FROM CANADA.

We. are indebted to the New Orleans
Bulletin of the Both November, for the fol-
lowing particulars of bloody conflict in
Canada. 1t will be seen that the patriots
have been defeated, after most desperate
engagement at Windmill Point, with loss
unparalleled in the history of this rebellion.
This battle will probably decide the further
progress of the insurgents, and prevail upon
them TO retire to their homes in peace and
quetude.

The notorious abolition paper, tho Clnr
cinnati Ph1anthropisi, openly and boldly an
nounces, that the abolitionists woR the late
victory for the Van Buren party, and lmper-
aiiveiy demands in their behalf asihe need
OF their services, The re-election of that vlo-
aholilionist, Thomas Morris, TO the Sea-
pteoflhe U. States. Hear its languages:
"Let the legislature refuseto elect Morris
and in his stead a friend Of gags--a man, that
will surrender the rights of the free white
citizens, to the siaye-holders--that will gofpr
Clay's and Calhonn's resolutions, &cs--and
the next election will give them the why
and the wherefore of their present success.
1t will be distinctly perceived, that though
Morris may not be more popular than others
of his party he has brought in men, which
no other man could; and that as they came
for hissake only, 50 by his reelection will
they be satisfied )"
This is exceedingly plain talk. The Ohio
aholitionists know the power which thelr
position gives them over the Tory party, and
they are resolved to exercise it to its fullest
extent. They even use to their Van Buren,
allies the language not only OF dlctatlon, bu'
Of taunt and defiance. They say--"You
must re-elect our friend Morris, for nothing
else will satisfy us. Refuse tore-elect him
and the nert election shall gipe goa the irhJ
and the ,rherefore Of your late success!!"
And so the Tories of Ohio have found mas
ters and dctators where they only expected
to find but allies.--The language of the alb
olitionists, like that Of Queen Elizabeth, is
ave trocked you, and you shall do our
6idd ding, or rce'H unfrock you"

In letter by Secretary Woodbury., to
the Secretary of State of New Hampshire,
in which he declines becoming Chief JUS
tice of that state, he says:
"The situation offered is, also, agreea-
BILE tome personally; and, if consulting
only my own predictions, | should, with
out hesitation, proceed to enter on the per-
Torrance of its honorable duties.
"But looking to the difficulties, that still
surround the important trust now hold,
the opinion of many is that various consi-
derations of public and paramount cha
racter exist, which ought to prevent my
voluntary withdrawal from it at this juno
ture, Venture, therefore, to hope, that in
declining the appointment of Chief JUS
tice, as hereby do, my motives will be
duly appreciated, and that it will not be
tribvted to any inadequate sense of the
honor conferred, or, what would be equal

THE GREAT vALLY.

A writer in the Knickerbocker
speaks of the Mississippi Valley as one
that has no parallel on earth. Its
length may be estimated at not less
than two thousand FIVE hundred miles;
and its main breadth at from twelve to
fifteen hundred. He adduces many
facts toprove, that il was once covered
by an immense ocean, and that the
great change was brought about oy
repeated and long continued volcanic
tonvulsions. He describes this Vally
as not only the most delightful, the
richest, and the fairest portion OF the
earth, but capable Of sustaining Pop
ulation of a hundred millions.--Bc'h

The question of abolitionism was intro

posed of the Elders ofthe Steuben Baptist
Association, in Pennsylvania, and was
met by that body in manner that re-

of the question, the discussion was arrest

Henry Clay's opposition to the poor set
tiers on the public lands-squatters as
they are generally called, has ever been
as warm and unhinching as was that of
Hannibal to the Romans. Hannibal swore

and Clay, in the following language, ex-
presses his eternal enmity to the settlers
Oh the unoccupied land:

lands were LAWLESS RABBLE; that
they might as well seize upon our forts
and arsenals, or on the public treasury, as
to rush out and seize on the public lands.

The following is from the Baltimore Re-
publican; ga gem" of the first water-per-
fectly in character; none who know Mr..
Prentiss, could expect better from him:
"In his billlngsgate exhibition on the
subject of the "Resurrection noteo bill,
Mr.. Prentiss pronounced it to be "the last
struggle of the Sub-Treasury scheme, the
last hair on its hide, the last puppy of the
litter, the rump of the Sub Treasury bill.
That bill itself had been dead, dead, dead
and buried, and the loco loco worms were
feeding luxuriously upon it."
We commend the above elegant extract
to the critical taste of 'all the refinement
party, particularly to the pouncet box lit
erary dandyism which is made so squeam-
ish at the blunt frankness of DR.. Duncan's
letter to his constituents. 1t will prove
quite bon-bon to the Dartmoor editor of
the New York "American."
