Whereas. A certain faction, calling
themselves the Dirty Shirts" strongly
suspect, that some Of their neigbbors

GEN. McELvAIN.-This distinguished
old democrat and honest man has come out
in favor of Harrison and reform. Being oI
the good old Pennsylvania stamp Of democ-
rncy, he could not reconcile it to his con-
science to support for President, the ariSto'
cratic lawyer, Van Buren, who rides in an
English coach, employs an English Gard
ner at salary of twelve hundred dollars
year at the public expense, and who has
his table covered every day with gold and sill
ver dishes;-in opposition to the honest and
patriotic farmer OF North Bend, who when
not in the service ofbis country in cabinet or
field, has earned his daily bread by the sweat
.ofhis brow. Gen. McElvain was staunch
jackson man, for the same reason that he
lis true Harrison man-becausc he wished
a reform in the executive branch Of the
government. Indeed we do not see how
any original Jacksonlan, can without desert
ing his principles, go over to Van Buren, or
fail to support General Harrison.
We will publish the letter of Gen. McEl-
vain in our next paper.

We have information here that the banks
IN Cincinnati, except the Trust Company
have again suspended, and that the pet bank
of the government, :he Commercial, is in
the crowd. 1t is said that Hatch, the Bank
Commissioner, is SO dissatisfied with the
existing enactments of the Legislature that
he intends resigning rather than officlate in
enforcing them.-P Portsmouth Tribune.
So ho the work of Bank Reform is fin
ishef by another suspension in the Qneen

Commissioner Hatch, for we do not learn
that Bank Commissioner Hubbard is better
than man of straw in Office. Col. Ma
nypenny has resigned his office as Bank
Commissioner in. disgust; Fund Commits
sioner Lake is flooding the State with Post
Notes; Kilgore has resigned, & McCracken
report says he is about to. The Banks are
prohibited from issuing small bills--the peo-
pie cannot get hold Of fives and upwards
on which to get specie, and it is even doubt
full whether they could get much from the
banks if they had their promises 'to pay on

Row IN THE PENNSYLVANIA LEGISLATURE.
"A quarrel arose between Mr.. McElwee,
Of Bedford county, and Mr.. Higgins of Nor
thnmberand county, on the floor of the
House Of Representatives on Saturday last.
After calling each other pretty names, the
parties proceeded to action: Mr.. McElwee
spit in the face of Mr.. Higgins, and Mr.. H.
struck Mr.. NJ. Several members here in
terfered and spoiled the sport. There was
no pretence of political rancor. as the COM
batants both belong to the dominant party.
1t is said that Mr.. NJ. Is strong, stout
man, and Mr.. H. feeble and of dwarfsh
proportion. Some Internal Improvement
project was the cause of the dispute.
Wehave strong suspicion, founded or
several circumstances, that the next Legis-
lature Of Pennsylvaniawill contain a large
proportion of new members.
P. S.--Mr. McElwee has been erpelled
from the House for the indignity offeredtt
lit by his vile assault on Mr.. Hegins--by I
vote of So to s6. Party lines were wholly
disregarded in this vote. Much excitement
prevailed in Harrisburgh at our last adyices

MAuMER CouNTRY.-There are probably
few sections of the union SO generally mis-
understood as this. From the acknowl-
edged liability of the immediate borders
.ofour river to agues and other bilious dis
orders, a character for unhealthiness has
been given to the whole ueghborng coun-
try. Thisis an error. No country of the
west in the same stage of settlement and
Improvement is in general more healthy,
IT'S advantages to the farmer are very appa-
rent. Situated near the outlet of the great
Wabash and Erie and Miami canals, and
near the noble harbor at the west end oil
Lake Erie formed by the river, intercourse
with all parts of the Union and Canada,
will at all times be easy and cheap. The
soil is of every variety known in the west,
sexcep: the dry rolling praires that form SO
distinguishing feature of upper Indiana
and Illinois. Ours, though less inviting in
aspect, is not less fertile, and when prop
.erly improved and appropriated, it will from
its position be far more productive OF clear
profits. Much of our timbered land is un-
surpassed for its adaptation to grasses of
the richest kind. 1t in general possesses a
large share OF the salts of lime SO necessa-
ry to the growth of our best grains. That
(which is not adapted to grass seems after
a few years tillage to be well fitted for
wheat. Some of it is level -some gently
waving and some hllly in moderate de-
gree. In some parts it is clothed with for
.ests, in others with grass alone, and consi-
derable portions with both trees and grass
constituting beautiful oak openings. Such
is the country that surrounds us. In no
part Of the States can such land SO favora-
ibly situated be bought so cheap. This Is
.owing to the popular apprehensions OF
sickness mentioned in the opening OF this
article.

OswEGo RouTR.--We notice that pub
lie meeting has lately been holden at Oswe-
go, at which Mr.. Bronson, chairman of the
committee to draft resolutions expressive
of the sense of the me citing, states, that
there were then upwards of sixty vessels in
tho harbor of that town destined for lake
Erie that the Welland Canal and Lake
Erie, westward ofthe entrance ofthat canal
into 1t as well as lake Ontario and its harbor
were clear of ice and IN good condition for
navigation by the first of the present month;
but that this important channel of trade
with the great west, was useless because
the canal commissioners of New York re-
fused 10 have the Erie canal and the Oswe-
go branch opened before the Goth. This
the committee think great hardship; and it
seems to us entirely wrong for New York
to wait for the lower end of this lake TO be
clear Office to Buffalo when route between
our lake and New York by way of Oswego,
might be in operation about one month ear
Iier. The route by way o. lake Ontario is
the natural one for our trade,and we fervent-
ly hope that before dozen years pass away,
the Welland Canal will be so enlarged as
to pass large steamboats, through it. The
great trade of the Upper lakes should not
be compelled to wait every spring for the
melting away of the immense mass of ice
tina. usually is pressed into its northeast
ern extremity.

FARMERS.

We notice with much pleasure that the
Farmers on all sides of us are fast bring
ing the land into a productive condition.
Nothing can be more beautiful than the
fields of wheat, which are, in some portions
ofLncas county, numerous and large. 1t is
videntthatindustry ndfrugality have taken
the place ofspeculation and idlencss, which,
q few, years ago were by far too common
among us. The present habits of our cul-
tiyators will soon enable those of them that
are out Of debt to beautify their farms, and
add to their permanent comfort by the erec-
tion ofgood dwelling houses. Barns, large
and well built are already seen on great
portion Of fthe farms that have been opened
few years. II is delightful to the bene-
VIOLENT heart to see those who make beauti-
ful fields out Of the gloomy forest grow up
to comfort, Independence and wealth. Such
adestiny isin prospect for every industrious
farmer Of Lucas and The neighboring coun-
Ties.
With the exception of the river border,
no new rich country is more healthy, and
its proximity to nayigaole water will always
secure It d market among the best in the
western world.
Go ahead then ye cultiyators Of the soil,
