THE CREvAssE AT FoRTIER's PLANrA.
rIos.-We learned last evening that the
work at this place had been abandoned as
hopeless, and the water allowed to take its
course. The breach is about 800 yards
wide, and in places 20 feet deep. Some
four or five plantations have already been
ruined, and there is every prospect of
many others sharing like fate.-N. O.

The Philadelphia Dispatch, noticing
the spring style Of pantaloons, says the

touch Of the green scum Of the frog pond;

"WhiRinS."

In connection with the information
which we this week give our readers, in.
forming them of another instance of Gen
Taylor's violated pledges-a clear case Of
prescription for opinions sake--we dis
claim the imputation of awhi.ing," which
has been thrown out against us in regard
to similar announcements. We do no!
whine; for we are not at all disappointed
in Gen. Taylor's course, in unblushinsly
violating, and thus early, the only distinc,
pledge which he made to the people. The
democratic incumbents Of these Offices do
not "whine" at sharing the fate of the host
Of good and true men whose heads have
fallen before them. But if the wings, af-
ter their cowardly refusal to announce ere
movals," as such, openly and above board,
think to deter us from informing the peo-
pie of their treachery, by absurdly con-
STRUNG our faithful xpositions into ''whin-
ing" at the fate Of our democratic friends,
they will be very apt TO find themselves
disappointed in their expectations. We
regard Gen. Taylor's promises before, and
his performances after election, as a gross
fraud upon the American people, as base
in design as it is ungrateful and unblusl-
ing in its preparation. As such we shall
always speak of it-not deeming that the
exalted position Of the perpeirator of the
fraud should be a bar TO just expression
OF honest indignation, but On the contrary.
imposes upon him obligations of higher
nature, to set an example Of good faith,
honor and probity before the people whom
he has so basely BETRAYED.

CANADA.-The Detroit Free Pres.

says:--
The press distant from the line between
the United States and Canada, really be-
ileves the tories of Canada sincere in their
talk about annexation. It is not looked
upon in any other light than display of
demagogueism here On the line. The
wrong class of men are pretending to urge
it. A month hence no more will be heard
Of it.

Kissing the Rod.

The public have been looking on for
some time past, to see if the wing party Of
Iowa would tamely bow to the dictation
Of Filz Warren,in his absolute disposition
Of the general government appointments

made against it by so.ne Of the more re-

"LooK When loco foco editors
begin to praise and commend the action of

consequences. If these editors had MOTH
ing to gain for their party by such praise
they would not utter it. We deny the
statement made in the Gazette Of yester-
day and which follows
The most sensible thing we have heard
Of for long time is the determination of
the wings no longer TO submit to the rule

secret that large number of the most in

CUNNING, VERY.-Speaking Of the COM
ing election Of Board Of Public Works,
the Hawkeye indicates the following pol
icy for its party. 1t says,
''Inthe meantime, as the citizens. Of the
Des Moines Valley are more deeply in
terested in the improvement than those of
any other portion of the State, and as We
think they ought to have the principal say
in the matter, let them bring out three
competent independent candidates, ire
spective Of party and let the wings trough
out the State give such candidates their
support"
1.-THE editor of the Hawkeye thinks to
withdraw any portion Of the democratic
strength Of the southern portion Of the
State from the regular nominees of the
Democratic State Convention soon to be
held, by an entirely local nomination, he
will find himself grievously disappointed
in the outcome. The votes OF the south
ern democracy at the August and Novem-
Der elections ought to satisfy old Hawk
that they are not to be tempered with.
.New Government Banker. The New
York True Sun, after giving an able er-
pose of the villanous conduct of the man
agement of the United States Bank, previ-
Gus to the final catastrophe, states that
Samuel Jaudon, while agent for the bank
in London, received $344, U76 80 for three
and quarter years services. Regular
salaries, Office expenses and extra COM
missions make up the immense amount.
The True Sun adds
"The wings went out Of power, but have
again found an available military chiettain,
whose sword has opened to them the
treasury, and public report announces
Samuel Jaudon, Esq, ex-agent and ex-
cashier, as the government banker at
Washington. A new national bank is out
of the question; no person would subscribe
to lis capital nor any business man ac-
knowledge its expediency. The rigid
operation Of the indepenent treasury is
the surest safeguard against the gigantic
political briberies that attended the old in
stitution, and the existance of national
debt is the only link between brokers and
bankers and the government. The cash
