Prrdoned.-The President has pardoned
seaman of the Barque Cactus, by name, John
Harding, convicted sometime ago, in Phlabel-
phia, of man slaughter, in causing the death OF
the seconh mate, in an ARRAY on board.
Gov. Young has also pardoned Midshlp-
man Pollock, sentenced to five years imprison-
ment, for shooting with intent to kill, the Edi-

.Naral.-The Buffalo Courier states that
Lieut.. McKinstry has been detached from the
steamer Michigan, and ordered to the st, Ma
ry, sloop of war, at Norfolk.
Virginia and Ohio.-The Virginia and Ohio
Commissioners have adjourned without being
able to settle the boundary question. Ohio laid
claim to the low water mark. Virginia claimed
the high-weter mark, but was willing to make
the water in the channel whether hig or low,
the boundary. This proposition was not acce-
ded to by the Ohio Commissioners, and conse-
quently nothing has been done. -
The Weather.-The weather seems to have
been mild and unreasonable, so far this winter,
in all parts of the country. In the middle States
there has been nearly no cold weather. The
New York Sun says: soft crabs were serv-
ed up at the United States Hotel, Philadelphia
on the 3lst ult., about month earlier than us

This delicacy is not in season, even at Norfolk,

Who shall be our Cendidate2

In every circle. and witw every person, in
terested in the subject of the coming Presiden-
tial Election, the most absorbing question is:
"Who shall be our Candidate?' This will, of
course constitute the main theme of Argument
until after the meeting of the National Conven-
tion:-which we apprehend will, in effect, de-
eide who is to be the next President.
We are aware that our voice, in this matter,
can avail little or nothing; yet, in common with
our Wing brethren, we wish to have 'our say
about il, and we shall accordingly exercise the
right of independent speech, refused to none
except the hirelings who conduct the papers in
the pay of the Government.
The name of GEN. TAYLOR, has since the
commencement of the war, occupied the minds
of many of both parties who remember with de-
light their respective triumphs under the ban
ners of Jackson and Harrison; and the eclat
which has attended his victories has induced
many of the thinking portion of the Whig Party
to regard his nomination with much favor. As
the final result of the war begins to open, how
ever, the heat of enthusiasm begins to subsde,
and the suspicion of General Taylor's non-com-
mittalism, becomes more confirmed in the minds
of the People at large, his chance of an cleo
ton senslbly dininishes. The people have had
ample time to recover from the dazzling effect
of his military achievements, and the many OBJ
jections, all of tremendous Importance, in par
ty SO little held together by party dicipline as
the Wing party is, bear against him with over
wbelming force. Some of these objections We
will notice. He is only known as mlitar
chieftain. This objection, both in its PERSONAL
bearings, and in the light of the pernicious ma
ture of the precedent it furnished, was strongly
and Justly urged against Jackson: yet Jackson
had been retired from military service long pre-
vous TO his nomination; and we had not then,
as now, seen the fatal effect of elevating mere
military chieftains to the Presidency. Gene
ralTaylor is fresh from the fields of his triumphs
"a hero of renown taco gears old!-and that
renown acquired in war which thousands of
those who labor efficiently in the Wing cause,
trace directly to profigacy attending the elcva-
ton of General Jackson, and regard as the
true ful6lment Of the very prophecies they
male in opposition to his election!
1t may be said these very men contributed to
the election of Harrison: And so they did;but
who will pretend that their preference was yel-
ded to that great mans military renown! His
was happily -bendedunited character of chief
tain and civilian: such is not Gen. Tayl get.
But, again. There are thousands of Wings
who voted for Tyler with distrust and thou
sands of others, that dreamed not of harm until
his treason burst upon them, who have sworn
with uplifted hand never to support man whose
principles are not clearly avowed; and 'ehen
Whigss,rear they Keep their ,co'd. But Gen.
T'ayIor, will make no further declaration of his
principles than he has already done: And we

Mr.. Editor:-
Some five weeks of the Session
have now passed, and but little has yet been
done by the Legislature.
An act has been passed appro priating some
seven Thousand acres of land for the purpose of
making improvements in the vicinity of the Hol-
land company. Awaiting themselves of this
act as precedent, those in the Legislature who
epresent principally the new Counties, are
urging strenuously, farthe appropriations for
other improvements, such as making roads, bridg
es, sc. There are vet left of the FIVE hundred
thousand acres of land, donated to this State
by Congress, some two hundred and nine thou
sand, nine hundred and forty-fve acres. Itap-
pears to be the object of part of the Legisla-
tnre, to apporton this amount upon ne,o ,oorks,
rather than to apply it to cancel so far as it may

The subject of Banks, and Banking, has been
introduced into the Senate. Mr.. Senator Girls
void, of Detroit, has made set Speech against
all Banks. He goes against the system, root
and branch. The debate occurred upon the
Bill to extend the Michigan Insurance Bank
Charter. Dr. Denton has, from a select Com
mttee on the subject of the County Court sys-
tenn and judicial reform, made report, in which
he shows the great saving of time and money
attending proceedings in the County Court, as
contrasted with that of like business in the cir
cult Court and the Report more than intimates
that the opposition to the County Court, arises
principally from Lawyers; who are interested
in keeping up such system as will afford
them the most business and the most pay
The Report contains statement of the County
Clerks, from twenty-eight Counties, of the ex-
penses of suits &c., tried in the County Courts
of the respective Counties-The expence of

LETTER FROM THE CAPITAL.

Michigan, February 9th, 1S4S.
Mr.. Edtor:-
You will perceive by the An
nual Report of the Auditor General, for this
year, page is, among "the resources applica-
Bile to the payment of the Internal Improvement
Debt, nnsold Internal Improvement Lands, 2O9
945 acres, at Sl,25 per acre 1892, 49," This
amount is available to pay CUR State indebted
ness, and if properly applied would relieve the
people of this State from SO much taxaton.-
There is however disposition in the House to
use up this fund on works of internal improve
portions of the State,-in making roads, bridg-
es, SIC. 1t will be borne in mind that our State
debt is now two millions of dollars, and that the
greater portion of that debt is for Expenditures
on works of internal improvement in the new &
sparsely settled parts Of the State for the debt
incurred for the Central Railroad, has been can
celled by its sale. We are aware that the ex-
pendture of these two millions, which we must
pay by taxation, has been, to great extent, use
less because of the want Of population and bu
siness in those parts of the State where it has
been expended. will not additional expen-
dtures in the same way, be useless. The
State is in poor situation, at the present time,
to break in upon the old rule and law, which re-
quires each County and Township to build its
own roads and bridges. You will see by the
Journals how the Representatives have voted
on this subject. Messrs. Lawrence, Spencer
and Burnett have resisted it by word and vote.
There is disposition on the part of these who
represent volunteer companies in the House to
get hold of the Military poll-tax, and the Bill TO
repeal the Law is STAYED off for the present.
On the 18th instant Mr.. Spencer introduced a
joint Resolution, providing for a final adjourn
ment of the Legislature on the LIST of March
next. He called 1t up on the following day &
it passed-2S for and 10 aganst-and was sent
to the Senate.

THE STATE LANDs.--One of the grestest ar
guments for the enslavement of the State by the
sale of our improvements was. that if held by
the State the cost of prosecuting them must be
defrayed by the whole people while but a part
OF them would be directly benefited. Now
that they are sold, we see, by the proceedings
of the Legislature, the new counties are for
grabbing the Public Lands, which should right
fully be used to liquidate the State Debt, and
ENJOYING the benefit of them to the exclusion. of
other parts of the State. To this we object
wholly. We want to see improvement go on,
and the Central Railroad alone, finished and
properly managed would in less than twenty
years have built athorough system of Inter-
nal Improvement for the State. Now, since
the selfishness of different sections threw it,
with all its advantages into the hands of stran-
gers we think it rather indeIicate to be grabbing
what few crumbs of State property there is left,
while the State is still deeply in debt. No,no,
gentlemen, hands off until the estate, "f the
miserable bankrupt Michigan, is settled; then
if any thing is left let us have fair division.
