and Mr.. Webster's reply to il. Gen.
Hayne was an eloquent debater, and fine
specimen of Carol ma chivalry and gentleman
ly bearing. On the occasion in question, he
stood forth ostensbly as the champion of
the South, and ventured to break lance with
the intellectual giant of the North. The
speech is Of interest as a "reminiscences OF q
period of higt political excitement and acri-
mony; and is, moreover, necessary to COM
petent understanding of Mr.. Webster's reply.

"Gen. Pierce may have no other resource
than to distribute his favors to the extent OF

structing the Democratic party from the rem
nants OF the late ultra factions of the North
and South may well be questioned. In any

Our Canal Trade.

The prospect of an immediate lively bus
mess on the Canal, as soon as boats can
reach our city from the interior of the State
and the Lake, is highly promising. Already
are enquiries being made from towns along
the Ohio as to the probability Of their being
able to receive their fall supplies of goods
from New York through this channel-and
as. to the price of freights. 1t must be OBJ
vious to every one that goods can be trans
ported from Buffalo, Erie, Cleveland or To-
ledo, to any point on the lower Ohio, during
the summer and fall months, by the Canal,
from fifty to one hundred per cent. cheaper
than by any other route, for the reason that
al least one or two reshipments would be
saved, and the low water navigation ofthe
Ohio avoided. A disposition prevails among
the Commission Merchants along the line of
the Canal, to offer all the inducements in
their power, by way Of light charges, and
such other facilities as they may be able to
afford shippers, as will make the Wabash
and Erie Canal, preferable to any other
ehannel of communication between The Lakes
and the lower Ohio for heavy freights.
The experience Of Merchants ia this city
and vicinity for the last few y. ars, in getting
their goods forwarded from the E istern citfes
by Railroad and the Ohio river at low stage
Of iter, will no doubt induce them to try
the experiment of shipping by this Canal.
and from the best information to be gal ned
short of actual experiment, there will not
only be saving in time and money, but a
certainty of transportation which the Ohio
above this point does not afford. Several
= lines Of boats are already prepared at Terre
Hauts and other points, to extend their trips
to this city soon as the water will permit
which will bring the products of the "Great
Wabash Valley" to our doors with far great.
er facilities and regularity than ever before
received. When the Canal gets in full blast
the Evansvilians iitend giving a celebration
worthy of the enterprise itself, to which the
world will be cordially invited. and we will
then answer the variors enquiries now on
our desk, to the satisfaction of all.

McGiil, the fisherman, testified that Dyson
had provided arms and ammunition to iimi-
