Michigan Road.

This road, which, for many years past, has been a
terror to all travellers, will be turned into
Portable plank road for many miles north and south of
Logansport. The company south of Logansport are
deriving dividends from the work finished and
raj propositions are before the Board Of Directors for
finishing the next ten miles Immediately, some of
which will doubt be accepted. Indianapolis is stand
ing STILL in this important matter, although last spring

The plank road north Of Logansport is progressing
finely. new steam mill of superior power and
speed has been erected on the Michigan road in Fulton
county, fifteen miles north of Logansport The engine
was manufactured at Coldwater in Michigan, by Wal

Gen. Cass and the Settlement of the Slavery
Question.

The Kentucky Statesman, able paper has a truth
full article of two columns relative 10 General Cass and
the settlement of the agtatng questions before Con-
gress 1t takes the ground that the great point in the
slavery controversy has been adjusted upon the precise
ground occupied by Cas and the democracy in the eec
ton of lS4S and clearly maintains it. This is clear
for dispute; the most reckless partzan editors will
not deny it. Now ask-WhGt position did his oppo-
nenfs occupy at the time this question: The public
events of 1S4S vet fresh in the recollection Of the
people. While the leaders of the whig party were at
one time lodging about in all directions, avoid
ly exposure of their principles and at another time,
counting all sides with complet assortment OF princi
pies, Gen. Cass, planting himself the constitution
faced and repealed the whole tide Of northern fanateism
His views were proclaimed and well maintained while
sentiments of every kind and adapted every latitude
marked the double dealing of his opponents The PEG.
pie deceived; dupicity carried the day, and
have felt its bitter effects in the alarming dssensons
from which we have just escaped. Gen. Cass de-
eated, but his has trunphed His integrity
mpeached and his fidelity questioned bun time has cured
all eors-he has lived TO yindleate his fame noby in
the Senate and the principles he upheld give
guilty to his country.
While We all rejoice at our escape from menacing dan
gers cannot be forgotten that they might have been
avoided if fair issue had been presented two years ago
The people, repeat, deceived but they will re-
member their deceivers. The day of reckoning is
far distant When it arrives, they will rebuke fraud
again. they have rebuked heretofore and teach Pc
iticans that power ouly won, IS lost.-Detroit

1.-THE editor of the Owensboro American, author
ity of Mr.. John B. Adams, Of that place, who was a
passenger the Kate Fleming, says:
The engineer as soon as he could reached the shore
and took his heels; and it well perhaps that he
done so, he would have been hung had the enraged
passengers caught him.
cit is said that as the trunks and boxes taken
shore, band of outawed Irish would seize them and
proceed to break open and divide the property. The
trunk OF a lady broken into Thieves caught
and severely chassed II was only the influence Of the
ncensed company from hanging these outlaws Prepa-
ratons were made for the purpose but the punishment
committed to ashes on the bare back.
'The accident is attributed the careessness Of the
engineer; and it seems that he was conscious of his
guilt and hid himself in the woods"

1.-THE Cincinnati Commercial says that among the
important inventions recently exhibited in the Mechan-
les Institute in that city Type Machine invented
by Mr. Wells, of the Cincinnati Type Foundry, an
order from London which turned beautiful type
with extraordinary dispatch. The fact that London
sends to Cincinnati orders for improved machinery is
certainly small compliment to her mechanics, and
there cannot be doubt but this Institute will have
tendency to invite mechanics still greater improve
ments and elevate them to still higher position than
they occupy in usefulness.
