not want any special privileges guaranteed to them
All they want is justice. They do not want men
from every State in the Union, who owe NO allie
glance to our State who property, and pay no
taxes here, to be privileged in coming in and par
taking Of the benefits which they spent years before
they could attain
We hope Congress will see the justice Of their
cause and repeal the law Of 1887 and give back to
this enterprlsng class of men the right to enjoy
those privileges which they have been improperly
deprived OF. Our own State will then have the
business properly arranged.
YANKEE ENTERPRIsE.-That we are speculative
people, full of inventiOn and of rare "modern in-
Stances" is no longer to be thought probematlcal,
or entitled to the consideration of doubt.
| We have, tor years. introduced throughout the
entire length and breadth Of Europe, avery extended
variety OF our domestic manufactures-the products
Of our soil-provisons of every particular quality
and kind, and the Inventions SO especially the dis
tinguished characteristic of our countrymen. We
have exported corn brooms, wooden clocks, ques.
tionable Spices unproductve garden seeds, ct Get;
and to complete the picture, and in order to fill the
cup of our national glory, understand that seven
thousand tons of white gravel have been shipped to
London since the 18th of September last, for the
purpose of identifying the walks Of Hyde, Re-
gents st. James's and Richmond Understanding
ton, Temple and Kew gardens-the Geological So
cety and Surry Geological grounds and gardens
and that profitable trade has been realized from
the Introduction of this article of export. The
white gravel here spoken Of taken from the beach
Of Long Island, and is brought up by means of
lighters and small class vessels, and trans shipped
on board Of our outward bound vessels, (paylng
good freight to the different ports Of Europe
Truly, we are great people, an enterprising peo-
pie, money making people.

NORTH RIVER NAVIGATION mild, soft wea-
ther which we have had for the past week, has
thoroughly loosened the icy bands of winter, and
few more days Of similar temperature will, pro-
badly, open the river navigation. On Thursday last,
the river was open as far as Poughkeepsie at which
point the mail was landed. The Albany papers of
Saturday, state that the water had risen nearly to
level with the dock, and that freshet was antlc-
pated in consequence of the heavy rains. The snow
in that city has lam on the ground constantly for
one hundred and four days, aording capital sleigh
ing ever since the LIST Of December; this is rapidly
thawing away, and will occasion tremendous rise
in the river, sweeping away all the ice that now OBJ
structs navigation, and, perhaps, something more
valuable.
New HAMPSHIRE ELEcTIoN.-The election, just
ended in New Hampshire, was very singular one,
and the result has surprised many. twas an elec-
ton not on strict party division, but affecting all
sorts Of questions abolitionism, per-
secution, whigism, democracy, Texas, anti
Texas, Oregon, &c. &c. Owing principally, how
ever, to the attempt to overthrow Hale for his vote
in Congress on the Texas resolutions, the party
lines in the State have been completely broken up;
and the wings and independent democrats will,
probably have sufficient control of the Legislature
to elect their candidate to the United States Senate
and regulate other matters, far from being agree
able to the hard-fisted democrats, who have ruled
that State since the food.
ANrI-RENr1sM.-We predicted, at the commence
ment Of the difficulties among the tenants of the
Patroen Van Rensselaer,, that antl-rentism was des-
tined give the people and Legislature of this State
great deal of trouble. We refer our readers to the
letter of our Albany correspondent in this days pa
per- for an account Of animated discussion on this
subject in the Assembly There is an evident de-
sire the part of members to delay the question;
but we think the sooner the question is taken up
and disposed Of, in some way other, the better.
The question has nearly reached crisis, as we
perceive its consideration is set down, by special
order, for Tuesday of next week. and is to be con-
tinued until the matter is disposed OF.
MIsMANAGEMENT IN THE Posi- OFFIcE.-We have
lately received several complaints from Providence
r. l., relative tothe non-receipt of the Herald We
will find out whether the fault with our Postmaster
or the Postmaster OF Providence. 1t is with one of
those, we sure, for the papers for our subscr-
bers regularly sent from the Herald office
