CANADA.-Some Of the Wing journals talk sneer-
ingly Of annexing Canada. A few years ago
when such an event looked probable no such idea
was prominent in their minds. And we charge
them not to be too precipitate: unlikely as such
an event appears we feel as certain, as we do Of
our existence, that we of this generation will bs
called upon to decide The question:; and then il
may be rscollected that they once pretended to
approve it, Let any one take up the map and look
at the position of the peninsula of Canada West
which lies east of Michigan. Let him look at
that noble stream, the st. Lawrence, which should
be our natural outlet to the ocean, and if he cannot
forsee the future annexation of Canada he must be
blind indeed. The outbreak and bloodshed 10 un.
profitable in that country few years ago have been
quelled, but the same causes still exist-tho same
aspirations for liberty are still felt; and /, 4, az inn
possible for that country to remain under British
rule as it is for the human mind TO stand still.

not be drained into the lap of European power,
whose aims and efforts are hostile to every thing

THE ONO STATEsmAN.-The Editor of this jour-
nal, Mr.. c. c. HAzEwELL, has at length arrived at
Columbus, and taken its management into his
own hands. He brings with him reputa-
ton for high talent, and pure Democracy, which
his Introductory address fully sustains. We
feel confident that ne will use the large influence
over the Democratic press of the State, which 10
derived from his position as well as talents, to
uphold sound radical doctrines, which alone are
truly conservative; and he rightly urges q firm
and hearty support to the Democratic National
Administration, which is the duty of the press so
far as the Administration carries out honestly tho
great principles of the party. Mr.. H. is we'll
qualified to win and maintain that high respect
and esteem which was so universally accorded to
his predecessor; and we most cordially welcome
him to the leading place among the editorial de-
tenders Of Democracy in Ohio.

" The Editor Of the Stark Co. Democrat pub
fishes lengthy article to prove that the abuse
heaped upon him by the agents and creatures of
the Bank of Wooster is false. We have no doubt
of it; for those who are preparing to defraud the
community have an interest in defaming every
man with nerve and honesty enough to expose
their designs. We hope the time will come when
the people throughout our country will be pre-
pared to take the part of honest truth against
bloated fraud and not always decide the question
in favor Of wealth.

NOBODY TO BLAME.-When a Steamboat bursts
her boiler, the newspapers, after enumerating tho
scalded, wounded and killed, gravely tell their
readers that the captain and his officers did their
duty-there's nobody to blame-but the boiler.
When two railroad cars come in collision

made the occasion for describing the excellent
qualities of the Engineer, who of course is no way
chargeable with the accidents; and when q Bank
fails to the tune Of 2 or 300 thousand dollars,
the banker is not to blame at all-he is an unfor-
tunate man who is suffering from the effects Of
an explosion that puts 100000 in his pocket.

THE REPRESENTATIVE CONVENTION, ,as will be seen,
takes place on Wednesday, the 9th inst We
are glad to see the Democracy of Putnam waking
up on this subject; and doubtless her sister
counties are not idle We hear there are several
candidates for nomination and we hope that the
selection will be of capable, honest and sound
Democrat. The Democracy of the Northwest are
radical in principle and should be represented by
men of kindred spirit. No definite arrange
ments have yet been made in relation to the Sena-
torial convention. The Central committee of
Putnam County prefer Ka!ida, as the place.

Capital combines, and establishes Banks
and Manufactures; builds Bridges, Steam
Boats, and constructs Roads; and the CO.

Editors we might name. But when Labor

Thank you, Mr.. Advocate. You will have
complete submission to your favorite system, or
if doubt is intervened, forthwith you proceed
to thrust forth the unfortunate dissenter headone
from the synagogue. We have yet to learn tha,
to doubt the success of system that failed in
France when attempted to be carried out under
the eye of Fourier, its founder-that has failed
every where it has been tried, is sNEERlNe at it.
In what we wrote Of it, we alluded with the res
pect which we felt for great though unsuccess-
full effort, and we are classed With the Cross &
journal, which assailed the attempt as infdsl and
detestable! Not only this, but we are charged
with enmity to the combination Of labor! Those
who have perused our journal will find some diff.
ficulty in arriving at this conclusion, and 90

The PRESENT DANeER.-Let the people beware
"a National Bank has indeed become an obsolete
idea-only kept in memory to cover system
more fraudulent The Pet Bank system is now
the great danger; it has for several years been
silently allowed to exist W ith scarcely word of
condemnation. The thirty tyrants were far more
dangerous to Athens than one, andl the bait to a
thousand banks held out by the present system is
far more corrupting,and more dangerous than
even National Bank could be; because such an
institution would eonfne corruption to the recei-
vers of government favors; the present extends
the evil and corrupts the expectants.

To CLEAN WINDows.-A new method of
cleaning windows is now coming into gene
raj use, possessing many advantages over the
old system of using whiting, &c. The win
dow is first busted with bunch Of feathers,
or dusting brush, and when all the dust is
thoroughly removed, place bowl of boiling
hot water at the base of the window, the
steam Immediately covers the glass, which is
removed by wash leather, and finished off
with another quite clean and dry. The
method saves time, prevents that cloudy
appearance left by whiting, and produces a
more brilliant polish than any other.

THE RELIGIOUS WoRLD.-The Pusey excitement
is producing its legitimate effects in England.
Newman the leader of the tractarian party at OK
ford has written book to justify his secession
from the Church of England to that of Rome, and
another tractarian, the Rev j. M. Capes, of Estover
Bridgewater, has announced like secession. The
Swiss it is expected will ultimately expel the
Jesuits from Switzerland. The Pope has refused
to condemn the order in France which creates
considerable excitement there. Ronge, the Ger
man Reformer, is making numerous converts,
and is about to marry young and wealthy girl,
thus giving practical lesson against priestly
celibacy Thus, in England, Protestants are re-
turning to the ''mother church :" while in Germany
they are renouncing her guidance. Religious pro-
gress seems to be confined to describing circle.

the Vicksburg Sentinel and the Mississippian, the
two leading democratic papers of Mississippi,
with the grave offence of suppressing the commits
sion of Mr.. Thompson, who was appointed to fill
Mr. Walkers place, in the United States Senate,
after he had resigned. 1t charged tha, the COM
mission of Mr.. Thompson, which had been sent to
Mr.. Walker, by the Governor of Mississippi, was
withheld from dishonorable motives. Mr. Walker
states in his letter on the subject that he merely
acted as the agent of Gov. Brown, of Mississippi,
who only authorized the delivery of the commiss-
ion in case il was necessary to secure the election
of public printer; which exgency not occurring he
did not feel authorized to hand the commission TO
Mr.. Thompson.

GAS the stamp act is at length repealed.
| am willing you should have new gown

How many of our great statesman could
say this, or anything like this, of their wives
in the present day? The piano is in the
place of the spinning wheel, and too many of
our rich mems daughters look upon homely
household duties with but little less repug-
nance then they do poison. However it is
not best to croak over to-day. If the times
demanded it, we believe there would be
manifested devotion and patriotism worthy

ONE STEP IN RRFoRM.-Gov.; MARCY, Se-
cretary Of War, took upon himself the res
possibility of an innovation on old usages,
which we must commend. He dispensed
with the appointing Of favorite party friends
from different States and different sections
of States as Visitors to the West Point Aca-
denny, but required officers off of duty, al
ready on pay, to perform the labor of exami-
nation--which in either case--either exami-
nation by politicians, selected from all points
of the compass, or examination by army offi-
cers,-is mere farce, and of no utility what
ever. What we commend in the Secretary
is that for useless service he dispensed with
useless expense,-he did net have men
paid large sums, when the same nonsense
could be acted Just as well by others already
paid. q
We agree heartily with the New York Sun
and several other papers, that have turned at
tention to the West Point Academy, that
the Secretary might look closer and discover
whether that Military Institution is after all
of the least use to any body in the world
over and above the Congressmen whose
sons, nephews and cousins are educated
there at the national expense.
We know how earnestly General Wash
ington advocated the establishment Of a
Military Acadamy, and we believe the one
at West Point was established in accordance
with his suggestions. He wished 10 educate
officers and engineers whose services would
be available TO the country when wanted.
A most laudable desire at that time. II was
impossible that he, with all his talent and
wisdom, should foresee the fact that the first
quarter of the present century would produce
hundreds of engineers whose genius and
energy-unaided by the general government
would link the States Of the whole Union
together in indssoluble bonds by beauti-
ful net work of Canals and Railroads! Ex-
perience has taught us that our best engi-
neers, men whose genius and energy, if not
the force of circumstances, led them into the
prefession--came into active life under the
stimulus Of wholesome emulution. The
West Point Academy is, in one sense, ma
tonal monument to the wisdom and foresight
of Washington, and would have accomplish
ed all that its great founder anticipated, had
merit or genius, and not favoritism, regulated
the appointment of students. s.''--Cincinnafi
