The Wings against a New Constitution.

Hear the Ohio State Journal, the organ
of Ohio whiggery:
"Other people may do as they please-
for it is their right. But for our single
self we have not yet heard the first convinc-
ing argument in favor of change; and
unless the advocates for novelty and expert
ments shall be more successful within the
coming fifty days in showing forth their
strong reason, IT is OUR OPINION We SHALL
VOTE AGAINST CALLING CONVENTION"
Ifreasons enough have not been assigned
in favor of new Constitution, it would be
hard to assign reasons sufficient to lnduce
the voters of the state to favor any measure
that might be offered for their approval.
To have biennial or triennial sessions OF
the Legislature, instead of annual sessions,
and to have all officers elective by the
people, would be sufficient reasons to
induce, the calling Of convention, TO
amend the Constitution, if there were no
other reasons. But there are numerous
other reasons, which we will some other
day attempt to give.-Neauark Herald.

Steam on the Canal.

We have recently paid visit to AIr,
Thomas G.. Harris busy and interesting
establishment at Merccryillc, Washington
County, Md.-Our object was TO learn
from personal inspection what had been
done towards maturing the cntcrprIzc so
spiritedIy undertaken Ivy Mr.. iiarrio' ,"
his effort TO test the NO al Steam, on the
and Ohio Canal. We found
the boat chosen for the experiment in
readiness to receive the engine. which is
on the spot, having been lately brought
down from the Cumberland foundry.
where most of the necessary machinery
was made. The engine is of six horses
power, but the boilers would answer for
an engine of double that force.
Not more than weeks work is rcquir-
cd to put every thing in order for the first
trial, which is expected 10 come of about
the 10th of next month.
The paddlc-whecIs of recent invention
and but just + Atenlcd--arc placed within
three feet of the stern, and are Of very pc
culiar construction, each paddle entering
and leaving the water pcrpcndicuIarly.
The inventor and patcntce is Mr.. IIo-
ratio BIasdelI, who is also the Machinist
in this experiment, and shares with Mr..
Harris the risks Of the enterprise. Should
the effort succeed, as VIC cordially hope it
may, two very important Improvements
will have been made al once. The whole
valley Of the Potomac wonld quickly feel
the effects Of it in an increase Of popula-
ton, and rise in the value and price Of
lands.
We remarked also, three large barges
on the stocks and nearly ready for launch
ing. They are of I25 tons burden each, &
are intended for the transportation of coal.
The aspect of affairs at McrccryilIe was
very pleasing, and shows how much the
spirit and intelligent enterprise ofone mind
might effect, even in comparatively short
period.

Of the Great Charter! The policy nnder
which the South acts in this matter was
long ago exposed and exploded in the Ia
BILE of the man pursued by bear. First
went hat, then coat, then vest, till at last
nothing was left but the naked person; but
all would not do, the man was caug ht.--
The South in dealing with the fanatics
must cease the mistaken policy of running
away; she must turn round, beard her pur-
suers, and fight the battle out with what
success she can. Suppose the District oil
Columbia obliterated at ence from It's
place on the Map and Constitution oil the
Country, would the fanatic spirit be DE-
feated of its purpose! BY no means.-
1t would have been taught It's power,
would have been confirmed in the belief
that nothing can resist it, and like the
bear would get new yigor for the pursuit
Settle the two questions of the "Nllmoi
Proviso'' and the District of Columbia
and what then! Is the trouble all over
The rarthest from it in the world. Mex
would come the bitlerest tug of all, tho
struggle for the life, with all the disadvan'
tage to the South Of having previously
mismanaged her defence. The Slave
trade between the States would be mex
stuck at, and then! but we shalf R0rsuC
this branch of the subject no further.
Undoubtedly the recession of Alexan-
dria County to the Stale Of Virginia by a
mere act of Congress was a usurpation Of
power. Congress was incompetent tc
anv such exercise of authority, and the
first Jurists of the Country have though
and said so. But the fatal act has beer
done. and the consequences we fear WI
not be saIutarv. Oblitcratc the District
and vote can remove the Seat OF Cover
mcnt to the west of the Mountains, a
