A REMARKABLE CHIIH.

The editor Of the NewcaIle (Ia) Cour,'
er states that he recently saw child three
years old, which weighed over one hvadred
pounds, and measured around the shcs!
inches! This monster baby was
boin within three miles of this pace--J
healthy, well propOrIioned and still grow
ing. We received from his mother the fol-
lowing (ac.s regarding this most exIaordj-
nary child. At birth he was scarcely Of
usual size and weight, and for some months
was quite sIckly and grew but little. His
health, however, becoming good, he com
menced growing and faItening, until now,
at three years of age, he weighs one hun"
dred pounds, and is as large around the
chest, arm or thiga, as an ordinary sized
man. He is intelligent, playful and active
beyond what would be supposed, and, ta'
ken altogether, is the mos. surprising Iusua
naturae we have ever Witnessed.

This gentleman having been regularly
pui in nomination for tho office of Canal
Commissioner. by The Democratic State
Convention, it becomes the duty Of every
Democrat to support him zeaously, and
leave no convenient and honorable means
untried TO secure his election. The office
of Canal Commissioner is one Of great re-
sponsibiliiv, and The State is vitality inter
ested in having it worlhily filled. Mr. Fos"
ter is, probably, more thoroughly acquainl-
ed than any other man in The State, with
our internal improvement system, by his
long experience as an Engineer and Com =
missioner, and this is powerful recon-,
.mendation in his favor. Besides This, he is
known TO be thoro6ghly honest. In the
Convention aud out Of il. the friends OF 9TH
.er candidates have unhesitatIngly conceed-
ed his ability and integrity. The office oil
commissioned is not lucrative, and can
.didale for it cannot therefore have private
interest very heavily at stake. 1t ought TO
he rather subject of congratuIa'lon to the
taxpayers of ,he Commonwealth that they
can secure the services of such citizen IN
conducting our mighty internal improve
ment system, than 10 the nominee himself
Under such mslances;- can
didae able, experienced and honest pre-
senisd for our suh'rages, we bespeak for hin

hundred in LITTLE Columbia. If it shoulC
exceed that a few hundreds, il would be NJ

On the 9Th instant, Mr., Matthias from
the Committee on Pensions, introduced IN
TO lheHouse ofRepresentatves of thisStaie,
a bill for the relief of Eve Cary, of West
moreland county.
The claim of The old lady for pension,
possesses unusual interest. 1t appears that
during a tremendous attack made uponH Ham
nabs,oNn fort, in Wes,moreland county, by
a large party of Indians British and Tories
Eve Cary distinguished herself by extraor-
dinary bravery.
The garrison were frightened and about
&. to yield; but Eve declared they should mol
give up. She inspired the men with cour,
age and the women with forli.ude, and as
sisted in loading the guns, made bullets fol
the men and by her active exer,ions con
t!ibuted largely ,r successfully resisting The
murderous assault by which many weT'
saved from horrible hatchery EYES ia
ther and two brothers had been killed b!
the Indians only few days before The at
tack on Hannahs,own fort. Her conduc
Throughout showed that she possessed III
mos, indomIable couIage-a quality by n
means rare among the women OF Revou
,ionary times. Eve Is now old, inGrm an
Door, and the Committee on Pensions ha'
acted most commercially in reporting b
for her relief.

1t will be seen by the advertisement IN another
column, that the fine steamboat "Osceola,"
Capt James Mitchell, has commenced running
between this city and Washington. She leaves
every Tuesday afternoon at clock, from the
wharf Of The steamboat Maryland, and stops
going and returning at Leonardtown, Cone Ri
vcr, and all the intermediate landings on the
Potomac River. This will be great accom-
mediation to persons living on the Virginia and
Maryland side of the River, as they lave suf
6cient time in our city to transact any amount
of business, and tahe the return boat for their
homes. Capt. Mitchell is one Of the most ex-
perenced and popular steamboat commanders
that ever trod deck. The boat will leave on
her second trip this afternoon.

TAKING TINE BY HE FoRELoCK." We Oh
serve that several orthe papers are discussing the
professions Of those who are supposed likely to
be brought forward as candidates at the next GU
boEnatoria election. They might as well save
their labor, for the candidate of each party will
be selected in due time by conventions, which
y i'll, ofcourse, be governed in their selection
by the influential few, and probably without
much reference to merit. Had we the selection,
we would not place upon either ticket, the
name ofany man who did not stand conspicu-
Gus for his moral and upright department, and
for irmness Of character. We would not have
any mere noso-ofwax placed in the chair of
State, to be moulded by interested individuals
to suit their private purposeS-but stern, in
flexible man-resolved to exercise the preroga-
tves of his office honestly and Independently,
fearless Of consequences to himself. We hope
that such men will be brought forward by both
parties, when the time shall have arrived to
make nominations. 1t is too early at present
to enter into discussions of this matter. The
financial condition Of the State of Mary land
will require prompt aud energetic successor
TO Governor Pratt--a man who will not fear
to assume the responsibility of recommending
whatever measures Of finance he may deem re-
uuircd by the public interest," nor shrink from
the enforcement Of all laws which may be pas
scd for the punctual collection and payment of
the revenue. 1t is possible that the legislature
may find it expedIeat, at its next session, to d.
rect the resumption ofpayments on the public
debt; and ESQ, it will be highly important that
the succeeding governor shall not be disposed to
throw obstacles in the way of the continuance
of this honorable system. We hope, then, that
both parties will avoid bringing before the peo-
Pile, any candidate whose sentiments on the sub
ject Of paying the public debt, may be involved
in the least doubt.

.syVurRE ARE wG'-WHAT ARE We" These
questions conclude an article which we read a
few DAYS since, in a New Jersey paper, upon
,he proceedings of General kearney, at Santa
Fe; and they may we'll suggest to the mind a
faw reflections. "Where are wr?" demands
the writer. As to time, we are in the middle
Of the nineteenth century-in an age which
boasts of its Improvements i'll arts, sciences,
literature, and every thing which can add re-
linement to civilization-an age which has
thrown aside the barbarsms Of earlier periods,
and adopted those more liberal principles
which recognize federation in religlon-lreo-
dom in discusson-and justice in action, which
permit man TO stand erect, as he came forth
from the hands of his Creator, untrammeIled
by arbitrary laws and unscourged by arbitrary
power. "What are we?n We are people
protesting to be guided by the principles OF JUS
tice and Misunderstanding, with jealous
care, the liberty which was bequeathcdto us by
our furelathers-wth 4 written constitution tor
our guide, and laws to restrain our rulers from
acts o! usurpation. We are a people protesting
to set an example to mankind Of moderation in
prusperity-of strict regard for tho rights OF
others-unambtious of conquest and unincln-
ed to .eel power and forget right" We are
engaged in setting the example Of seli-govern-
ment TO mankind; and proudly point to the sue
cess Of our experiment, as an evidence of the
superiority Of republican over all other systems
of government. But alas, in our Civilizations,
we seem to forget, that our professions are be-
lied by our practice. With our republican in
situations we have yet the despotsm Of party
our written constitution binds the weak, but is
violated by the strong-we are moderate in
our pretensions, and yet are waging war of
conquest, adding territory to territory. We
profess to res ect the constitution, but sanction
its open violation by a military officer, when
the act is to bring US more land. We consider
it unfortuna for the cause Of human liberty,
that our practice does not conform more close
ly to our profession. If it did, We should not
now be engaged in war, which will cost a
