EAST FORK CANAL.

This work, which Is Of lhe utmost Importance to
the citizens of this city and surrounding country.
- eprrossing the attention OF the public. The
occuu,arv ADVERTISEMENTS of the Stockholders,
and the failure on behalf Of the state to take one
half q the stock has set the friends of the work
to looking round to see what means can be deVis-
ed to prosecute it; ard the enemies of the work
to py lag the crcdulous with false arguments for
suspension. Another portion. true friends to the
canal aud liberal stockholders fearful Of uit-
u,ato success, and consequently favor suspen-
sion until Other and more extensive means can
be obtained. Amid this diversity of opinion, 1t IS
somewhat difficult for the directors TO prosecute
the work. In fact unless they can have the almost
unanimous support of the stockholders, It is use
less to attempt a prosecution OF tho Canal. We
are aware that some objections have been made
to the n1nner in which the ID Directors have con-
duclcG the work. They have been charged with
:xtravagance, and of reckless regard to the inter
est of the work, and of the stockholders. While
admit that some expenses have been incurred
which could have been dispensed with, we are by
no means certain that those who complain most
bit,craily of such expenditures would have done
better- In the commencement Of all undertakings
Of the magnitude of our canal, many heavy ex-
pcnscs are necessarily incurred which do not &C
eur afterwards. We will instance one item which
occurs to us-that Of prnting-blank contracts,
specifications, receipts, &c. were printed TO nn-
for the whole work, which appeared n
considerable amount IN the coinmcrcement---A-

thought best to incur this expense, rather

THE NEW ADMINISTRATION.


Many the specula,ions INDUCED in by our
friends OF the editorial corps, respecting appoint
ments to the prominent Offices of the government.
In the recomme nda ton Of indis iduas for the Ca
bine,, there appears to be a far less variety Of
opinions than we anticipated. We feared that
the Unsuitable thirst for Office manifested by the
leaders of the Van Buren, party would have prove
contag ious, and have found more subjects in the
Wing ranks. We have been agreeaby disap-
pointed, and are pleased with the unanimity that
gives the most responsible stations 10 those so
eminenty qualified to fill them. The assignment
Of Mr.. Webster TO the place of Secretary of
State,--of Mr.. Crittenden TO that of Attorney
General-Nr. Bell 10 that Of Secretary of War
MIR. Ewing, the cold salt boiler TO that of the
Post Office department, meets tho almost univer-
sal appreciation Of citizens. To the less i'm
portant offices, there is, of course, a greater va
liety of opinions. in several papers of this state
we have noticed the recommendation of GEN.
JONATHAN M'CARTy, to the favorable considara-
ton of the Executive. Any expression that we
may make, is no; expected to have any influence,
yet were pleased to that lusi appreca-
ton has been placed upon the services and abili
ties of Gen. M'Carty, by our friends of the press
We hoPo that their recommendations may be fall
filed and that an honorable place may be assign
ed Gen. M'Cartv. Such he may by in
dustry and fidelity to the interests Of the country,
be enabled TO render that service for which his
talents eminentIy qualify him. The intimate
personal acquaintance Gen. Harrison has had for
many years, with Mr.. M'Carty, will designate
that place.
Another recommendation, have noticed in
the Fort Wayne Times, meets most cordial
appreciation. That of Elk Governor Wallace to
the place occupied by Mr. Whtcomh-Com-
missioner Of the General Land Office. The abil-
ity and firmness with which he discharg ed the
duties of the Executive office Of this State, and
the high confidence the people Of inGiana have
in his integrity, and devotion to the interests of
the people, and the success Of our country IN her
march to the highest goal Of national greatness,
induces us to believe that his appointment would
be acceptable the people Of the Union; and 10
The people of Indiana particularly. HIS intimate
acquaintance with the large grant of land which
has recently been confirmed to this State, for the
construction of the Wabash and Erie Canal would
be Of great advantage TO the citizens Of this
State, were he placed IN The Land Office. Gov
Wallace has also, been spoken OF candidate
for Congress.
