lion Of them with The Lake Iarbors has oft.
en- 10 my knowledge, fatally prejudiced the
former. There are applications for improve
ments of Rivers, about which as matter Of
and constitutional power, have no
more doubt than about the Harbors upon the
Lakes, or The Atlantic coast, and there are
those which in my judgment, come neither
within the principle nor the constitutional
power; but TO draw a line between two clas-
ses Of cases cannot. have witnessed nu-
merous attempts TO do this, but none of them
have appeared very practical.
The facts and circumstances are so varied
between the various applications, that doubt
whether any general rule can be laid down,
which will be found just and practical; and |
think the course most like 10 secure salts
factory result, with the least danger to the
violation of principle, would be for Congress
to act separately and independently upon
sacli application. There has appeared TO
me one broad distinction between these cas-
es which has not always been regarded, but
which | think always should be-. 1t is be-
tween the applications TO protect and secure
the safety of commerce upon Rivers where
il exists, and is carried on in defiance of the
distractions sought 10 be removed, and in
the face of the dangers they place in its
way and those applications which ask the
the improvement Of Rivers, that commerce
may be extended upon them where it is not.
The one class appear to me ask Congress to
regulate and protect commerce in fact exists,
and the other to create il upon Rivers where
il Dies not exists. This distinction, if fcare-
fully observed, might aid in determining
some applications of both classes, but it is
not sufficient dividing line for practical le-
gislatien, if it is for the settlement of the
principle upon which ak such applications
should rest use the term ''commerce" in
this definition, as do in this letter, in its
constitutional sense and scope.

The Eastern Ranks and Spectators

The decline of Breadstuffs in our Eastern cit
les, consequent upon the decreased demand in
Europe will, if it continues, bo very apt to create
trouble among the Eastern banks whose paps like
the devouring locusts of Egypt hasoverrun this
and other Western States. They have lent their
papor by millions to enable Eastern men to come
Yves. to speculate in Wheat, Corn, &c. These
men have depended for the ability to pay the
banks upon the sales they might make, and the
decline in prices will make many Of them large
losers, and unable to pay back the sums borrow
ed to the banks. The distrust Justly felt for this
emigrant paper will send it back TO the bank
counters in thousands, and faster we believe than
many Of the banks either desire or will be able
to seet it,aHd if crash 10 not the consequence II
will be almost miracle. We advise our farmers
to get rid of this foreign trash as soon as posi-.
Bile before it becomes worthless in their hands,
and the fair prospect of partial prosperity is des.
troyed by bank suspensions, and the fruits
of their industry turned to worthless promises.

From the st Mary'0 Sentinel
THE LOST BoY.-By q card in another
column, it will be seen that Col. Sawyer
with all the tenaciiy ofa Fathers affections,
hopes against hope.
There isa bare possibility that his son is
NOT dead. The circumstances which feed
a hope OF this kind are these. Young Saw
yer was tolerably good swimmer, possessed
uncommon energy of character, and mani.
tested an intelligence and forethought, far
SURPRISING his years.
When last seen, he with young Van Horn
was on the horse, few rods from the river
where the body of Van Horn was afterwards
found. The two boys doubtless had crossed
the river on drift TO search for young ducks.
And Van Horn fell into the water in attenIp-
ting to recross. The horse which they rode
having been found loose, during their abb
sence, was removed some rods down the
river, by person passing by and hitched.-
Sawyer seeing Van Horn fall into the river,
from his known intrepidty of character, un-
dsubtedly attempted to save him: which fall
ing to do, his next object would be to mount
his horse, and fly for assistance. But unfor-
tunately, he had been removed from where
he had left him---and being near large and
almost impenatrable forest, he may have en-
tered it in search of the horse, and owing to
his trepidation of mind, become bewildered,
and consequently lost in the wood.
This is the ground of hope tina. he may
still be living. And if he was not drowned
in generously and heroically attempting to
rescue his companion from a watery grave,
then is that hope well founded.

Tax CHIcAo, CoNvENTIoN.-This Convention
wap hold Cd the 9Th inst, ostensibly TO concert
measures for the Improvement Of the navigation
Of the Western Lakes and rivers, and to promote
the buildinH oi Harbors necessary to the preser-
walton Of western commerce. The Convention
after its organization, nominated and appointed
Edward Bates. OF Missouri, as President. Some
dissen.ed in favor Of Senator Corwn, but as the
dissent was quile limited, he had the wisdom
promptly to decline. Eighteen States were rep
resented in the, Convention, mostly by wings, and
from the indefinite character Of the resolution .
we are inclined 10 believe that the object sought
TO be accomplished was mare designed for the
bsnef. Of party thaE commerce. Though the
question is surrounded by constitutional Difficult.
ties, and the improper character Of appropriations
have succsssvely called forth vetoes from Mad
ison, Monroe, Jackson and Polk. yet the Conven-
tion have laid down no principle Of discrimina-
tion between appropriations Of unwarrantabls 10.
cal character. and those necessary to national
prosperity. The Convention has done some good
however, in calling forth tho subjoined letter
from Gov. Wright. In it will be found as close
an approximation as can be arrived at, to the
safe limits Of national appropriations, alike re.
moved from denial Unnecessary Improvements as
from wild, wastsful and dangerous ouiays OF The

The PRICE OF PRMrINa.-Our county Auditor,
after assuming tina, there are two papers pub
lished in Putnam county,-a trihing stretch Of
conscience for him-issued proposals for advert.
sing the Exhibit of Receipts and Expenditures.
Warned by Mr.. Ackermun, that if we bid at all it
must be as near "nothing" as we could come, we
bid 80 per cent less than the price paid throughout
the State, and got the job; bid being 90 cts and
Marot's 25 per square. The object ofthis kind of
underbdding on Marot's part is for mere party
effect. Its honesty. may be gathered from the
following article in the Lima Argus,
In regard to the bids, we have ono word
to say. For administrators sales, Mr.. Marot
always charges $l'25 per square, and he
charges the same for all legal Advertising
Yet he bid % cents per square on the exhib-
il. Why not charge these prices for custom
work. Why does he take from the widow
and orphan, and give TO the county, and
which is the best able 10 pay? We will an
swer? He knew that he could not live at
these rates, but he is made 10 work into
the hands of men, who would filch from hon.
est labor, and increase the emoluments of
oficers-who 10 deceive the people with
the cry of retrenchment, would cut down
the pay of a printer and make it up in extra
clerk hire.
To sustain the falsehoeds which have been
circulated and are now circulating relative to the
charges for county printing, this course of put
ting prices down to LESS THAN COST is
adopted. 1t small gams-adopted for decep-
ton, and is worthy OF the narrow cunning and
litteness of mind that conceived it. There is
neither principle or justice in asking tn perfor.
nance of labor for county or State at a less
price than would be asked and given by private
citizens. But this is the retrenehment of whig-
gery-a robbery Of the wages Of labor.
