The great backbone Road.

The six foot gauge Olean Road is attrac-

has been proposed in the West that has awal-

V,Esc Administration.
Dec. 23rd 1852.

1t strikes us that the press is too slack, in
speaking the praise Of the present administra-
ton. Its course has been upright, straight
forward, persevering and dctermined; and is
conducted on principles of equity and equality
that does the republic honor. And many
who are or might be supposed to be its most
inveterate enemies are silent-rot venturing
to vllify the present proceedings which has
cast lustre upon our nation for its course
and upon our people is reflected honor for
having ever placed SO worthy man in the
offlce of chief magistrate. Mr.. Fillmore is a
man of deep mind, and gifted a man, whose
integrity and reputation, either as private in
dividual or as a president, could not be i'm
peached by the vilest party sneak or penny-a
liner who writes for but a morsel day
The Wings cannot too highly boast of theiI
leader, who is alike worthy, capable and pat
riotic, and who has thrown all these combin
ed virtues together for the accomplishment
of his country's good; nor has he departed
| IN any measure from those noble attributes
which characterized his private life; but t.
the contrary, we find him calm and decided
fearlessly performing bis duty as prescribed
by the constitution, and boldly contending 70
his country's rights. When he was a Mem

Santiene sometimes remained out to late
for a man in his position. One evening he
returned to Saint Victor at eleven O'Clock,
and was refused admittance by the porter, be-
cause orders had been given that no one
should be allowed to enter the house after
that hour. After many prayers, and as many
prayers and as many refusas, our poet no
relishing the night air slipped half louis
under the door, land Immediately the bolts were
Withdrawn. AS soon as he was fairly in the
building, he pretended that he had left a
book on the steps where he had been sit
ting. The officious porter, half naked, went
after the book, aud Santiene closed the door
and fastened him out. Master Pierre in a
few moments knocked for entrance, and was
informed by our poet that he could not come
in, AS the Prior had fol 5idden him to open
the door at that hour 40, Monsieur San

Ohio Transfer AGENT in New York.

We noticed yesterday that the Commits
sioners Of the Sinking Fund had appointed
A P. Edgerton, of Defiance, Transfer Agent
&c, in New York, in the place Of the Ohio,
Life Insurance and Trust Company. We
learn that Mr.. Edgerton has already given
bond in the sum Of 100000 and is about
to open Office in New York The reputation
of this only thing which palliates the inconsis-
tency ofhis appointment to such post while
he retains seat in Congress. He is a member
of the present Congress and has been re-
elected to the next. He certainly cannot do
Justice to both positions; his duties in one Or
the other capacity must necessarily be neg
ected. The Trust Company has been the
Transfer Agent ever since it was established,
and has performed the duties not only salts
factorily to all parties and without the loss
Of dollar, but has more than once, by its
own means, saved the credit Of the State.
The State paid the Company, for It's ser
vices, and the heavy responsibility which ii
incurred in the disbursement and transfer OF
large amonts Of public fund and debt, the
sum of $4,000 year. We see it stated i'll the
Cincinnati Gazette, that the new Agent has
engaged a Clerk from the Trust Company
Office at 5000 a year, and in addition Will
have to pay Office rent and contingencies, be-
sides the salary of the Agent. The increased
expense to the State by the change, Will be
equal to some three or four thousand dollars
wear, with a decreased security! Why is
the change made? Because the Trust Com
pany ask Of the State to comply with its con
tract as 10 the taxes 10 be levied on it, and
proposes to submit the question to Courts oi

The Sandusky Register comments upon
our Anti Obstruction Meeting, with that gra-
cious coolnesS, which indicates, TIE cxPcrien-
ced performer Of hard deeds. That print
would sootbe and quiet our feelings. while
gracefully adjusting the bow string to choke
and kill the commerce Of an enYied rival
town.
This course, though it appears to be cum
ming departure ftom the usual gass, brag and
bluster game of the press of that city. with
regard to its local interests, will avail nothing
in the matter row in question.
We clnm that the Sandusky Bay is sheet
of navigabIe water nearly one mile and hal
wide, that It's whole extent is and always has
been a public highway, and that the com,
merce Of Fremont ought and shall float over
it at all times and in every direction.
The Register asserts that there is ne de
sign to obstruct the navigation OF this Bay
Yet avoids mentioning the important and vel
known fact that the Junction Rail Road Com
pany have contracted for a bridge across it.
Why this soothing assertion and this stu
do is conceI Ilnent of fact?
There is but one rational solution of thi
question:
That paper advocates the trembling inter
ests of the junction Rail Road and would n,
doubt gladly conceal from the world just now
the question of that company's right to eros
the Bay BY bridge. 1t would gladly con
ceal the fact that to all rational disinterestet
minds this Company has no power to obstruc
or contract the navigable surface of the Bay
and that without such contraction and conse
quent obstruction, their project, the offspring
despair and selfshness, will forever remain al
unreal, ugly vision. to mock them in their ap
preaching calamity. o.

THE HEART AND TONGUE.
One Mr. ToNGUx,
OF much renown,
Who lived at large
In Tattle Town.
Was mischief full,
And wicked, too,
As all could tell,
If Tongue they knew.
The statute brought,
The charge was plain,
That Tongue was full
OF deadly bane;%
Tongue then was seized,
And brought to Court,
Pleading himself
The ilnpenGing suit;
'Tis neighhor HEART,
Plead Mr.. Tongue,
Who leads me into
81 much wrong:t
l should be good
As ncighburs are;
As Mr.. Nose,
Or Eye or Ear.
Ifncighhor Heart,
Who lives below,
Were changed by grace,
Or made anew:
'Tis very hard
To bear the wrong
Ofneiuhbor Heart,
Said Mr., Tongue.
The plea was sound,
OF Mr.. Tongue;
Jurors and Judge
Said, all as one,
While ueighbor Heart
Is also wrong,
No good. they said,
Could come from Tongue,
The Court decided,
As the best good
To r,novate
The neighborhood
That Mr.. Heart
Must be reaewed,
Or never Tongue
Can be subdued.
