ter Price only ) per year, or i cents per COPY.
CLERKS AND REGISTERS. In our paper of
Thursday last we gave the substance Of the
bill introduced into the House of Delegates by
DIR. Lynch, of Anne Arundel county, relating
20 the compensation of clerks and registers; but
we were requested to publish the whole bill in
yesterdays paper, which we should have done
had we not unfortunately lost portion of it.
We have since then procured another copy,
which we now publish. 1t has passed the
House in an amended form, and is now before
the Senate, and will probably become law
during to-day. However unpalatable the bill
may be to the officers concerned, (and it will
no doubt be dsagrceable to them,) il is, so far
as We have heard, exceedingly popular with the
people, as it is supposed that it will be the
means Of placing large sum in the public
treasury. The bill, as amended, allows to the
clerks and registers of Baltimore, Frederick
and Washington counties, and to the clerk of
the coukt Of appeals, two thousand dollars per
annum, and to all other clerks and registers
one thousand per annum.
THE RIVER AND HARBoR Bill. We are at
Il loss for the motive which induced Mr.. Tyler
20 pocket the river and harbor bill. 1t appro-
priated money for a variety of most useful and
necessary purposes, and was deliberately acted
upon by Congress. Among the appropriations
we're, SIC, 900 '1or removing distractions from
the mouth of the Susquehanna River, near
llavre-de- Grace, and improving the main chan
mel into the Chesapeake Bay" and like sum
for the harbor of Baltimore. The last object
Is unquostionably of national importancc; but
it has pleased Mr.. Tyler to defeat it at the last
moment of his official existence, and in man
ner to preclude the reversal by Congress of his
decision. 1t was a wanton and unjustifabe
exercise OF power, which will not be likely to
raise Mr.. Tyler in the esteem of his country
men.
The FREDERICK ExAMlNER The editor of
the Examiner must be of a fiery temper, for he
usually goes off hali-cockcd, and shoots at ram
dom. In his last paper he has an article as
exceptionable in its spirit as it is in its Ian
guage; but we excuse the effort to be smalt
and severe, since it has entirely failed of its OBJ
ject. Now what will the editor of that paper
think Of his own justice and propriety when
informed, that the individual to whom he ap-
plies the epithets of Quixotte, &c.. on account
OF short Article which appeared in our CO.
lunns some days since, never saw that article
before ii appeared in print, nor ever read the
article i'll the Examiner upon which it was a
comment? This is not stated because the ndi-
Vidua! desires to shrink from any responsibility,
but to shew the folly and injustice of these per-
sonal references. The person at whom he aims
is well known in Frederick county, and he de-
fies any one there or elsewhere to point to a
dishonest or dishonorable act in his life. He
has advocated the completion of the Canal
with full as much zeal, and possibly with as
much ability, as the editor of the Examiner;
but lie has not undertaken to use offensive Ian
guago in what he has written upon that or
other subjects. lie sustains what lie believes
TO be right, but without harshly denouncng
those from whom he may differ.
"THE AMERICAN WOMAN" 1t is not often
that we are deficient IN attention and courtesy
to the fair sex; but somehow or other we have
been neglectful in paying due respect to the la
dy who conducts small but interesting news
paper in Philadelphia, bearing the title of" The
American Woman We have recently re-
ceived several numbers of the paper, which we
have perused with pleasure. 1t is conducted
with vigor and tact, exhibiting purity of style
and sentiment. We are happy to recognize
the fair writer as co-laborer in the great cause
of MISUNDERSTANDING the spirit of genuine
patriotism into her readers, and spreading and
enforcing the great truth that Americans are,
and ofright ought to be, free and Independent.
The motto of her paper is appropriate to the
sentiments she expresses. This is taken from
the father of his country-"Beware of foreign
influence" The paper is published weekly by
A. ProbaSco, at the cheap rate of one dollar per
annum, and deserves to be literally patronzed.
1t will prove valuable auxiliary to the Anne
rlcan cause; for who can resist the influence of
woman.
The STAMP Act. The bill which has pass
ed the House of Delegates, known as the Stamp
Act, and which is now before the Seuate, from
the highlY preludcal effect il is thnnnht II will
