The TALL GENTLEMAN WITH SANDY HAIR.
The apparition of tall gentleman with
sandy hair, among US within few days, has
caused variety of surmises among the good
people of this and the neighbcring towns, as
to the cause of his appearance. We doubt
whether ssthe man with claret colored coat"
or even the slow, black, piratical schooner
off the capes fthe Delaware . created grea-
ter sensation than has the tall gentleman with
sandy hair, with his accompaniments OF a
team of four white horses, aud wagon loaded
with large boxes, Of a Suspicious look, withal.
Was the tall gentleman with sandy hair, 1--WE
love to repeat the whole description) General
VanRensselaer! Were the large boxes, with
a suspicious look, arms Were the four white
horses, chargers! The tall gentleman with
sandy hair had an interview with General
Sutherland, ,at Toledo! What would we have
given to have heard the conversation of the
parties on that momentous occasion! Per-
haps ----- perhaps --- but even invention
is at loss, fancy starts back aghast at the
Herculean task of unrayelling the tangled
sken before her. Suffice to say, the tall gem
tleman with sandy hair went on his way, and
the suspicious boxes accompanied him, and the
four white chargers aided in the locomotion.
Yea, merrily as marriage bell went they on
their journeyings they took the road to Mich

LEGISLATIVE MATTERs.--Our read

some little solicitude as to othe fate of
sundry petitions which they have from
time to time forwarded for the consider
alton of the Legislature, and they will
no doubt, feel relieved with the news that
many Of their matters have received
their quietus, though not exactly in the

titions praying for the improvement r n49,; o. Inc

Mr.. Oliver, from the Canal commit
tee, to whom had been referred sundry
petitions relating to the construction OF
BRIDGES over canals, reported unfavora-
blv to e any alteration of the present law
upon the subject, and :he committee was was
discharged.
Mr. Oliver. of the Canal Committee,
n which had been referred sundry petI-
tions praying that certain portlon OF
the Wabash and Erie Canal be made
go feet wide, and 6 feet deep, reported
adversely to the measure, and were dls-
charged, &c.
In regard to the first petition, perhaps
no just ground of censure exists towards
the committee. The Legislature have
manifested disinclination to involve the
State further in works ofmagnitude, and
in our opinion very properly, taking IN n
to consideration the difficulties OF the
times, and the high cost OF the pubic
works Of the state, IN consequence OF
these difficulties. Still we cannot but
feel with our friends in Williams county
upon the subject, knowing as we do' the
extreme feasibility Of the plan proposed
in the petition, and being convinced that
a moiety Of the money expended upon d,
the public works in the State, which will
in the event prove entirely worthless
during the past year, would have crea-
ted a Slack-water Navigation for thirty
or forty miles, through one Of the rich
est districts Of land in the state, and
which is excelled by none other, IN It's
rapid growth and improvement.
We cannot, however, but feel that the
State is dishonored by the report OF the
committee in relation to the Wabash and
Erie Canal, between the junction and
the State line. While all the other por'
tions of the canal are constructed sixty
feet wide and six feet deep, with perma
nent locks Of stone, this part is fobbee
off upon Indiana, as a piece OF worf
by the job, only forty feet wide and fou'
feet deep. Itis an act of bad faith to 8
State that generously gave up ;
good bargain when it was in her oEglf owr
hands, in favor of a sister State who hae
no claim upon it. ei A

We understand that petition is to be pre-
sented to the Legislature, at the present ses-
sion, for the charter Of McAdam road from
this place to the nearest point upon the Toledo
and Adrian railroad. If this should be done,
and the road constructed, the effect would be
obvious. The travel in the winter would be
drawn from the railroad, at the point of in
tersection, and sent in straight line, through
the Black Swamp, by the way of Maumee and
Perrysburg, instead of going out of the way
fifteen or twenty miles to Toledo.

BANKS OF MIoHIGAN.--Public sentiment
seems to have gone counter to the late Gene
raj Banking Law of our sister State; for
while the notes of the chartered Banks are
daily growing in favor with the community,
those ofthe new institutions are losing ground.
Pity that the democratic experiment should
succeed SO i'll. Pity that the Peoples money
should be SO much below par. There are how
ever, some of the late institutions which are
as solvent as any of the old ones, without
doubt, and it is more the pity, that in these
pinching times, the bad odour of the doubtful
ones should taint all the others of the same
hatch.

MONUMENT IN HONOR OF DE WITT CLINTON.
Mr.. Denniston has introduced into the
House of Representatives of New York, a
resolution for the erection of monument in
honor ofthe late De Witt Clinton. The state
of New York should, long since, have paid
that tribute Of respect to the memory OF her
greatest statesman, and her wisest Chief Mag
istrate but the memory of De Witt Clinton
needs no monument to ensure its perpetuity.
&C Stored urn, nor animated BUST" can give
additional lustre to name which is written
in indelible characters upon every great a.
chievement Of American enterprise. Where
are not monuments in honor of De Witt Clin-
ton! They are to be found in every valley
and on every hill. The East, the West, the
North and the South are full of them. They
are to be found in the hearts of the whole A
merican people. De Witt Clinton gave an
impetus to the mind of the age in which he
lived. His gigantic intellect accelerated the
pace of our nations strides to greatness, and
first shadowed forth that line of policy which,
if faithfully and judiciously pursued, will rem
der our country all that patriot could desire.
