortunate chance to get into the Col. IS kitch.

that the darkies he saw there were Johnson's

have such a decided preference for the
fairer part of creation, as he pretends to
have! This is certainly mystery which
