Tur OPENING OF LAKE SUPERIOR.
The subject of opening The inland sea of
Lake Superior TO the enterprise of Anleri-
can CT izens, will be again ag 'ta'ed at the
present session Of Congress. The canal to
D., constructed around the Falls OF 81.
Mary, is only one mile and a half in length
which can be completed Tor vessels oil Inc
largest class for sum not exceeding Two
hundred and fifty thousand dollars. 10
lastly this expenditure, il IS reasonably
supposed that the increased sale OF public
lands nr,und that Lake would more than
repay the United States, the first year after
this great work is opened.
Independent Of these pecuniary conside-
ra,ions, it will BE- remembered that this
small outlay would unlock to commerce the
largest body Of fresh water in the world,
Lake Superior being not less than $50
miles in length and 1870 in width. It's
white fisheries, yet in their infancy, but
destined to rival the celebrated cod fisheries
of Newfoundland its immense and mex
haustib'e mines of copper and lead, offer
considerations Of national Importance 10 its
favor.
As there is now q manifest feeling in
Congress for encouraging the settlements
o'or new and enlarged territory, we cannot
believe tina, the opening of Lake Superior
will be overlooked, should Congress orga-
rnize the new territories of Nebraska and
Oregon. The habits and instincts of our
coua,rymsn show that they will continue
to spread over more country. Though
some regret this, we do not, us it is the best
evidence Of the freedom-lo loving character
o. our people. The national legislature,
by wise and constitutional laws, Gun give
that impulse healthy direction. The shores
of Lake Superior are now sealed to the flow
of emlgratlon-almost as much SO as are
the far distant lands oc Oregon.
As the general government is the great
landed proprietor Of the Lake Superior re-
glen, it would seem not less than sound
policy TO take measures to sell those lands,
especially when il can be done at an expen-
dllure so moderate. Albany Argus.

FRANCS AND MxxIco.-The Courier des

thority of letter from Mexico, that a

France, charged with demand of repara-
'oh Tor Inc numerous outrages committed
upon French citizens, by the Mexican Gov
eminent, since the treaty Of Vera Cruz
ne Courier believes that such demand
has been made. but doubts the appointment,
OF special Envoy, considering the vigil
lance and tlrmness ofthe resident Minister.
The same letter says tina, the Mexican
Congress has removed Santa Ana from IN.
command of the army and given i, 10 Gen.

asslgucd as the cause, the President of the
Republic being incapable Of assuming the
chief military command.
