to remove it by Sir Benjamin Brodle, was fl

to remove it by the forceps by means of an O.

by placing the body ofthe patient in an inver-

futile was placed on an apparatus, prepared
for the purpose; his body inverted. and the back
gently struck.-After two or three coughs, he
felt the coin quit its place, and in few seconds,
it dropped from his mouth.

pend we cannot but refer to the serious warning to
parents contained in the late frightful affair on
church, and of all patriotic citizens so largely de-
board one of our national vessels, with which the
whole land is even now agitated. youth scarce
ly yet arrived at manhood has fallen victim to his
own corrupt passions, under circumstances of unu-
sual notariety and disgrace. OF the highest con-
nections IN the land, with ample education and the
iarest prospects, he might have blessed his family,

But he utterly wanting in those moral senti-

beneath the parental roof, around the freside of
home, by fathers precepts, and by mothers
prayers. His melancholy fate will, we hope, sound
loud warning in the of all parents, that they
neglect not tie religious training of their children

HARBOR BILL.

1t is no doubt already known to all Of
our readers, that the bill containing an APP
preparation for a harbor at this place has
been defeated. The cause which produced
this result. is the same which defeated the
passage of the harbor bill for this Terrific
ry last year. 1t is well known that our
harbor bill passed the House of Represent
tatlves this year by triumphant majority,
and doubt but that the bill would
have passed the Senate by large majority
had not the most unfair means been resor-
ted to by prominent member Of the Com
mittee on Commerce in tina, body. That
member is Senator WOODBRIDGE Of Mich
igan, who obtained so much notoriety last
year IN consequence Of his dupicity, dou-
BILE dealing, and dishonesty, in relation to
our harbor interests. A man possessing
talents of an ordinary character. vet bav-
ing considerable tact in political knavcry:
uniting in no small degree Of what is vuI-
carly called bldreny, he has been enabled
to throw lmpedIments in the way of our
harbor bill, and defeat its passage. The
Committee on Commerce in the Senate
being the legitimate channel through which
our harbor bill should be reported in that
body, after lis passage through tie House.
Mr.. Woodbridge was placed in a position
where he could exercise his forte at Chi

our harbor bill reported by that committee
IN the shape it came from the House, yet
he could not prevail with men, who were
bent upon the accomplishment Of Interior
objects. Before the Senate, our Delegate
of course, could not be heard; could he have
been privileged to appear in person before
that body the same as before the House Of
Representatives, but little doubt can be en-
tertaned, but that he would have success

Fifth Auditors Office, Feb. "a, 1S43.
SIR: | had the honor this morning to re-
ceive your letter Of the 23rd inst. in rela-
ton to proposed Light House at South
port in Wisconsin.
By the 3rd section Of The act Of July,
1888, relative to Light Houses, &c, The
President was authorized TO divide the
Lake and Atlantic coasts into such districts
as he might deem expedient, and 10 APP
point Naval Office, or officers, to survey
and examine each district, and also to in
spect all ,te Light Houses, Light boats,
&c. and TO report upon the several uhjects
committed to them.
He accordingly divided the Atlantic into
six districts, and the Northern Lakes into
two districts. For the district in which
Southport is situated, Lieut.. james W.
Thomas, o.! the Navy, was appointed; and
among other objects he was directed by
the 4th section of tn: act to examine
Southport: the following pa ragraph occurs
in his report: i" Southport had its harbor
entirely closed al the period Of my visit to
it and had e"en so for some time

this subject. The earirc report Of Lieut..
Thomas as we'll as those Of alI the other
officers appointed under the act, viii be
found in House Documen: No. "a Of the
Ord session of the 25ih congress.
| have the honor to be very respectfully,
Your obt servant,

the bill through that branch of the Nation
al Legislature.
When the bill was returned to the House
as amended by the Senate, our Delegate
was declared the privilege Of saying any
thing in vindication of our rights, or re-
monstrating against the injustice done us,
by the moving Of the previous question by
Howard, Of Michigan. This concerted
course of action between Michigan men,
Der Of the Senate, and member of the
House, procured the de!ea: Of Southport
and Racine.
The treatment Of cur Territory, ct the
hands of Congress, suggests considerations
which we have expressed through the col
umns Of this paper Oh formar occasions.
The simple objection of pccuniarv expedi-
ency, which is gene rally urged against
our assuming the rank and importance to
which we are entitled among the States of
the Union, appears to US to be extremely
trhing. compared with I exercise Of
our rights and privileges as a component
part Of the Unitel States. Had we two
United States Senators, our relative in
teIests would not be treated thus lightly
our i'st claims could not be ihrus, aside SO
ungenerorsIy by willy poll, clans, were we
represented in that branch Of the National
AS it now is we are declared
a hearing, and shut out from the exercise
Of power on the floor Of the Senate. In
the House Of Representatives we are al
lowed hearing by occasional sufferance,
but not privileged with a solitary vote
New rhelcss the majority Of the people Of
the Territory appear to be willing TO fore
60 the prerogativcs and immunities. which
justly belong TO freemen, for n small imag-
mary stipend. We are aware that sugges-
tons leaning towards our becoming state
sovereignty, strike the ear Of most Of our
readers unFasorab'y. vet VIC cannot for
that reason consent to Corbcar the express
sion Of an opinion.

W he inquiry may perhaps be made,
what ln1noncc will the defeat Of our hag
Dor appropriation bill have upon our future
interests and prospects? That it will in any
respect rctard the growth or prosperity of

any show Of plausible reasoning South

population and improvement. without a
harb0r appropriation or any other aid on
the part Of the General Government what.
ever. Thus farthere has not to our knowl-
edge been single enterprise entered into,
or Improvement commenced NJ this place
based on the immediate prospect Of an ap-
preparation from Congress. Therefore no
branch Of business or trade cow common
ced or in operation, is al all frustrated or
subjected to disappointment in consequence
of the failure Of our harbor bin at the past
session. No man has engaged in any pur-
suit here, relying for its Ultimate succrSs
upon an appropriation: therefore. no mans
business arrangements are embarrassed n
this respect Had our rapid course Of I'M
provcment during the last two or three
years, proceeded on the strength of an ex-
pected harbor appropriation, then the dis
apPontmen Mt we have met with at the hands
oil the past congress, might in measure
paralyze our onward progress. But hap
NJ IIoh 10 not ho
sources and advantages are the same as
they ever were: rich and rapidly settling
country about US, is continually increasing
Its demands upon US, and urging us on TO
enlarged and more extended means for
transacsng business. We possess va
tural outlet to the lake for tho productions
Of large tract of country; unsurpassed in
the fertility of its SOIL and The industry Of
its populaton-the productions Of this tract
OF country, will in few years be increased
ten fold greater than they now are; and
with this increase Of the country, will the
demand for business means and facilities
Of our town in like proportion be increased,
The growth Of our town is identified with
the growth Of the country; and not until
some unforeseen misfortune shall cripple
the onward advance Of the country, will
our future progress be retarded.
No valid reason the refore can bs as
signed why any one has cause to be dis
heartened, or why our progress in i'm
provemcnt, may not be expected in future
as heretofore. We have advantages now
for shipping produce and receiving freights,
unsurpassed by any other town on the lakes
where good harbor has not been con-
structed. These advantages will be great

ton, and the wants Of those interested in
the commerce Of the lakes accommodated.
