and happy would il be, for them, il discus

far as the constitution Of the United States
authorizes slavery, its provisions should be
held sacred. II is a solemn compact, the

far as The aboltionisis would interfere with,
or attempt to abrogaie one title of those
terms, they are dishonest as men, and dan
gerous to the tranquility If the country as
citizens. Bot, ON the other hand, the South
are equally wrong when they ask or expect
the North 10 extend, or consent to extend,
in any form, within their jurisdiction the
evil Of slavery.
The South are wrong in another particu-

an ascendancy over their reason, aud in

II In the Senate, Feb 20, Mr.. Ellis present
ed petition for Rail Road through the south
ern tier of counties, from the inhabitants of Mon
roe. This il one of three routes for rail roads,
which have fair prospect of passing during the
present session Of the Legislature. One is pro-
posed to run thrsugh the middle. and another the
northern tier of counties.
The southern route will probably commence
near Lake Eric, at Monroe. and end at New
Buffalo, ON Lake Michigan, a most direct con-
Meeting link in the great chain of steamboat and
locomotive communication, from Boston, via
Albany, Rochester, Buffalo, and Chicago. 70
Galena, and onward. This village and Nl,s
being on the line direct, between Monroe and
New-Buffalo, will of course be received az points
of some consideration in the location of the
route.
This route, being through the most extensive
ly cultivated, rich and thickly inhabited counties
of the state, will undoubtedly he the first Of tn:
three routes to put in operation. Though the
construction Of all may commence a the same
time, the drawing of this 10 completion first
under lucrative and commercial considerations
and as a source of revenue to the state, viii be
deemed all important.
II is rumOred that tho Legislature have JUS
passed tho aci for the three routes, and that they
have also appropriated two hundred thousant
dollars, for beginning ON the southern one. 1
so, it is indeed encouraging; and we may lool
for hasty grubbing out of the stumps. and
speedy growth to commercial importance. of u,
charming spot named Constantine.

THE OTTAWA IGDIANs-The remnants OF
the Ottawa tribe of Indians, which have re-
mained in this neighborhcod since the deYart-
ure of the great body of the tribesfor fthe
country west of the Mississippi, four years
since, took their departure on Thursday last,
for the same region. They left by water, on
board the steamboat Com. Perry for Cleve-
lane, thence by the Ohio Canal TO Portsmouth,
and by the Ohio and Mississippi rivers to the
place Of their destination, under the care OF
Col. John McElvain of Columbus, Ohio, as SUI
perintendant, and Capt. w. j.. Cruger of
Rochester, N. Y. as assistant superintendent
and Disbursng agent. Messrs. John Mack,
d. II. Forsyth and C. Roby, OF this place, are
also attached to the expedition, the former in
Commissariats capacity, and the two latter
as Interpreters.
1t was really an amusing and an affecting
sight, to behold this little remnant Of once
powerful tribe, take their departure forever
from the country of their birth. The deep
feeling manifested by some at leaving the
country of their nativity the busting impor-
tance of others, whom day of parade and ac-
tion had made great the really busy air OF
preparation carried by others, who more
thrifty than the rest, had prepared themselves
with many articles which they considered use
ful in their migration, or valuable afterwards
the n.audlin sentimentality Of tipsey chief,
whose family remains, at his last leave taking,
and the sincere and camorous grief of his
mother and sisters on seeing him depart, these
connected with the yells of the joyous, the
moaning of the sorrowful, the growing of the
pnppooses, the yelping Of the thousand dogs
connected with the tribe, and the low melan-
choly tones Of the Indian flute, conspired to
create scene, such as cannot be often seen,
nor easily forgotten.
We understand that considerable number
of the Indians still remain, uupersuaded By the
offers of the agent. and uninduced by the
prospect of more congenial country west of
the Mississippi.

a vein of water, containing mineral prop
critics to "a considerable extent, has lately been
discovered at Erie, Pa. under circumstances
quite singular and unusual. A family in that
Borough were surprised by finding an unusual
taetc in their coffee which had been prepared
for breakfast, and were induced to make
search in the well for the purpose of discov-
ering the cause. A slight investigation suf-
feed to satisfy them that change had come
over the spirit of the waters, and that they
were no longer useful for culinary purposes.
An analysis, such as the limited means there
TO be had, was instituted, which resulted in
tho discovery that the water contains Mag
nesia, Soda and Saline matter, but in what
quantities is yet unknown. Several persons
afflicted with the Bronchocele---a goiterous
enlargement of the Thyroid glands, have made
use of the water, and have experienced con-
siderable relief from their painful and almost
incurabe complaint. The waters are cathar-
tiein their effects, and emetic, if taken in any
considerable quantities.

RTHE OAsIs.--We have received the first
number of monthly Literary and Scientific
journal, bearingt the above title, published at
oswego, N. Wand edited BY Joseph Nelson
and John S. Randall. 1t is quarto size, and
contains sixteen pages. The literary matter
contained in the first number is, so far as we
have been able to Judge, very good, and the
original articles and editorial remarks are, to
say the least, highly creditable to the authors
and editors. We are happy to witness the
growth of literary enterprise on our western
borders, and would hope that the Oasis may
long remain fertile and dourishing, and that it
may never be buried beneath the sands Of for
getfulness.
