Henry CLM.-We have noticed heretofore
the proposition Of Greeley Y McElrath to pub
lish full and Illustrated edition of the Life and
Speeches of HENRY CLAY.
Many persons are disposed to regard Mr.. CLAWS
merits in party aspect. This is wrong. We
doubt much if We have had, since the Revolution,
anv man in public life who has identified himself
more with the great leading interests of the coun-
try Two qualities mark him: First his COM
mon sense views and, second, his clear-headed
and far-reaching knowledge There is nothing
narrow, nothing partisan, in his thoughts or his
life He breathes forth, in all that he has SAID or
done, an honest American spirit, and, IN the
main, has defended that policy which promises
most to give vigor to American virtue, and worth
to the American character.
Whatever may be his position hereafter, the
past for him is secure. He has done well. Nor
can those who love their country, well regu-
lated liberty, do better, if they wish to deepen the
one or atix the other in the American mind-to
graft there feelings and principles which will take
root and bear solid fruit-than by circulating
CLAY's Speeches, and imbuing all men Of all
parties thoroughly with the spirit which has AMI
mated him. Cincinnati Gazette.

W The Loco-Foc journals in Ohio are attr-
buting the advance in the price of Wheat to the
destruction of most Of the Banks of that State .
This is just equal to ascribing flood on the
Upper Mississippi to severe drouth in Louis
ana. The rise of Grain and Agricultural pro-
ducts generally was inevitable from the moment
the New Tariff passed the rigorous contraction
of our currency has plainly retarded that result,
and TO some extent prevented it. a policy which
encourages and extends our Mechanical and Ma
nutacturins interests is plainly Protective and
beneficial to the Farming interest.

GT We rejoice to hear that the forwarders Of
Immigrants from this city westward have held a
meeting, and, with but three exceptions firmly
agreed and pledged themselves to employ no run
ners hereafter to board passage ships from Europe
andmake bargains with passengers. This is great
step toward the removal of the cruel imposltions
to which immigrants have long been subjected
They have been compelled to pay exorbitant prl-
ces, two.thirds of which has often gone into the
pockets of the runners they have often paid to
Cleveland or Detroit, and learned at Buffalo that
their receipts were worthless; and they have paid
their passages and been charged for baggage at
the end of the route sum wckedly exorbitant
We'll, the law is open othem,' says the Cbroni-
Gle. Yes, the law against an irresponsible loafer
in New Y ork is lovely thing for an immigrant
in Michigan or Iowa, who cannot even read the
law, and has no money TO bring him back here,
even if it would not cost him hundred dollars,
at any rate, to recover the twenty he has been
robbed Of The law is an excellent thing, doubt
less, but it does not protect immigrants from being
plundercd in at least dozen instances per day.
We do trust that there is philanthropy enough
in this city to organize an efficient Society for
the Protection of Immigrants from imposition and
for the punishment of their plunderers.

SCHOOL BooKs-Too much Importance cannol
be attached to the use of proper textbooks ~
schools Many that are presented to the puoIc
for consideration incucate error instead OF uuth'
and are more injurious than beneficial.
The committee OF the public schools IN TINS
place. have adopted CoBB's new school books as
the standard textbooks for these schools. MS
selection is wise and iudlclous, and II the design
OF the compiler is carried out By the teachers and
parents. the too common fault OF false orthogTa-
phv will be corrected Mr.. Cobb, in the last edl-
ton of his works, has gone step farther than
any OF his contemporaries. Several have selected
the words of the reading Lessons, and arranged
them in spelling lessons preceding the reading
lessons. and a few IN the higher numbers OF their
series have added definitions but MI Cooo, ID
his series. even in No. !, has placed all the words
Of the first reading lesson and al the new words
in each subsequent reading lesson throughout the
book before It, with the division, pronunciation,
accentuaton and definition noted, and the part OF
speech designated. The pupils will thus nave an
opportunity OF becoming acquainted with their
orthographv and pronunciation, ne can 90 over
these as kind of review while learning the deil-
nitons Much Of the difficulty that occurs with
persons in the after prosecution OF their studies Is
the result of having been advanced IN reading
faster than their progress IN orthograPhy VIII
Justify Mr.. Cobb proposes to avoid this by ma
king the definition OF the words Of the lesson
study preceding that lesson. SO that the child may
have proper meaning or sense of the lesson he
reads and this plan has this advantage-that
the definitions can be more successfully taught
and better understood by the pupil when given IN
connection with the reading lesson properly and
appropriately used, than in the abstract or dscon-
nectcd columns of a Dictionary or Exposltor.
1t is very desirable that the teachers in charge
of the different departments of the public schools
in this place will be very dgent IN carrying out
the design of Mr.. Cobb, and the corrective OF
false spelling be applied, and our children taug ht
in proper manner-not like parrots, to read by
note things they are incapable Of understanding,
and of course of reading properly.

after through whole extent, from the Danube To the
Mayn. Ny Express
Though the completion OF this great work has
been reserved for modern times, its conception
and commencement belong to an age and gener-
alton ten centuries distant. In 793 the Emperor
Charemagne formed the purpose of establishing
water communication from one extremity OF
Europe to the other, by means of canal which
should unite the waters of the Rhine with those
of the Danube With this object an army OF
workmen was assembled, the Emperor himself
experimenting and directing Their labors, and for
several months the undertaking was most indus

among the ahorers, and distant wars demanding
Charlemagne's attention, the enterprise was a5an-

Correspondence OF the 81, Louis Republican,


By express, we received advlccs last week from
the Mexican Governor and his troops. They
were coming in as far as the Arkansas rlver to
escort small company Of traders bound hlther-
wards, and to accompany those on their return
from this place to Santa F6. The Governor has
with him about 500 soldiers, and of course
goodlv number OF supenumerares-h intends.
that if our soldiers desire to cross the lnc and
proceed farther on their route to Santa Re, he
will by no means object. short time since, the
Oregon Company left our ncighborhood; they
have with them a large amount OF stock, about
200 wagons of all sizes and descriptions, and in
all probability 500 or 1000 souls. They seem to
be in high spirits, and 90 out with joyous expec
tations. Tie aged and young-the hardy, virtn-
Gus pioneer-the tmd and the wealthy, have
each braced themselves up for the trip in antlci-
patton of the glorious harvest that awaits them at
their new home in the West.
The exploring expedition, Captain stewart's
company, and one or two companies for the pur-
pose of catching Buffalo calves have all left our
county within a week or two past. No other

LoUIsIANA.-The Election next to be held is
that for Members of Congress in Louisiana,
the first Monday in July. The Districts com.
mence at the Gulf of Mexico, and run up the
Mississippi. The candidates are as follows
D'sI t.. George eFi *. Rogers, John slidcn
II......Edward D. White, Alcee Labranche
ILL.,. James B. Elan, .John B. Dawson,
W. .John Moore, Gen. P. E. Bosscr.
-Mcnbors of tho last Congrseo.
No. l. embraces the First Municipality Of New
Orleans and the Parishes below No. IT, the
balance of New Orleans, and the adjacent Parishes
of Lafourche Interieur, Ascension, Assumption,
St. Charles, st. John, st. James and Tcrrebonnc;
No. Ill is pretty much the old Second District,
and No. ". the old Third.
We feel pretty confident of the reelection OF
Messrs. White and Moore. In the Hid District,
the chances are in favor of Gen. Dawson, who is
the TYLER Postmaster of New Orleans, in another
District. The LIST District is doubtful.
There would be no doubt at all of the result II
I4oco.Foco principles were not the verlcs,
cameleon in the world. The Sugar Culture is
the life-blood of Louisiana, and the Culture can
only be successfully prosecuted under Protective
duty. NOW Loco-r ocoiSiil' even III Louislaia'
has declared itself hostile to all Protection. and
Gen. Dawson voted against the New Tariff. But,
in the teeth of this, the Loco. Foco press and can
didates declare that they are the true friends of the
Sugar interest-that Mr.. Calhoun does not pro-
perly belong to their party-that the present i'm
post on Sugar fully Go per cent? is not Protec-
tive but a Rerenue duty--that they are death
against any reduction of it-that their candidates
are interested in Sugar estates, &c. &c. Ifthey
make the Planters believe all this, and that
the Sugar interest will best be subscrvcd by warring
upon all other intcrests-that Pennsylvania for
instance, will consent to reduce the 40 per cent
duty in Iron as Protective, yet vote to retain tn,
to per cent. on Sugar as strictly Rcvenue-they
may carry the State.
