states and those only, where the people them
selves have demanded such an, 'infringe-
ment" and "espionage;" or, in other words,
in the letter of the law, in "those states, the
laws of which prohibit the circulation of any
newspaper, pamphlet, handful or other
printed paper or pictorial representation,
touching the subject of Slavery" The pro-
hlbltion, then, of the transmission of incen-
diary publications in those states, the laws
of which prohibit their circulation, is, it
seems, the mighty assault which is medita-
ted against the liberties Of the country! 1t
can be none other-for the law makes no
restriction in reference to the circulation of
any publication in any state where the laws
of the same impose no restriction. What
reason have we of the north, then, whose
interests are in no way affected, to complain
ifthe people ofthe south are satisfied Are
our liberties abridged? Would we not, up
on the passage of this bill, be as fully in the
enjoyment of all our rights and privileges as
we ever have been? Most certainly we
would. y
We repeat then, if there is any act of Mr..
Van Buren's public life that deserves com.
mendation, instead of censme it is this.

" The editor of the Black Rock Advocate has
published detailed account, under the head of
"rRAcY ON THE CANAL" of an attempt of the
captain and hands of the Clinton, belonging to
the old line of packet-boats, one night not long
since, to destroy tho spledid new cedar boat Red
Bird, of the opposition. Both boats left Buffalo
the same evening, and after passing Black Rock
two or three miles, tho bow of the Clinton was
drove into the side of the Red Bird, by design as
appears, every window broken and the whole sido
of the boat dashed out and other depredations
committed. Freeman, the Clinton's captain, it
appears re-shipped instanter, in another direction,
was ovcrhauled at Dunkirk and returned to Buff.
falo, by peace officer, for examination.
A Lockport paper states, that the ARRAY was
renewed the next evening, by the Red Bird CON-
ing up to an old line boat, near Middleport, and
breaking in her stern. 1t would seem that both
lines are equally implcated---equ disgraced.
The Buffalo Commercial recommends to edi-
tors, to say, respecting the two packet-boat lines
between Buffalo and Rochester, ~ 7hey haze

| have no doubt hat the prosperity of the west.

Thus we see how readily some of the great
men of our country can drown justice and right
in the whirlpool of expedency. But we still feel,
as expressed by the governor, in the 7th para
graph of his message, in to-day's paper, and I" as
every citizen of Michigan must feel, that the de.
c;son of congress has been made in violation of
every principle of justice; and that the result Of
their labors, is but the triumph of might over
right, based upon considerations of temporary
erpediency."
But, what the learned senator from the " en-
pire state" considers, would be UNJUST IN THE
EXTREME would be to require Ohio to make

or discovered any such extreme injustice in his
own state, in the construction of the Hudson and

Oswego canal, which is but connecting link be-
| tween the Erie and Welland canals, benefitting
his neighbor' Upper Canada and William Nv!

Extract of Letter to the Editors, dated
WASHINGTON, June 30, 1886.
"The session of Congress is within ten
days of its close, and many important bills
remain to be considered, and passed or re-
jected."
Speaking of the bill for dividing the sur
plus money, (Which bill has since passed,
and become a law the writer says:
"The immediate effect of the measure
will, fear, be to reduce or prevent some
highly Important appropriations. The new
harbor and lighthouse bills, and the road
bill, in all of which valuable Michigan inter-
ests are involved, will probably be deferred
or cut down. So far as unnecessary or ex.
travagant appropriations for doubtful objects
may be curtailed or prevented, so far will
the result be beneficial. The object will
be to let as much surplus as possible be ac-
cumulated in the Treasury by the first of
January, in order that the division among
the states may be of greater magnitude
than if large appropriations were made.
The ultimate effect of the measure of d.
viding the surplus among the states will be,
that it will be, that it will never be repaid,
and that law will, in few years, be pass
ed to annul the debt. The distribution
may, therefore, be considered as q gift, to
all intents and purposes. It'll to take place
but once; or, rather, the surplus on the first
of January next, is the only surplus that j.
to be divided. M r
the surplus at that time will be forty mill
ions. II so, the share to Michigan will a.
mount to upwards Of four hundred thousand
dollars, in consequence of the adoption Of
the principle of apportioning the money
among the states according to the number
of their senators, as well as their represen.
tatives in congress.
1t will be important that your present lie.
gislature when they meet in extra session
should pass law, to take effect an the evenl
of the people of Michigan deciding to come
into the Union as State on the BOUNDARY
conditions preferred to them, providing fol
the acceptance of her share of the surplus
revenue, and another law authorizing the
state treasurer to receive the five per cent
proceeds of the sales of the public lands
from the first of next month. The DISPOSE
ton of both funds may properly be left tc
the wisdom and decision of the next anc
subsequent legislatures. 1t is hoped that
whenever made, it will be made with sin.
gle eye to the welfare and advantage of the
people, and with enlightened economy and
prudence.
The bill establishing new post routes
which gives about fifty additional routes tc
Michigan, will become law. The appro
priation to continue the work on the ship
canal at Monroe will also pass. If Other
appropriations for Michigan and other states
should fail at this session, they may expec
to succeed at the next"

Ohio-In the settlement of the boundary
question, has received all that she claimed and
Michigan, with her admission into the Union,
has obtained more than she asked"
~ This toast, by gentleman from Lockport,
was given at Notification dinner, or "Celebra-
ton of the settlement of the boundary question:
at Toledo, on the 25th ult. Ohio has indeed
got all she claimed, and is well satisfied but who
believes for a moment, that the mere admission of
Michigan into the Union, raced, is more than
she asked2 A quoer'knd of /" obtaining" truly,

passed in beauty and fertility of soil an enlght
ened system of Internal Improvement will render
them what nature indicates, the great thorough
fare to the southwest and west second only in
Importance to the Erie Canal, the great proto-
type in the system"
In the coure of his predatory remarks Of nearly
column, accompanying this toast, Mr.. Boards
ley made ono observation, which we may look
upon at least as the opinion of grave senator:
"Ohio is TO make the canal connecting with
Lake Erie, through tho Maumee valley, and il is
perfectly right that she should have the whole r-
risdcton Of the country through which it is to
pass and to terminate. Indeed, to require her TO
make canal that shall terminate in neghbor
ing state, and thus give that neighbor the benefit
Of her Improvement, would be unjust in the ex.
treme." And again" Although this adjustment
may not DO entirely satisfactory to Michigan, vet

About 400 scholars belonging to a free schools,

they had refreshments in pleasant yards and a
