MIR. Burns made the LOcOf0cO Scape.
goat.

The exposure Of the system OF fraud and swind-
ling practiced by the Locofoco office holders on
the public works, has aroused the leaders to the
importance ofpacking all their sins upon the back
of some one to be hunted out of camp. The Key
stone has fastened the bundle upon Mr.. Burnes,
the late. Locofoco Canal Commissioner, who is to
be made the scape-goat, to carry from the Loco
foco congregation the sins of the plunderers.-
Well, it is not our business to ease Mr.. Burns of
his load if he is willing to bear it out of camp
we shall let him. But we would like to have it
explained, how it is that when Mr.. Burns was in
office it took but $500, 900 annually to keep the
public works in repair, while now that MIR. Pain
ter takes his place it requires $780, 900, or
TWICE WHAT WAS USED while Mr.. Burns
was in. If the Locofoco press can explain how
Mr. Burns extravagance was SO enormous, and
Mr. Painters is so little, with these facts staring
them in the face, we should like to have them do
IT, If Mr.. Burns was plunderer and expended
only 100000 year, while Mr.. Painter is an
economist and reformer and expends 81, l,200,0 900
we should like TO know 10 what point the most
extensive reform as advocated by the Keystone
and Mr. Painter would reach 1t is most i'm
portant and Interesting subject for the contempla-
ton of the taxpayers IT'D.

Annexation Of Canada.

Gen. Scott has written letter in favor of the
Annexation of Canada. if it can be effected ,o,th
the consent of Great Britain. That is putting a
pretty serious obstacle in the way of the project
If great Britain shall ever become willing to re-
linquish the Canadas, it will be the first time we
imagine, that proud and powerful empire con-
sented, voluntarily, to the dismemberment Of her
dominions. Gen. Scott says:
"In my judgment, the interests of both sides
would be much promoted by annexation-the sew
eral Provinces coming into the Union on equal
terms with our present thirty States. The free
navigation of the St. Lawrence is already of i'm
mense importance to perhaps third of our pres
ent population, and would be of great value to the
remainder. After annexation, two revenue cut
tiers, below Quebec, would give US better secur-
ity against smuggling than 10000 custom house
employers strung along the line that separates US
from the British possessions on our continent !
am well acquainted with that line and know a
great deal of the interests and character of the
Provincials.
What may be the views of the Executive Gov
eminent on the subject, know nothing, but |
think cannot err in saying that two thirds of our
people would rejoice at the Incorporation and
the other third soon preceive its benefits.
"Of course, am opposed to any underhanded
measure. or any other act Of bad faith toward Great
Britain. Her good will, in my view of the matter,
is only second to the Provncials themselves, and
that the former would soon follow the latter--con-
sidering the present temper and condition of Chris
tondon,-~annot ho doDhtod -
Lord Brougham lately made some remarks on
this subject in the house of Lords but he would
retain the Canadas for one of the very reasons for
which Gen. Scott would annex them namely, the
impossibility of preventing smuggling along the
line which divides them from the United States.
His lordship took the ground that the Canada
frontier was indispensable Great Britain in or
der to enable her to enjoy the full advantages of
the smuggling trade. His argument, in few
words, was-no frontier, no smugglng-no SNUG
CLING, no protection. An American tariff is an
absurdity as long as we have Canadian frontier
of fifteen hundred miles. Therefore it was to per-
petrate the facilities Of smuggling, that his lordshp
conjured his brother peers to do all they could to
knit to them the affections of their fellow subjects
in Canada
What the sentiments of the dscontented among
the Canadians, is, on this point, we shall proba-
bly, soon see. The British League convention
of the disconnected, will soon assemble, and will
probably discuss at length, their grievances and
remedies ,g

THE attempt of the Hunkers and Banburners
in New York to form a coalition seems not likely
to be successful as was anticipated. The Hunker
General Committee of New York recently passed
series of resolutions approving of the Baltimore
platform, refusing TO unite with any who will not
come upon their platform, and declaring That
we cannot and will not recognise any organiza-
ton of the Democratic party in this State except
that emanating from the Syracuse Convention of
l647, and none in this county but that having its
headquarters at Tammany Hall"

what is Democracy7

Ii is long time since we have seen Democ-
racy" get harder knock than the New York
Tribune gives it in the following words: q
"Where is the dupe so shallow, so benighted,
so bemuddled, as to fancy there is any real De-
mocracy at present predominant in South Caroli-
ma, where man must own number Of slaves in
order to be Legislator! Or IN Virginia, most
conservative of our States, wherein man own
ing dirt in six counties, may vote six times in one
election, while he who owns none, is not allowed
(as general rule) TO vote at all The simple
ton who could be guled into supposing such States
and rulers Democratic, because they voted for
Jackson, Van Buren,, Polk and Cass, must be gift
ed with an amazing fund of ignorance and credul-
itv"

GRADED ROADS.

Petitions are in circulation praying the
Legislature to grant 'liberal charters for
graded Road, leading from Glasgow 10 st.
Charles, via Fayette," and also "from Glas-

Huntsville"
We hope these petitions will be exten.
sively circulated and generally signed, and
tina, the prayer of the petitioners will be
granted by the legislature. The interests of
the country demand something of the kind,
and this modest beginning will lead to
more substantial improvements. The road
from here to Bloomington, is one in which
the people of this section are directly and
powerfully interested, and they should ACT
with promptness and decision. The impor'
tance of such road, both TO the citizens Of
this place and all along the proposed route
is too apparent TO call for particulars: al
