From The Georgeto.on (D, .C.) Advocate.

A foretaste Of what is to be enjoyed by on the
completion of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal to the
coal region at Cumberland, has been administered this
week by the arrival hither of fleet of boats, laden
with the black diamonds of the Allegheny Fifteen
boats freighted with 1900 bushels Of COAL are
already arrived, and there many more TO follow
This coal we understand have been contracted for
by the Government, and presume for the service OF
the United States steamers the Missouri and
Mississippi which vessels under orders for Wash
ington.
These coal boats, these sable argosies, forcrunners
of what must indspuably be Of the most prosper
trades in the world cannot but be ha led with r
umphant qualification by al classes of our citizens,
and should excite them to steady deermin alton to
do whatever may present itself in the way Of forward
ing the desderaied completion of the canal.
We ought perhaps to state that we indebted for
this arrival TO the high water in the Potomac between
Cumberland and the head Of the Canal, whereby the
rapids of he river compaia tively obicrated

g How vain the effort to smother or compromise,
or settle the slavery question Stop it in one place,
and it breaks out in another The Creole issue aban-
doned by the coalition Cabinet that dared to raise it
-straghtway the fire unquenchabe bursts forth at
a new opening and new openings--new issueS-wll
be found, until the free laborers, the white Mig
gers" of the North, ARM to meet the main point like
men,"
We find the above in letter OF the Wash
ington Correspondent of the New York Alner-
can, published in that paper on the 3Oth Of
March. The underscoring of one word is our
own: it contains nothing less than direct pro-
posal Of civil war in the United States, for the
suppression Of slavery in the Southern States.
And yet the writer of this letter has a seat as
signed him in tho House Of Representatives as
gentleman connected with the press The
editor of the American, who prints and com
mends such writings, yet calls himself, we
doubt not, friend Of the Union, disciple OF
Washington, an abhorer Of all the doctrines Of
notification, and Of whatever else threatens to
break up this Government, the great work of
our fathers. Passion, passion run into absolute
insanity. or else purposes Of the deepest and
blacklist profigacy, can alone account for the
shameless uterance of such abominable sentl-
ments.

If Mr. Lane is satisfied as to this, we are
content. How much more he may approve of
the conduct of Mr.. Weaver, in connexion with
this matter, he will find of the same equality as
that Of his resigning, we don't know; probably
all Of it is of apiece-and as Mr.. Lane approves
this sample, he will likely enough commend the
whole.
We do not mean, however, to commit our
selves on this point just yet. Mr.. Lane closes
his remarks on this matter by giving us prob
lem for solution, viz; eff this supposed case
is founded in truth, what confidence can we
have in Mr.. Webster's recommendation 2" We
will initiate Mr. Lane in closing in the same
way

honest, ohat confidence can noe hare in Mr.

disrepute abroad, curing TO the toicked political
heresy Of repudiation and other causes, without
suffering dishonor to come to the very doors Of
the National Treasury Could it not satisfy the
i'll feelings of the opponents Of ''Captain Tyler"
as the President of the United States has been
tacetiously called, to see him contending against
sea of troubles, produced by other agencies
than his own, without making the honor of the
nation the victim of their pitiiul spleen, in or
der that he might be made TO appear unworthy
of the dignity with which the hand of Provi-
dence had invested him. 1t is enough to make
every honest American heart sick to see such
things tolerated in such place, and we are at
a loss to find terms adequate to the expression
of our satisfaction at seeing that an end is about
to be put to a condition of affairs at which every
freeman must blush. In concluding this article,
we would express hope that the speedy pas
sage of the Loan bill by the Senate will go TO
confirm the representations suggested by its
adoption in the House of Representatives. Nor
do we stop here. We must be permitted to in
dulge the expectation that the great questions of
national revenue and defence, Of which there
has been such portentous note of preparation,
will be matured and adopted in such form as
shall reinstate the country permanently on its
former elevated position with reference to ere
dit and safety.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

The patriotic tone Of this important document APP
pears to have commanded the respect even of those
who are opposed to the Executive in politics. 1t IS
Independent, manly, and honest, He alludcs to the
embarrassed condition of the country, and the crti-
cal state OF our foreign relations He speaks OF the
abundant resources of the country and the energy Of
our population, with confidence and hope. He re-
commends an increase Of duties, and repeal of the
Distribution act and after giving his reasons for the
course he recommends, thus concludes his message
My own views Of the measure calculated to effect
this great and desirable object, have thus frankly
expressed to Congress, under circumstances which
give to Congress peculiar andlsolemn interest The
Executive can do no more If the credit of the country
be exposed to questionif the whole public defences
be broken down or weakened--if the whole admins
tratlon OF public affairs be embarrassed, for the want
OF the necessary means for conducting them with Wig
or and eject trust that this department Of the Co
vernmen Will be found to have done all that was in It's
power to avert such evils and will be acquitted OF
all Just blame on account Of them

Mr.. Lane, however, supposes some things
which he need not have done to be sure we
have initiated him, for they are admitted facts
and others, which he had best not have done
for they come under different category.
The evidence before the committee Of the
House shows the manner IN which, and the
consideration for which, Mr.. Lanes friend, Mr.
Weaver, was TO give Messrs. Blair & Rives the
printing of the Compendium Of the Census,
and the manner in which, and the reasons for
which they did not succ ed in getting it.
There was no need of suppositon for this part
of the business
Again Mr.. Weaver ipds summoned to les
tity before the Committee, and like enough Mr..
Webster did caution him to tell the truth, and
nothing but the truth. These may be facts II
the caution were given, it was a friendly one,
and such one as ought always TO be taken in
good part, and remembered, aud we hope Mr..
Weaver bore it in mind Mr. Lane, however,
may put this among his other suggestions.
Again Mr.. Lane supposes that his friend
Mr.. Weaver, was a clerk in the Department
and that, on receiving this caution, he resigned
''like an honest man" 1t is true, Mr.. Weaver
was clerk, and did resign, how closely, in imi
tation of an honest man, not being there to see
we can't say, to the life though pe suppose
and this, too, Mr. Lane may put among his sup
| positions

CoRRECTioNs.--ln the article in yesterdays paper
headed Suspension not Repeal, several typograph-

will be at once detected. The following, however,
are deemed sufficiently important to be corrected
Instead of the expression, "ceasng thereby its own
operations upon the occurrence of the contemplated
contingency, repeal is wholly unnecessary
read thus "ceasing then by its operation, upon
the occurrence of the contemplated contingency, a
repeal is wholly unnecessary"
In the sentence, ANY adjustment of the tariff
founded upon deficiency created by the division of
the proceeds Of the public lands would be regarded
as unjust and oppressive" &c.-the word division
should have been dpersion
In the sentence Immediately preceding, the word
believed is printed for perceived.
