From The Pennsyirdnion
SALE OF THE PUBLIC WORKS.

We recently expressed doubt of the policy of
selling any portion of the public works at the present
moment in consequence of the general depression OF
confidence
plan, however, has since been suggested, which
might safely be tried, and if it does not succeed, no
harm AN be done 1t is to offer the Delaware Canal
and Columbia Railroad for sale at cost to companies
to be organized for the purpose, payment to be re-
ceved in the State stocks al par The depression of
the stocks might induce the holders to part with them
on these terms and the State would be no loser, as
she must pay the stocks in full if not settled IN some
such way.
In case of a sale of this kind, il would be well to
to the State the power of reducing the tolls,
upon condition that she would repurchase the works
it. the proprietors should not fit to conform TO the
reduction. Such reserved power would prevent any
extortonae tolls in the works should hereafter
become very profitable
If sale OF these works should not take place, we
trust that they will be leased without fail. lhc
conviction is almost universal in the public mind mat
the managing of the works by the state IS both UNI
profitable aud OF a corruptng tendency
If the Legislature do not provide for the leasing oil
the works in case they be not sold they VIII, as we
think disregard the manifest interests and wishes OF
their constituents This, trust, they have no dis
position TO do

name IL wants no such title. He comes for
ward anxious for the prosperity of the whole
people, and depending, for the support of the
measures he may recommend, on the people (;
and his party, therefore, is the party of the
people.
We perceive with qualification that the people
begin 10 give unquestionabe indications that
they will not continue an adhesion to doctrines
merely because they have been for a time the
watchwords of party distinctions, and that they
perceive the absolute necessity, if some few
leaders are obstinate in their blindness, Of some
compromise of opinion. They will return to
first principles, and let the same spirit which eff
iected the Union of the States operate to bring
together sufficient force TO accomplish the ter
mination of the feuds which distract the nation
and war against its true interests. That some
thing must be done, and done Immediately, they
cannot but iceland that nothing can be done
for the country unless some reform takes place
in the councils of the nation, they cannot but
be equally sensible When conflicting opinions
are maintained by powers so nearly balanced,
and neither will yield, either to the judgment of
its opponents or be willing TO meet on a middle
ground, the consequence plainly must be, that
no measures of relief will be adopted, and that
in the mean time the sulierings of the country
must be protracted AS each faction of party
leaders seems determined to yield nothing of its
own theories, the People perceive that to submit
to such guidance is only rulnous to themselves,
and they will submit no longer. They will es-
abish--if party there must be-a party which IS
disposed to adopt measures suitable for the
juncture; such measures as tend TO procure i'm
mediate relief for the evils now pressing on them.
Preceding administrations have proposed mea-
sures and borne the responsibility of their pro-
posal, and they received the support or incurred
the condemnation of the people, on the strength
OF those measures To effect any object there
must be concurrence of opinion and action be-
tween the coordinate branches of the Legisla-
ture. If the recommendations and course OF
the President meet the appreciation of the peo-
pie, they will support him-they will elect such
men to Congress as will support hm-and if he
continues to manifest as he has hitherto done,
determination TO uphold the sanctity Of the
Constitution and to study sincerely the true inter-
ests of the people, he will very soon be at the
HEAD OF THE MOST POWERFUL PARTY.

"IN GOD is OUR TRUST

God rules the world If we trust not in his
lulions IN politics and morals, as well as in the
seasons, are the work of His hands. We must
first deserve His favor and then trust in Him
implicitly. else His wrath will overtake u.s. Ii
we confde solely in the intellect Of teachers for
our standard of morals, the bravery and skill Of
our commanders for victory, and the patriotism
and virtue of cur civil rulers for peace and pros
perity, we will surely be degraded, defeated, and
oppressed
The People do not generally understand the
operations of Divine Providence, which shape
our destiny for veal or woe. This is attribute
BILE to their want of faith. The failhless Israel
ties would not believe that their Golden Calf
was less potent Than the true God, who was not
as palpably set before them. But, those who
are the most ncreduous ard profane, are them
selves the instruments selected TO work out then
own destruction. When men place their de
pendence exclusively in the might and wisdom
of man, are governed in their actions by the die
tates of passion, and indulge in the qualification
of ambitious, revengeful and venal desires, they
are OlleH ny al ONtIIulinS IIOVlueHCe
to succeed in their projects; and hence they at
tribute their success to their own ability and ex-
ertions. But, that success is often their ruin
God permits, nay compels them to succeed, that
they may be the more eflectually rebuked and
COMPOUNDED in the end. 1t was so with the an
Gent Republics, with Napoleon, and it arW be
so with England. May America profit by such
examples Our Government began with an
expressed reliance on Divine Providence by its
lustrious Washington for protection and, il
this reliance continues, we believe it will exist
happily to the end Of time. Every nation that
has hitherto hourished to any extent, has had
its season of decay and the cause of such de-
generacy was the vicious prostitution of public
virtue and moral rebellion against the laws Of
the Almighty.
An ambitious man may seek popularity arc
obtain it. He may win the admiration of the
people, and arouse their enthusiasm TO such al
extent as to have unlimited power conferred or
him. Thus he succeeds against his, rivals
thus his followers succeed against the opposition
party, Qor there will always be opposing par
ties,) and they are apparently triumphant. Blu
of what value is the success of the peopl,
if they are not obedient to the will of Di
vine Providence their earthly god becomes ;
