Maumee express. [volume] (Maumee City, Ohio) 1837-1838, 1837-06-17


We were much pleased with the ap-
pearance of the steamboat Monroe, as
she lay at our wharves a few days since.
She has been thoroughly and completely
reftted and furnished. The cabin is now
the most extensive upon the lake, afford
ing accommodations for two hundred
and fifty passengers, all taking their
meals at the same time. She has been
so perfectly cleansed that no disagreea-
bic smell can be discovered, such as is
usually perceived in boats which have
been run year or two. The quality
which struck us most forcibly, was the
perfect neatness and cleanliness of every
thing about her, and the complete order
in which every thing is kept. Her pan
tries, wash-rooms, and kitchen are mod
els of order and correct arrangement.
Her gentleman's cabin has been fitted
with sky-light, opening above the hur-
ricane deck,thus rendering it as cool and
pleasant as summer parlor. sa
The captain of the Monroe, is gen
tleman who holds commission as cap
tain in the United States navy, and is
now on a turlough. The correct disci-
pline whichhe maintains s-the attention
I to order and neatness which is every
where exhibited, and above all the cor
rect and gentlemanly department both Of
the officers and subordinates, plainly
evince the skill and judgment Of
him who governs the whole. In short,
Lake Erie may safely be challenged to
produce another boat offering SO many
comforts to the traveller, and so many
inducements to travel as the steamboat
Monroe.

D1vERs1oN.-Accordlng to the Troy
Wing, the water passing over the dam
at that place, took occasion to diuert it.
SELF and in the course of its gambols left
some three thousand lamprey eels upon
the apron at the east end Of the dam.
This may have been fine fun for the wa
ter, but could not have been so amusing
to the fishes which were taken. This is
almost as bad as the contemplated d.
version once held in store for the Wa
bash and Erie canal, by our late broad
brimmed chief magistrate.

The FoURTH OF JuLY.-As yet we
have heard Of no preparations having
been made, for celebrating this conse.
Grated day of our nations birth. 1t is
one of the common sins of the times
to neglect it. Have the inhabitants o
our town fallen into the error?

upon the nation. Ruined credits, broken
fortunes and a PROSTATE commerce, are
now the prevailing topics Of the times.
Money isindeed the soul Of our country.
But what shall be donel The means
used TO produce the present state of af-
fairs, have been fairly exposed. The or
i igin of the causes which led to their a
doption, is clearly discerned. The con-
sequences are seen, felt, realized. The
fact is, the specie currency is no co.
Paper must be used-must have the con-
fidence of government. Our country
cannot step from adolescence into matu-
rity. Nor can her political or moral
strength, or the combined force Of both,
aided by the pretensions of innumerable
sycophants, breast her against the strong
and rapid current Of public calamities,
distresses and misfortunes now bursting
forth, from the fountain heads of power.
RelieGand that speedily, must come from
some quarter for the safety Of the nation.
Individual, as we'll as national applica-
tions have been made to foreign powers,
but their condition is such, as forbids
even temporary assistance. We must
have resources of our own. 1t has been
clearly shown, that there is neither spe-
Gle or materials of which to manufacture
it, enough in the world to supply our
immediate wants. Equally true is it
that our confidence in local and state
banks, is much impaired if not entirely
lost. We must have national bank,
chartered, endowed, and sustained by
government, and trust to Montesquieus
principles of,virtue, as a safeguard a.
gainst its mischievous effects upon the
country. If we cannot do this in money
matters, we cannot in any other matters
Of national import, and in country SO
rapidly advancing in arts, science, and
improvements as ours, there is but little
to hope, still less to labor for, if the virtue
of the people is TO be chained to the car
ofexecutive power, or made the sport of
every party breeze that blows.
