A SHIP CANAL ACROSS NIcARAGUA.-The
President of Nicaragua has issued his procla-
nation announcing that Mr.. David L. White
had presented to the supreme government am
pie powers, on behalf of various persons in
the United States, to contract for the opening
of grand Ship Canal. He also says that
commissioners have been appointed, with full
power 10 conclude an arrangement with Mr..
White upon the subject.
A letter 70 the New York Tribune, dated
Leon de Nicaragua, September 14th, says that
the grant TO the company is for ninety-seven
years, with further extension for twenty
years, and secures the right 10 make ship
canal, railway, or other communication, as
may be deemed most expedient The compa-
ny will no doubt Immediately commence i'm
proving the present means Of transport, which
are, by short land carriage to the lake of
Nicaragua, thence by the lake and the river
San Juan TO the Pacific. This will, no doubt,
be formidable rival to the Panama route
A highly favorable treaty has been con-
cluded with the Nicaraguan government by
our Minister there, Mr.. Squeers, embracing
some important provisions in regard TO the
proposed canal.

0G=Some of the federal press complain most

DIsGRAcEFUL RIOT IN PHILADELPHIA.-The
night of the 9th and morning of the 10th in

riots for which Philadelphia has gained dis
graceful notoriety. The chief actors in it be-
longed to those organized bands of rufians
who, under the name of "Killers," " Rangers
&C., have of late years infested some of the
suburbs of the city, but more especially the
district of Moyamensing. Taking advantage
of the absence of the police, who were at
tending at the polls, for the purpose of pre-.
serving order. it being election day, number
of disorderly persons commenced an attack
on rather disreputable house, kept by mu-
latto, at the corner of Sixth and St. Mary SITS,
to which they set fire, and it, with some other
buildings, was destroyed. The fire companies
promptly repaired to the spot, but were driven
off by the rioters, and several of them woun-
ded. Some thirteen or fourteen persons were
injured, four being killed on the spot, or so
severely wounded that they have since died :;
the rest will soon recover. During the ARRAY,
fire arms and knives were freely used. Next
morning the military were upon the ground,
and the rioters. Of course, dispersed. Several
arrests have been made, but it is questionable
whether any convictions will ensue, as it is
almost impossible 10 obtain evidence against
this gang, who overawe the district they in

day night last, and no one allowed to pass

G-The REPUBLIC, is the name of a new
daily democratic paper, published in the City
of New York The free-soil doctrine receives
no favor from the Republic" The Editors
say that they will " endeavor to unite every
section of the Union, by discountenancing
irritating local dissentons, new political is
sues, and dividing lines-frmly adhering to
State rights, and taking as guides the princi-
Piles which governed the administrations Of
Jefferson, Madison, and other fathers of the
old Republican party, and endeavoring TO
bring back 10 the country, the fidelity, good
faith and justice to the Republic, which dis
tingushed their administrations.
cit will aim to prevent all new issues of a
dividing character, by looking to the Union
and the whole Union; by discarding all con-
structions of tie constitution not warranted
by the constitution itself, and by carrying out
party usages in harmony, honor and good
faith by avoiding Capitalization, undue in
fiuence, and proscriptive measures; by justice
to ourselves and Gberality to our opponents. -
Such a paper as the "Republic'' processes
TO be, is much needed in New York, and
should receive an extensive circulation.

Mr. EDIToR-We, who are Shareholders,
cannot longer remain blind to the necessity of
increased vigilance on the part of those wor-
thy functionaries who are entrusted with the
execution of the laws, in order to protect and
make available our slave property. 1t is al.
most an every day occurrence for our negro
slaves 10 take passage and go North and
what is the remedy for the evil 1t is my
opinion that the remedy is plain and palpable.
We must change the character of Stevedores.
We must have White men in the place of ne
gross engaged in that business, who shall be
under obligations to inspect the stowage of
vessels. AS this vocation is highly profitable.
know that there will be much opposition to
the adoption of this step, but the interests of
the whole community calls much more loudly
for protection than that of individuals, and
when they conflict the latter must succumb to
the former. A word to the wise.

Ns-ln replv 10 the remarks of one Of our

Od-ln reply 10 the remarks OF one OF our
town contemporaries, concerning the removal
of Mr.. Sullivan, we have only to say that,
although Mr. Sullivan never received aUrit-
ten discharge from the Collector Of this port,
still we know the facts as stated by US last
week TO be perfectly correct Mr.. Sullivan
,ras discharged from the Office of Inspector of
the Revenue. The discourtesy of which we
complained, was the precipitate removal of
Mr.. Sullivan, while engaged in discharging
cargo, by which much confusion must neces-
sarily occur; at the same time, that it seemed
like an exhibition of indecent haste, which,
we think, might have well been dispensed
1 with, even in the operation of the guillotine.
What added to the apparent improperly OF
the affair, is the fact that the gentleman who
was put on board to finish the measuring OF
the cargo was brother-in-law of the Collec-
tor, and minor, and also an Inspector, so
that the allegation that Mr.. Sullivan was pre-
vented from discharging the cargo on account
OF being an Inspector, must be without foun-
dation.
Our contemporary tries TO make light of the
fact of Mr. Browns being minor. OF that
gentleman we know but little, and nothing to
his prejudice, but we believe that there are
certain duties connected with his Office which
minor is not legally qualified to discharge
and we can see no reason why Mr.. Galloway
E should be precluded from calling public atten
e zion TO the matter.
p The attempt to create the impression tina
S we are, or have been, influenced by unfriend
y feelings to Col. Rankin, is simply gratui
Y tous and unfounded One of the editors o
: this paper, who was absent last week, ha
e never enjoyed the pleasure of Col. Rankin
a acquaintance, and consequently could have NJ
d feelings in the matter: the other has Away
d been on the most friendly terms with tina
= gentleman. We believe that we have the full
lest right to criticise Col. Rankin's public acts
:. the odium of which, in nine cases out of fen
attaches properly TO the authorities at Wash
ington City.
We are not aware that minors were appoln
- ted under the Collectorship of Mr.. Jones,
:, so, we feel confident that it must have bee
through inadverteney or in ignorance of III
fact at any rate the democratic party cannc
be held responsible for the acts of Mr.. Jone:
he being, in fact. a wing appointee, havin
been placed in office by John Tyler.
In conclusion we may add, that we not on
ly 'spretend," but we feel certain that we wi
elect our President at the next term; and W
will also say, that when we do so, it will b
under no false issues. but every one wi
know just what to expect.
