the "I1ilaIsraIIOl, Agent"

An act oil the late Legislature appropriated the
sum of 300 for the puspose of sending agent
to New York to conduct emIgranis 10 Michigan
Our andhOders did not ,ubt that the same per-
sou would be sent by the governor who had been
sent by them two years agn, aud who Transacted
the business SD well that mnre than 1000 eni-
grants came To this Stale under his dlrectien.--
This agent prudent that the experime Mt
was made for $l25: neither the Safe Treasury Z
nor The Contingent fluid, the Governor him
self: contributed a cent 10 The subscription. The
agent himself expended IA Considerable sum out Of
his pocket in furlhering the ente rprise, and
his labors were crewued with signal success
He carried on correspondence with the prlnci.
pal ports of Germany France and Belgium. He
was prepared TO publish pamphlet upon Michl.
gan, Containing coPIous statistical notices of our
State, its reads the prices aud qualify of land, the
price of grain. DC. which would have been pub
llshed both in German aud French. Blu, for want
of aid this undertaking had to be given up. Tho
election of last fall took place, aud the profound
policy of the Michigan Cabinet began TO envelope
itself. Ii whispered that The agent in ques-
ton uoted the Wig ticket! Two certain persous
ernam mis- of fhe democracy. reported this dam
pog suspicion 10 Governor Barry. and though It
was demIed by The gentlemau's friends, the puri.
iving process was resolved upon. The I0rqae-
mazda mode OF getting at the tra:h was put IN prac-
tee against The offender; spies were employed
to establish that important aud horrible fac; but
nothing was proved, and the :" Holy Democratic
Office, OF Gov. Barry was disappointed offs vic.
tim. The accusers then with rev their charge.
Several most respectable members of the Demo-
CRATIC party then presented to the Governor a pc.
:Ition IN his favor; for time this application
seemed 10 promise success; but dozen other
German Candidates appeared, each one having Of
course peculiar Claims and 10 escape from this
painful situation, the Governor appointed a Mr.
Amy, of Grand River, an American, 10 talk
English 10 the Germans. and 10 negotiate with
them by means Of the runners of New York, aud
to induce them TO go 10 Grand Riyer--,he par.
adse Of Michigan, where the new agent is saic TO-
have a considerable quantity of land for SALE
II is thus that the cabinet ministers of Gever.
nor Barry have developed their inapprecable poll
lev in getting assistance for the next election; and
thus i, is that The people Of Michigan are taxed to
procure purchasers Of Grand River Iands.-Ado.
IRON SAFEs.-We took occasion to inquire Of
The Piitsburg editors respecting the kind Of safes
which best stood the severe test Of their great lire.
The American condemns them sneerngiy az
follows:
Out Of more than enc hundred exposed TO the
fire in this city, not saped even sslucr from
melting, much less "a singe book or paper Sew.
eraI were conveyed into the street, where every
thing in them was burned up even 10 the falsely
called safe itself. We mention this ia ct to out peo.
pie elsewhere on their guard. Our merchants
had them from all quarters and a, all prices. and
not one exposed to the fire, saved single book OF
that is itself fiji for use, excepting two three
which were firmly built IN the wall. or protected
| by heavy brick or stone vaults. So much for
.Saiamanders the Asbestos of all Of them wall
| be found neither more or less than oak plank or
common dirt Let no man, therefore, trust such ia
case of FIRE. The only protection in the fire was
found in strongly built stone vauts.--D AdUer-
