SHIP BUDDING ON BAY RIVER. The Ship Yard
on Bay River, in the lower part of County, still
continues in active operation, under the direction of
its enterprising proprietor, Mr. VIM. H. Nichols
We learn that the frame of another vessel of large
class for these waters, being of 400 burthen, was
raised few days since, and is rapidly progressing
She will probably be launched in June next. The
value of our pitch pine timber for ship building has
long been known, and is becoming more and more
appreciated as it is more used. About thirty hands
are constantly employed at the Ship Yard, on Bay
River. tits, we believe, about three years since
the first vessel was placed on the stocks, and the
present one is the fifth large vessel that will have
been completed. Whilst we rejoice to know that
timber and other facilities for this branch of in
dustry such to induce builders from the North
ern States to continue the business in this quarter
the reflection naturally arises, that our own ship
builders, 80 far as we know, equally skful mechan-
les, might also have secured equal amount of mo-
ney for themselves and for their own State, by the
produce of their own labor in this department. AS
to competition, let it be free ALL There is no dan
ger we apPrehend, but good vessels built of ateri.
ais like those on Bay River, will always md ready
market at remuneraung prices. NeWb9ni1n.

4 The Philadelphia Times of late date says:-
" The lion Of city, yesterday. was the vanquish-
eE of Sullivan, Thomas Hyer. He was confined in
the debtors apartment of Moyamensing prison, which
place was beseiged all day by crowds to see him.
The inspectors of the prison allow the s. lion to
everybody he wishes. The respect shown to Hyer,
him. has beaten all to pieces. the late popular de-
monstratons in this city and elsewhere, in honor of
the conquering heroes, coming from Mexico, with
the aurels fresh and green upon their brows. Your
Presidents of the United States had better stay away
from Philadelphia hereafter. Their receptions are
bound to look small by the side of Hyer's.

Gen Taylor and Mr.. Polk will be of the most cour-

In Washington he and his family will receive every

We have no doubt that the courteous relations
will prevail between these two high officers and dis

Mr.. Polk and his family will remain until after
the Inauguration. But we understand his purpose
is to leave Washington on the 9Th of March, with
his family and some of his friends, pass through
Richmond, and take the southern route to New Or

the country which he has never visited.

WHAT HAS CONGRESS- DONE1

Congress has bean in session ever since December,
and the question on all hands is-what has it done
The members have talked, and political capital has
been hunted up, and interest has been excited
member got the better of another in debate or
truth in the abstract trumphed over error but we hear
of nothing valuable in ITSELF or of practical impor-
lance to the country. Why has California not been
provided with Government! Why are not the ne
cessary steps taken at once to establish Mint in
that region! The Baltimore Sun, in noticing this
singular delay the part of Congress in elation
to California, very justly observes:
''The world waits on legislation-perhaps it is
well that 1t should sometimes, for there is energy
in the business, the practical pursuits of lfe which
might otherwise urge the sanguine to fatal temerty
There would be victims to rash and illjudged expe-
riments, but wiser and shrewder enterprises would
follow rapidly in the tracks of the stupendous
projects. Life is action; death stagnation. Our
course must be onward while life remains, and
ward it is though it has to drag the heavy laden le
gisative car, burdened with the collected wisdom of
the land, to legalize the way-and sometimes, let us
be candid to help foot the bill. So while we feel
the impulsive $50 ahead" we must not forget to
turn to Congress now and then beseeching 6 Come

There is glorious future before US, if we step
with foot free and bold into the broad and bright
ening expanse. Our inheritance is pO,uer. If we
use it wisely shall sway the human destinies of
the world Under Providence, we have mission of
benevolence to the people of all lands lying in the
bonds and degradation of unhallowed oppression,
mission to be wrought out from the glorious infu-
ences of our own successful career. mission, in
which it must be ours to illustrate the universal
blessings and benefits to be derived from the unre-
strcted intercourse of nations, for all the ends and
purposes of life. A religious mission, to demon |
strate the grand truth of spiritual toeraton under the
benignant attributes of common Father. And may

We publish to-day the Remarks of Mr.. Love, of
Haywood, delivered in the House of Commons during
the recent session. in favor of the bill lay off and
establish new County by the name of Jackson. The
only barrier which existed to the formation of this
new County, SO zealously advocated by Mr.. Love,
was its lack of the requisite Federal population and
the Chairman of the Committee on Propositions and
Grievances, Mr. Courts, reported against it only on
that account, and with the distinct declaration that
but for this the views of the Committee would have
been different.
We take this occasion to bear testimony to the
marked fidelity and industry with which, during the
late session, Mr.. Love served his constituents The
interests of the people of Haywood will never suffer
while in his hands.

DELAWARE COUNTY.

We are requested to announce, that Pa
trick Hogan, Esq, who received the no.
mination Of county commissioner by tho
Democratic county Convention, declines
being candidate, and that David MaIvin,
Esq, has been put upon the ticket in his
place.
We know nothing O. the reasons, that
have induced Mr.. Hogan to withdraw his
name from the canvass, but presume they
are satisfactory, both to himself and the
Democracy ofthe county, and indulge the
hope that this step will not diminish the
strength Of the ticket. With Mr.. Malvin,
we have not the pleasure Of an acquaint-
ance, but presume, from the fact of his
being induced TO take the place Of so good
democrat, and efficient a man as Mr..
Hogan, that he is one upon whose SLEEVE,
large amount Of faith may very safely
be pinned.
We expect the Democracy OF Delaware
will give Il good account Of themselves
at the August election. They have IL
strong ticket, and by union and harmony,
may be able to elect them. Whether they
succeed, or not, let the whole strength Of

THE CROPS AND THE SEASON.

We have taken some pains to ascertain
the prospect of the growing crops. AS we
have before remarked the WHEAT CROP
promises to be not only the largest but the
best ever raised in Wisconsin; and this is
the tenor Of our information from every
county in the State
AS to the Conn CROP, opinions differ
We learn from Western and Central Wis
consin that the recent warm weather has
brought the corn forward wonderfully, and
the prospect is for fair crop; but from
the Lake counties and from Northern Wis
consin, the crops will scarcely be third of
their usual supply. Many farmers have plan
ted three times, and were finally compelled
by rotting of the coin, to SOW ruta -baga tur-
nip seed, which crop will be better for many
farmers than corn us the ruta -baga is par
tlcuarly advantageous to stock.
