Of Washington was no friend to the Whiggery OF

undermine ard overthrow HENRY CLAY less the
enemy OF Whiggery as pure as thatwhich kindled

directness and comprehensivencss OF intellect, and
frank, high and honest purpose among his dis
tnguishing characteristics. His system of policy
is broad as this confederacy, comprehensive its
great and varied interests, and based upon eternal
principles and truth. He is ambitious, but he has
ever held that towering and Turbulent passion Sc
verely subject to the behcsts Of honor, 10 the
purest patriotism, to the most ardent attachment

CANTON AND VENlcE.-Captan Basil Hall has
noticed remarkable resemblance in many re-
spects between The cities of Canton and Venice
Thorc is all exact similirlde between of the
canal bridges of the latter city and one in Canton.
The streets in both places are paved. ne says, IN
the same Style they are Of the same width; have
the same degree OF light; the shops are just Of the
same dimensions and forms; the houses are equal
in height The only difference seems to be in the
signs. In China each shop has large, finely
iapanned board, SIX feet long, with gilt letters,
hanging, not horizontally, like in Europe, but
perpendcular!y, and left loose to fap about with
the wind on one side Of the door. Neither IN
Venice nor in Canton are there any wheeled car
rages or horses; the same method of carrying
loads at the end of poles the shoulders being
practiced at both places, circumstance that tends
greatly to hcighten the unexpected resemblance
between two places so remote from each other, and
SO differently circumstanced.
WESTERN NAvlGATIoS.-Very strong exertions
are making at present to obtain from Congress
special appropriations for the removal Of the
dangers that exist in the navigation of the western
rivers. The extent of navigation on these rivers
is stated in a memorial OF the citizens OF Clnc!n-
natl addressed TO Congress to be $4,000 miles.
These streams flow through $4,000 square miles
of territory. The number of steamboats, at present
employed is 430. Their aggregate tonnage Is w. oUU
tons, and their value 100000. The number OF
persons engaged IN navigating them 10 estimated
1T 1880. The annual cost OF transportation, IN
Guiding latto2ts, is sl3, Gl9, 00O The tonnage OF
the steamboats, and fatboats Is estimated at two
millions OF tons this is equal the external ton
mage Of the United States. The value of property
Annually floating these river. u estimated at TWO
hundred and twenty millions ih. interior com
merce is thus equal to eur commerce with fore'eR
nations The distractions in these rivers consist
of rocks, bars, and sunken logs srsgs. here
are a few POINTS on the Ohio river whece rapids
are created by edges of rock; and there are po'ns
where the navigation Is not safe for mech water
as is contained in the channel in consequence OF
the existence of the projecting rocks.
