THE TROUBLES IN CANADA.-On this cub,
ject the National Intelligencer of Friday re-
marks :-"There is every reason to fatter
ourselves that the danger, which has SO vis-
bly, impended for some weeks past, of
bloody war being engendered on our north
ern border by combinations against the laws
and against our friendly relations with Great
Britain, is now over. We trust that there
will be no disappointment of this hope and,
from the opinion expressed by our New York
correspondent, and concurrent information
from all quarters, our trust amounts almost to.
firm reliance. 1t would be ungenerous to,
withhold the expression of the grntifcutiop
which we have experienced at the exhibition
of combined energy, promptitude, and dscre-
lion, on the part of the officers of the Army,
who, with so slender force in their hands,
have mainly contributed in putting down tho
lawless insurrection within our own limits,
under pretence Of exuberant Canadian pa
triotism. The signal service rendered 10
their country, on this occasion, will render
yet more dear to their countrymen the re-
spccted names Of ScoTT, Wool, BRADY, and
WORTH"

II is truly disgusting to notice the
whining and cant Of the Tory papers in
this State, in relation TO the vote Of Hon.
RoBERT B. CRANsroN, on the appoint
ment Of Committee 10 inv estig ate the
circumstances attending the recent duel
at Washington. To the managers of
these papers, therefore, we have nothing
to say on that subject-but to persons
who honestly entertain doubts in regard
to the propriety Of that vote, we would
call their attention to the following arti-
Gle from the Providence Journal, which
in our judgment fully and sufficiently ex-
plains the matter. We would luther
add, that we know Mr.. C's private views
in reference to the barbarous practice Of
duelling, are in perfect accordance with
the general sentiment of New Eng land
on that subject.
ROBERT b. CRANsToN.-We observe that
several of 'the party" presses are raising
hue and cry because our Representative,
whose name is at the head of this paragraph,
was among the nays upon the motion TO sus-
pend the rules af the House to enable Mr.
Fairfield to introduce his resolution for the
appointment of committee "to investigate
the causes which led to the death ofthe Hon.
Jonathan Cilley."
i With tire usual candor and honesty that
characterize papers such as those referred TO-,
it is boldly, and most impudently as well as
falsely asserted, that Mr.. Cranston endeavor-
ed to siife the investigation. Any one ac-
quanted with the gentleman whose conduct
it is thus attempted to stigmatize, will be
satisfied that nothing can be farther from the
truth and If any thing were necessary in
confirmation of the belief, u careful perusal
Of the debate would furnish it.
There was difference of opinion among
those in favor Of an investigation, with re-
spect to the most suitable time for instituting
it. Several thought it advisable to wait un-
til the excitement, that prevailed had some
what moderated, in order that the business
might be accomplished under the influence
Of calmer and more unbiased Judgments
Such we believe to have been the case with
MIR. Cranston, and he voted accordingly.
Such too, unqnestionably, was the case
with John Sergeant,o of Pennsylvania; states
man, whom none, uninfuenced by party
views, would accuse Of attempting to stjRe
inquiry. Mr.. Bell is third against whom
the same charge is made, although he er-
pressty declared, that the only reason of his
objecting to Mr.. Farfelds proposition was
shat he thought it better to postpone any ac-
ton in relation to the subject for fe,o days,
until existing excitement should have had
time to subside." His objection was not to
the action, but, 10 the time of action. So far
from endeavoring TO stNe the matter, he
moved that it should be taken up for consid-
GRAFTON that day week.
A cause must be most miseraby weak
that requires for its support such flinisy and
pitiful charges as that brought against Mr..
Cransion; charge which we did not believe
the presses in our own State would be guilty
of reiterating.

MORE WHIG VICTORIES,

The Albany Argus, Van Buren organ, has
expunged his caption of"Reactions." Coop
erstown, Otsego Co, noted Regency den,
is redeemed, spite Of the attempt to drive
back the whig votes. The yhigs have elect
ed five of their town officers the tories have
had their majority reduced to four from 13O
last fall. Cherry Valley, spite of Senator
Beardsey's visit on "private business" has
given 80 votes more than last fall, and still
so whig majority again as then. Worcester,
Otsego, has done nobly. Last fall the Re-
gency had l5S majority, this spring the whg
supervisor has 6S majority!
In Oswego Co. the Wing majorities have
increased 25 per cent since last fall. In
Mexico, 544 votes were polled, the largest
number by 100 ever polled there. The
Wings carried every officer but the collector.
From the returns of the towns of Oswego,
Scribe, Palermo, Volney, Gran,ly, Albion,
Worcester and Westport, there is scarcely q
doubt but there is majority of Wings in the
Board of supervisors.
In Schoharie county, the Wings have car
ricd Summit Jefferson and Blenheim-Whig
gain since last fall, 262.
In Jefferson county, the Wings have cur
ried Ia out of the l8 towns heard from-only
one town to hear from. Elisburg, last fall a
tie, gives this spring $50 Wing majority
The Tories are completely prostrated every
where. The whole West is in arms for the
Fall contest.

We have but little time at present to
notice the pitful effusons of the Tory
print in this place.-One article in that
paper of yesterday, we will, however,
briefly notice. They boldly deny that
the Tories are endeavorng TO turn to po-
litical account the late duel at Washing
ton, while at the same time, most Of the
articles contained in their columns, have
a manifest and decided tendency to that
especial object. The managers Of tha,
paper must really be very weak to ilnag
inc, that they can succeed in inducing
any portion Of the sensible part of the
community to credit their false assertions.
Without going into particulars, we will
merely say, that it appears to be the de-
sign of the Tory party, strongly exhibit
ed in the first place in the columns ofthe
Globe at Washington, and reiterated by
the press of that party throughout the
country, to induce belefthat the Wings
are in an especial manner answerable
Tor the fatal consequences Of that unfor-
tunate affair. In proof of this, we simply
notice the efforts made by Halleu, and
other Tory editors in Boston, to produce
an effect on the New-Hampshire elec-
tion, which has just taken place-te say
nothing Of Isaac Hil's paper (the New
Hampshire PATRIOT being dressed in
mourning for the same purpose. Shame

SPECIE PAYMENTS.

The meeting of the merchants at the New
York Exchange, on Wednesday afternoon,
9TH inst. was numerously attended. 1t was
called to order by CHARLES Fl. RUSSELL,
Esq on whose motion JAMES BOORMAN, Esq.
was appointed Chairman, and JAMES LEE and
The following resolutions, offered by PELA-
rIAH PERT, Esq, and seconded by SAMUEL
WARD, Esq were thereupon read and unani-
mously adopted:
Resolved, That this meeting halls with
great satisfaction the declaration on the part
of the New-York city banks of their purpose
to resume specie payments on or before the
10th of May next.
Resolved, That VIC have entire confidence
in the solidity of our banks, and in their abili-
ty to resume and maintain specie payments,
and that in this measure we will give them
our cordial and active corporation.
Resolved, That, independently of moral
obligation and Legislative enactment, the ia /.
vorable state OF foreign exchanges and the
diminished liabilities both of banks and indi
vduals, call for "a prompt resumption OF spe-
Gle payments, and we consider such a course
the surest means Of equalizing ultimately our
internal exchanges and of restoring general
prosperity.
Resolved, That in contemplating the re-,
sumption of specie payments, we can per-
ceive no reason to appreheDd that it will
occasion any farther contraction on the port
Of the Banks; but on the contrary, that tho
restoration of confidence, which must neces-
sarily grow out of that measure, will lead to
a gradual increase Of their issues, and enable
them to extend greater facilities to the COM
munity.
Resolved, That regarding the general re.
sumption of specie payments by the Banks
throughout the United States as essential To
our national credit abroad, and as calculated
to regulate our internal exchanges, we re-
spectfully invite the institutions OF other
States to a simultaneous effort to accomplish
this most desirable object

n REACTIONS. q

The Tory paper in this place, in its
almost death struggle to keep up the
"drooping spirits" of the party, continues
to persist in its wiIful mis-statements in
regard to the Charter Elections going on
ia the State of New York. They have
returns, they say, which "aflord crafty
ing evidence Of the reaction which has
taken place in that State since the elec-
ton in November last"-but their limits,
they continue, prevent their copying any
details. Their great "re-action" ac-
counts turn out as VIC have previously
stated-mere fabrications to gull the
public. Though we have hitherto at
tached but little importance to these g.
lections, still as our opponents are en-
deavoring to make something out them,
we subjoin a few returns, in addition 10
those published in our last, to show the
extent Of the "re-actiOns" actually TAX

tions," and there will not be as much

AS to the elections in Massachusetts,
they are welcome to all the consolation
they can get there, which, by the by,
we shall show, if occasion serves, to be
mighty small. Their statements must be
endorsed by papers better entitled to
credit than the Fall River Patriot, pa
per which has recently been. abandoned
by its own party, and is now kept up
principally by a Lottery broker in Tiv-
erton, to circulate his advertisements
