DEFIANCE BANNER.-A paper with the
above title, is about to be established at De-
fiance, Williams county. Its politics will be
whig, and its size, Imperial. From our ac-
quaintance with the character and talents Of
the gentleman who has undertaken its edto-

no hesitation in recommending the Banner to
all who wish to patronise a spirited and judi

The late powder and ballings of the Cana
da war, have produced one seriously bad ef-
feet in Buffalo and Detroit, in the general and
careless use Of fire arms. Persons have been
shot and dangerously wounded in both places,
by persons whose valor was unaccompaned
with discretion enough to. entitle them to the
use of any instrument more dangerous than a
case knife.

We have been informed, that quarrel has

we think Manhattan is the place for the bridge,

The following graphic delineation of the
benefits which have resulted from the liberal
policy pursued by the General Government
towards our Western country, is from the pen
of Henry Smith, Esq. of Monroe, and is ta-
ken from his Report as Superintendent of Pub
lie Works onLake Erie. y y ~
"Until the commencement ofthe sys..
tenn of Improvement Of lake harbors by
the Government OF the United States,
the immense extent Of country occupy
ing the south shore of Lake Erie. or de-
pendent on it for commercial facilities,
was wilderness. The navigation Of the
lake was attended with the utmost delay,
difficulty, and danger. The mouths of
the several streams emptyng themselves
into the lake were uniformly INSTRUCTED
by sand and vegetable matter, creating
stagnant bodies of water which overflow
ed the lowlands for miles, generating an
atmosphere which rendered the country
nearly uninhabitable from. disease {; at
the same time that the streams them
selves were entirely inaccessible as re-
fuge for vessels, and in all respects an
evil rather than a benefit TO the surroun-
ding country. 1t is almost unnecessary
to say that the judicious improvements
made under the acts Of Congress have
entirely changed all this; and many mil
lions Of acres Of land of the most fertile
description, embracing the western
portion of the State of Newly ork,
the northern part OF Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Indiana, and Illinois, and the whole Of
Michigan, owe theirpresent settlement
and improvement, in very greatdegree,
to this cause. These improvements
have also been direct cause of the unex-
ampled sales Of the public lands in the
Northwestern States and Territories, ly-
ing along or dependent on the great
lakes for their principle means Of ACCESS
and commerce. The mouths Of the Hu-
ron, Black river, Cuyahoga, Grand river,
Ashtabula, and Conneaut, across each
of which the beach of the lake was con-
tinuous, and the only drain for which
was by filtration through the sandy were
opened, and kept open by piers and 9TH
er improvements; beacon lighthouses
have beeen erected. and these streams,
as well as other works at the east end
of the lake, now afford secure harbors,
accessible at all times to vessels naviga-
