u We briefly acknowledge tie receipt
last evening Of pamphle, euniled "a Re-
port ot the important hearing of the Nemo-
''d' ct the New ENGLAND Coat MINING
O"MPANr, for eneOurageRtnt from He State;
ana the numerous petitions Of the treehoH-
ers IN 0'd- OF he same: Jtfore the Select
Special COMMITTEE of the General AssembV
Of Rhode Island and ProrioIepee PIoafa-
tiOns. Together nh tie RepJrt of the
Committee unanimously 0doPted By the As
semJty, in focor of The prayer ofthe Memo-
TidHsts and Petitioners, and Of GeOlogic-

New England, ls3o". We have not had
time to examine 1t, but will do so and notice
II in our next.
John +. Espy, Esq. of Philadelphia has
presented petition To Congress, setting
forth that he has discovered The means of
making it rain in any particular tracts of
country. lie proposes to do this at his own
expense, and asks of Congress n premium
IN case of success; the premium TO depend
upon the extent of surface watcrcd by this
artificial method. Mr. Espy is well known,
and highly intelligent man, and his petition
is signed by some of the most eminent sci
entilic gentlemen Of Philadelphia, who state
that his views are founded upon strictly phi
losophical principles, and would in all prob
ability succeed. Mr.. Espy also processes to
be able to raise the Ohio river II, his pleas
ure. The petition, after some discussion in
the Senate, was laid on the table. The
Philadelphia Gazette expresses some alarm
at the wonderful invention, as will be seen
hy the annexed extract.
If our indcfa,igabe friend Espy should
succeed in establishing his theory with re-
spect to rains, he will have effected a more
wonderful improvement upon the weather,
which, it must be confessed, is often sadly
deficient in rectltude of conduct. The times
of drought and small potatoes" will cease,
for every farmer will have it in his pow
er to burn pile of wood and grow his own
thunderstorm. Think of taking out the copy
right Of n tempest, or n patent for n whirl-
wind The danger is, we think, if Mr..
Espy succeeds, and the modus opersnd of
his system becomes known, that any one
vino llhes will take possession Of it, and
create much mischief thereby.-Nauchty
persons would cultivate storms from malice
afo:ethonght and they would come in
time we fear, to conflict with the freedom of
elections. The fires of party spirit would
result in deluge; and success, irrespcc-
tive of the merits of measures or men, would
crown tho side that could make tie most
water The progress of steam may yet be
50 great that man may travel whiherso-
ever he liseth by fastening TO his carriage
front huge boiling tea pot, on wheels, and
when this shall come t, pass, and men will
have 1t in their power to fling tornadoes or
chain lightning Mt each other, we shall be-
gin 10 tremble for the safety of our rrpuhli-
can institutions"

this effect: That the financial policy es-
tablshed by the first acts Of our nsiional
| legislature, in relation to the collection Of
the revenue, especially the nets approved by
President Washington, July 81 and Sept.

genius Of our government and our constitu-

| series of acts departed from that the taxes
ought not to exceed the absolute wants of

gents who are not made by the constitution

and that the original rule Of tho government
to receive and pay out nothing but what is

WHIG VICTORIES.

Many Of the whg victories which loom
ed largely in the mist of a morning twilight
have dwindled strangely as the morn ad-
vanees, and when looked for BY daylight,
have disappeared altoge,her.-Such among
others is the Georgia victory, which was
pnraded in staring capitals as among their
most glorious achievements. 1t appears
tha, resolutions approving Of the plan Of an
Independent Treasury have passed the
Georgia House Of Representatives. by a
vote Of 90 to 67--and there are indications
which render it nearly certain that the same
resolutions, without essential alterations,
will be adopted by the Senate. This the
wings themselves have chosen to regard ns
q test qsestion.--And thus vanishes the
whig victory in Gcorgia. Hartford 1f~e''

II srather remarkable (says the Boston At
las) that while the Tories have made consid-
cradle gain IN the southern counties of Yer
mont, which Martin Van Buren, did not honor
with visit, during his late political tour,- in
the northern counties, which Mr.. Van Buren,
did honor with visit, the Tories have met
with very decided loss.
The good people of the northern counties
had been so often told that Martin Van Buren,
was democrat, tina; they naturally supposed
there was some truth in il but when they
once came to see the dapper ltile dandy, they
altered their minds at once.

less than 200. The two loco foco senators are
elected, but we have 10 wing members in the

and sometimes the other. We are beat pro

we Jailed this year, and will apply the proper
remedy next.

The result Of the election has fully equalled
cur expectations. Vermont has again triumph
ed over the combined efforts Of the Boston Gus
tom house, office holders, and paid pariizan ed
itors, &c, and gained another crown for her yr-
tue and consistency. The Wing colors are still
flying, and will never be lowered while Massa-
