REDUCTION OF THE CANAL BOARD.

We call special attention 10 the recommen-
datious OF the Governor in reference 10 the
reduction of the Canal Board, without, how.
ever. endorsing fully the position he assumes
The necessity for this step has long been aP-
parent 10 those " 10 have made our system OF
internal Improvements their study, and who
fully comprehend the importance of an ETH.
cient and economical management of them.
Gov. JOHNSTON. however, is II new convert TO
this doctrine, having in his message of 1850,
recommended a board TO consist OF five mem-
bsrs TO be elected by separate districts.
We are well convinced, too, that il the
proposed reduction takes place, the Canal
Commissioner should be required 10 romi-
nate all his officers 10 the Senate for couti7-
NATION. This would prevent the removal o
COOL officers Tor trivial causes, preclude the
appointment of incompetent men and also
prevent The Commissioners from using his
power for personal and political purposes
There can be but lillle doubt but that if Il
bill properly framed, reducing the number OF
Commissioners to one, elecling Stale engi-
neer by the legislature or the people, requlr-
! ing the former 10 nominate his officers TO the
Senate, should be passed by The Legislature
and become law, our Improvements would
soon be made 10 yield largely increased

Cutting der.

As specimen of the means resoried to by
Gov WRIcuT, in the hope ofmaking votes,
in many of his speeches, he exclaims:-
Fellow citizens Did any of you ever
wear leather breeches2 have. Oh dear!
Amt they mighty cold in a cold day
mighty cold day-mighty hot in hot day,
mighty hot in hot day and mighty
tight in wet davi"
Now We didn't suppose, even ifthe Gov
enor ever wore leather brooches, that he
is any better or worse on that account; but
it reminds US few days ago of an occur
renee that took place at an early day In
Illinois.
Two men were electioneering for seat
In the Legislature. "Feller citizens" said
one of them, "when l was boy between
seventeen and eighteen years old. | was
compelled to plough corn in my shirt-tail,
while my opponent here was rubbing his
back against college, Citing his larnin.,'
An old man in the crowd could not hold
in any longer. Stranger, - said heal
| have to say about that's, you must have
have been an ALFRED lazy, mean boy, at
that age, not to have had pair of breech-
es, and rather think you haint improved
