II. GREELEY, Esq.:-The weather here for
two or three days back has been quite 'eiater'sh;
but last night the Locos held their grand ttoo
,eeeks' drill meeting to form Democratic q
Association. One result has been, We have had,
all the morning, rcarma rain; and with 1t all the
snow and ice have disappeared. This afternoon
the Lake looks free for navigation. As yet no
ice has been cut for summer use, and | begin to
fear we shall get none. If no more forms in the
Lake than has thus far this winter, the fish will
take sweat next summer, beyond doubt.
At the meeting last night, Hon. ALBERT II.
Tracy presided {" Ephraim is joined to his idols
let him alone.") and was chosen President of
the Association. While our opponents are STIR
ring let me assure you the Wings are not asleep
in Old Erie. The ides of November will show
to their brethren of the Union that the enthusl-
asm enkindled for Harrison in lS40 has not been
suffered to die, but merely to take sleep. You
may put US down 3, 900 ma jority for CLAY and
FILLMORE.
| see by your paper that the Postmaster has
ordered the transmission Of papers for the West
via the Housatenc Railroad discontinued. Mr..
Wickliffe is not blind, and does know that the
subscribers to the city papers aoiH haze them IN
the shortest time possible. Now If he Is not
willing they should be sent to Albany and mail
ed, when the postage accruing thence to any
point west or north is Just as much as from your
II ~
sistance. The People have got their eyes open
on this matter of Post Office extortion; and, as
revolutions never 90 backward" they will not
cease knocking at the doors of Congress till their
petitions are complied with.
Extensive preparations are making for the next
seasons business. New warehouses are build
ING along the dock and the sound Of the me-
chanic's hammer is heard on board all our steam
craft Three or four new boats are in progress Of
erection for the Lake trade; among them, one At
Cleveland, by Jesse Smith, $50 feet long, 81
beam, IA hold, with dining cabin on the upper
deck $50 feet long by II wide in the clear she
is to be propelled by eng inc of $50 horse-pow-
or, and is to have all the modern comforts and
convenicnces and is to be IN command of Capt
Howe favorably known as Captain of the Ches-
apeakc. The Messrs. HOLSTERS of this city are
also building beauty at Perrysburg, Ohio, which
for comfort they intend shall not be surpassed
The Wisconsin is having an upper cabin added
to her already capacious accommodations and
her Captain (Randal) says "she shall be right
cost what it may" Ncwherrys new boat, the
"Nile," is ready and will be out in the spring Also
SO, with the magnificent steamers already in com.
mission, travellers may be assured of having am
pie room and verge enough to suit the most ex-
acting. Let Wing policy prevail, and there will
be business enough for all who float, and for all
who stay on terra frma. AS any thing occurs
worthy Of record, you shall hear from Yours H.
RIGurs OF MARRIED WoMEN.-The following
is the substance of the bill introduced in the AS
sembly of this State by Mr.. YoUNGs to assert aad
protect the Rights Of Property of Married Wo-
men, viz
SEC. l. Any estate, real or personal, belonging to
a female, which may before marriage be obtained
| by her personal industry or which she may AT
any time be entitled tC by inheritance, gift grant or
devise, and the rents, issues, profits and income
thereof shall be and continue the separate estate Of
such female after marriage, and subject to her own
control to the same extent after as before marriage
and none of the said property shall be liable for her
| husbands debts engagements.
! SEC. ?. That estate of a feme covert OF which
she is possessed or entitled unto, in her own right
| excepting her contingent rig ht OF dover IN the
estate of her husband,) shall henceorh pass by her
deed without q previous examination before the sur
rogate of the county in which she resides. who shall
make known 10 her the contents OF the deed and the
effect the same has upon her rights and interests,
and the rights of her heirs and she SHALL after hav
inc been thus made acquainted with the contents OF
the deed and the effect the conveyance has upon her
rights and the rights interests OF her heirs,
| knowledge, on OATH that she executed such deed
freely and voluntarily, and of her own accord with
out any fear, threat or compusion of her husband.
Sec. g. On the demise of the wife during the life
time Of her husband, ne shall be entitled to such
portion of her property owned and possessed by his
wife at the time OF her demise, in like manner, and
TO the same or like extent by the laws OF this
state the widow is entitled have possess in the
estate and property possessed by the husband at the
time of his demise.
Sec. H. Any married woman may, by will, be-
queath or devise her property, or any part thereof,
as fully and in like manner as if she were sole.
The objection to any such law is the danger
that bankrupt knavsh husband may cloak his
property under the title Of his wife, and live in
luxury while his creditors suffer. We hope, how
ever, some bill like the above will pass.
IMPORTANT FROM SANTA FE.-A letter from
Santa Fe, received by gentleman in ST. Louis, a
few days since, states that in the early part of No
veRlber last there quite mutny of the Next
can soldiers of that city, in the public square III
front of the Governors Palace. It was Immediately
quelled, however, by the Governor in person, with
80 soldiers and II FOUNDER shotted and pointed
towards the mutineers, the match being lighted
Only two were killed and three wounded in the af-
fair. A rumor had just reached the capital that
Armijo had been removed and a new Governor was
within 200 miles of the city.
LEGISLATIVE SCENE.-An alteration took place
in the Tennessee Legislature on the 18th instant,
between a Mr.. T and Mr.. Miller, ending in a
feht which was finally terminated bv several mem-
