HESRy SwAysE, Eso.-'rhis honest ant
talented Legislator from Christina Hundred
has acted well his part and meets the goo'
will of his constituents. He has shown him
self generally in favor of the laboring classe
and of such reforms as are demanded by thu
public welfare. He ably advocated bill 70
voting on the convention question in accord
ance- with the expressed will of a large ma
jority of the people of this County. Messrs
Smith and Evans advocated the same bill. w

Messrs. Editors-A certain man in Brandy
wine Hundred namsd @. 4. p, who has an
excellent wife and foar or five children, has for
A long time past been in the habit Of Keeping
comnany unlqpfuHn with certain cookbook
inc dame, Mrs. s. He deserts his wife and
family for weeks together, leaving them to de-
pond on their own exertions and the charity OF
the noighbors for scanty living, whilo he la
wishes all his means on his abandoned paramotr.
lie frequently abuses his wife, threatening her
life. A short time ago he abused his wife who
to Esquire Gray, who issued war
rant and put it into the hands OF MIR. John
Foulk. Mr.. Foulk, m energetic man, hearing
he was in the nelghbofhood, went with three or
four other persons and captured the offender,
and took him before tho Esquire, who commit
ted him to New Castle goal. While there, he
had the Injustice to state the most glaring un-
truths and ISLANDERS respecting his wife; and
employed lawyer Plat to get him out of prison;
but after being brought out on habeas corpus, be-
fore the Judge and ksaring, his conduct was
so bad that he was remanded to prison. Shortly
after a snug looking woman, representing her,
self as his wife, came 10 see him, and st1id dh
might with him in prison. The next morning
she stated that they had made up the affair, and
that she wished him released on his olvn recog-
nizance, which no doub; would have been done
had the Judge been al home. Before the Judge
arrived, however, Two gentlemen from Brandy
wine Hund:ed, who happened to be at New
Castle, recognized the s'rumpei with whom q
lT. p. consorted, and told the Sheriff that he
had been entertaining the mistress instead OF thu
wife of his prisoner. The Sheriff should b.
careful who he adpis to stay all night, OF hi
will become obnoxious to the suspicion of keep
ing disorderiy house. .s

CANAL FROM THE ATLANTIC TO THE

"The importance to the United States of union
of the Atlantic with the Pacific Ocean, by ship
canal passing through its own territory: and thus
made exempt from the contingencies pertaining TO
a foreign possession in the event of a war with a
powerful maritime nation must &c apparent to all.
Boston would be brought to within 800 miles by
water Of the mouth of the Columbia river IN Ore
eon. and by steam at the rate OF fifteen miles per
hour, allowing two days for passing through the
canal could be reached in eighteen days From
New-Oreans the distance by water would be 1900
miles. at the same rate the voyage could be made
in twelve days. Canton could be reached from n
Orleans in forty days or less. The vast commerce
OF China and the East Indies and the Islands OF
the Pacific, being thus divested OF half ITS distance
and three-.ourths of its perlls, would yield more
speedy returns and greater profits and open 10 me
enterprise OF our citizens boundless sources OF Weah
and by the easy and free intercourse thus esaDsheo
with those countries, an impetus would be gwen

THE FAMINE IN SCOTLAND.
BIZ MRS. L. H. s1GoUnyEY.

There S weeping mid the lonely sea
Where the rude Hebrids lie.
And where the misty Highlands point
Their foreheads to the sky.
The oats were blighted on the stalk,
The corn before its bloom,
And many hand that held the plough
Is pulselss in the tomb.
There is no playing in the streets,
The haggard children rove,
Like mourntul phantoms, mute and slow,
Uncheerd by hope or love.
No dog upon his master fawns,-
No sheep the hillocks throng-
Not even the playmate kitten sports
The sad-eyed babes among.
No more the cock his clarion sounds,
Nor brooding wing is spread,
There is no food in barn or stall,
And all are with the dead.
From the young maiden's hollow cheek
The ruddy blush is gone
The peasant like statue stands
And hardens into stone
The shuttle sleepeth in the loom,
The crook upon the walls,
And from the lauguid mothers hand
The long-used distaf' falls.
She hears her children ask for bread,
And what can she bestow?
She sees their accomplishing sire
A mountul shadow grow.
Oh Scotia!-Sister If thy woes
Awake no plying care,
If long at banquet board we sit
Nor heed thy deep despair;
While thou art pining unto death
Amid thy heather brown,
Will not the Ciyer of our Joys
Upon our luxury irown?
And blast the blossom of our pride,
And ban the rusted gold,
And turn the morsel into gall
That we from thee withhold?
