damages from contractors whose operations were
abruptly suspended; and as calculated 10 drive
through the Welland Canal, the St. Lawrence
ard over the Western Railroad, Trade which, BY
the early completion of these Works, would be
attracted TO or retained by otr own channels and
Cities.
But they wefe further opposed to The Tax and
Stop policy on other grounds, viz:
Because, while Il imposed heavy burthen Or
the Industry of our People, it greatly diminished
their means of sustaining thy throwing thousands
cf Laborers out st work on the Canals and Rail
roads, deprfving the Farmers and other Producers
OF ready and large Market for their Products
and diminished seriously the price of all that they
could still dispose of.-We have not doubt that
the Farmers of this State will lose $1,000 900 in
the price of their Produce in this year alone by
the stoppage of the State Works.
! The friends Of Internal improvement could not
fail to see that great object of the Tax was TO
make Internal Improvement unpopular. II the
People could be made to feel that the unfinished
Works are load upon them, while they are in no
degree benefit, the Flags, Youngs, and Hof-
mans may hope to impant such hostility to these
enterprises as to render their stoppage perpetual
Whether the Public Works shall be resumed or
given Up to destruction, we shall always be ready
TO meet and to sustain any Taxation which may be
necessary to pay the Debts Of the State, principal
or interest. But we shall not the less protest
against their stoppage and against Taxation for
the sake of rendering them odous Complete
them promptly. and they will pay every cent of
their cost and ask no odds of taxation; while they
will add Immensely to the Wealth, Activity and
Prosperity Of every part of the State, especially OF
the Southwest, the Centre and the Emporium
Let $4,000, 900 per annum be expended in com.
pleing those works and the State will not really
be Sl,000,000 the poorer thereby; for by the in
creased employment and reward of Labor, the
ready and coed Market for Produce, &c. &C..
nearly the whole outlay will return TO the pockets
of the People. Then they can pay Taxes, should
any be necessary; but we are confident they would
not be necessary, at any rate for than two or
three years. LET THE WORKS BE COMPLETED
and they will be helping the People in every part
of the State, while their Revenues will be annually
increasing, until they will soon overbalance the
|
cipal. This is the true way to avoid Reputation
to pay off the Debt and at the same time secure
the largest benefit and highest burthen to the PEG
pie. How, then, can any Wing, and especially a
| New Yorker, prefer the Loco-Foco Stop-and- Tax
policy!
NEw-JERsgY.-The Message of Gov. PENNING-
TON is a brief manly and admirable document.
| 1t speaks in the opening OF the comparatively
prosperous condition of the Banks-of the settle
ment Of the Railroad difficulties, and of the sue
cessful passage of the act to abolish Imprisonment
for Debt The benefits of the Tariff now in force
are briefly So, FORTH and the necessity of strenuous
exertions to PREVENT lis REPEkL is strongly
urged. The first nstalment of the proceeds of the.
Public Lands became due to the State before the
repeal of the act, and the Governor urges its col
lection. No special election for Members of Con-
gress is thought necessary. The subject of build
ing Lunatic Asylum is presented. The state OF
the Treasury of the Common Schools, ofthe State
Prison, and the death of Senator SoUTHARD, are
noticed. and the Message conclusion praises the
firm and dignifed stand take ard maintained by
the authorities Of Rhode Island against the attempts
Of Dorr and his adherents.

American speaks encouragingly of the Wing pros
p,cts in the old Bay State The Tariff IS the
nreai question at sssne between the ttco parties,
all over the country, and wherever its principles
a,e 40 clearly understood as in massachusetts we
huve no fears for the result. Party ties cannon
long force men to oppose, to the death, what they
knou to be the true interests Of the country. The
American says
eve are not surprised to hear, almost every
dav, of conversions from Loco Focoism TO the
true political faith. AS instance of the change
which calm, full, and candid reflection will work
in the minds of the honest in the ranks of the Lo
CO.'S we would mention fact, among Others
viz that within few months past three indus
trious mechanics in Cambridge-brothers too
who voted the Loco-F oco ticket so recently as last
spring. and exerted their utmost to prevent the
election of Harrison, have NOW ABANDONED LO-
co-FocolsM FOREVER, and one of them has been
} chosen an officer of the Wing Republican Asso-
} citation in the town named. The OPPOSITION OF
J THE Loco oco MEMBERS OF CONGRESS- TO Ia,
gIrE, is THE MAIN CAUSE OF THIS CHANGE OF
ePISIss; and siace Mr.. Clays nomination IN Fan.
eu Hall, they have taken hold of the cause, with
which he is identified, with zeal worthy of all
praise. Bear this in mind, mechanics -
