THE GRAND RIVER TIMES.
f GRAND HAVEN, MICHIGAN.
WEDNESDAY EVENING, MARCH 80, 1853.

~ Navigation has fairly commenced, ves-
sells are daily arriving at, or departing from our
docks. On Tuesday of last week the Algoma,
crowded with passengers, made her FIRST trip of
the season under command of her favorite cap
tain, SHOEMAKER. The Humming bird follow
ed on Thursday. In a few weeks there will be
four steamboats, plying between this place and
Grand Rapids This speaks well for the growth
of business in Grand River Valley.
Appearances in this vicinity generally seem to
Indicate a season of more than usual prosperity.
Money is abundant, the resources of the country
are just beginning to be developed, and fair re-
Enumeration is almost sure to attend every well
conducted enterprise. In all parts of our coun-
ty we witness unmistakable evidences of a
steady and healthy progress. The operations
of every branch of industry now carried on in
our midst are being extended. Population is
rapidly increasing, and capital constantly aug
menting. Yet there is nothing of that ftful
spirit of speculation that characterized former
times. Nothing is overdone. If any thing, our
business men are too cautious, and not enough
sanguine as to the future. Perhaps we are some
what inclined to be visionary, but we think there
is enough in the signs of the times to justify
great expectations. Many schemes, promising
much of public utility as well as fprivate emol-
ument, call for the outlay of capital. Butas in
all other new regions capital here is scarce, and
the greatest and most important undertakings
can only be carried on by the aid Of foreign cap
talists, who know but little Of the real wants
and the future prospects of the country. Not
withstanding the degree of Importance to which
this part of Michigan has already attained, and
Notwithstanding its close business relations with
portions of Wisconsin and Illinois, there is yet
no regular steam communication with any port
on the other side of the lake. All attempts to
form communication of the kind heretofore
made, have, from the manner in which they have
been executed, only proved vexaton to trav-
elers, and have consequently failed. The result
has been, that a great proportion of the travel,
that would otherwise pass through our midst,
has been diverted in another direction A safe
and commodious boat making regular trips from
this place to Chicago seems to be absolutely
necessary to the accommodation Of the travelling
public, such a boat would soon be literally pat
ronized. In truth, direct and reliable steam
communication with the other side seems to be
at the present time with us great desideratum.

A FRENcHMANs OPINIoN.-The editor of the
Corier DIES EtatS UniS, who was in Washington
thus writes of the Inauguration "a translation
of which has been furnished us by friend:
"When Gen. Pierce arose, sort OF respect
emotion was apparent among the people. AL
ready deeply impressed by the scene, every one
asked himself, and not without some apprehen-
sion will he be equal to his tasky' But he
had not pronounced three sentences before all
signs of uneasness disappeared-the crowd
knew that they saw before them one of those
privileged individuals to whom God has given
moral force equal to any emergency.
in my eyes, his speech is beautiful and
noble page, which opens sort of new chapter in
the history of the United States-it gives the
will be united in the direction Of matters con-
nected with European politics.
"This must be clear to all who have heard
and read this speech, that the President wishes
that the United States should take its proper
position in the world. He does not wish to
place it there by violence, butrather by wisdom
and firmness-a feeling of justice not less than
of national honor, will be his guide In word
President Pierce wishes to be the intelligent
carrier out of the political system of Washing
ton and Jefferson and not the timid and mista-
ken follower of second rate men who have en-
deavored to change into fixed principles the
exceptional rules which a wise foresight had
pointed out to the Father of the confederation.
The United States laid aside the leading
strings of infancy-they have to-day all the
strength of manhood, and their duty to them
selves as well as to the rest of the world, impo-
ses on them the duty not to forget this fact"

The editor of the Morning Mail, a member

upon the action of that Body:
A debate of more than usual interest com
menced upon this subject in the Senate on
Friday morning. The lateness of the session
and the lhinness of the Senate rendered II most
extraordinary that proposition of such vast
moment and exciting interest should be press
ed at such time. 1t had been indeed a.

scheme would be put in execution which pla-
ces all the improvement Companies oil the Stats
under the heel of the party in power.
The practical operation Of the law will be
TO cast the whole control Of the companies IN
TO the hands OF the State. The law applies to
banks as well as improvement companies, IN
deed to all chartered companies. An amen d.
ment, fered by Mr.. Thomas,to exempt banks
from the effect Of the law, was voted down. All
efforts TO prevent the passage OF this most un-
just, oppressive and ruinous measure were
Fruit ess. Great credit is due to Messrs. Thorn
as. Witcher. Shelley and Saunders for the abili-
ly and zeal with which they resisted the des-
potic scheme. But it was finally passed by a
heavy majority. 1t is apprehended that the
law will have injurious effect upon the in
tcrnal improvement policy Of the State,bat We
hope that such may not be the case.

The wings OF the state.

The Wings OF the Legislature during thu
past week madea recommendation 10 their
brethren OF the State. which. If adopted and
carried out, cannot fail in the end 10 be atten
ded by the best effects. They propose that a
candidate shall be run in every county, moi
only this Spring. but whenever an election
shall take place and without any regard to
success. This mode of proceeding is deemed
essential to thorough organization of the par.
,v--it holds out the best opportunity ofpro-
filing by the blunders and divisions of tho adj
'yersary-and it supplies the most effeciual
means. by public discussions, OF bringing the
conservative and Republican views Of the
Wings before the whole body ofthe people
1t will require labor on the part of the Wings
of the various counties-but The sacrifice will
be such as they, we hope, will be willing to
make for their country. Our free institutions
must be wrecked unless the people are en-
lightened and urged TO therescue.
We commend this matter to the favorable
consideration ofthe Wings everywhere. No
matter how small their number in any county
don't permit that to discourage them. BY
unfolding their aag,and standing by it through
thick and thin, the good and patriotic of the
other party will in tine rally to their aid
Don't mind present defeat-Mat is often the
germ of future triumph. Learn to labor aud

VlRGINA-The N. o. Picayune copies a
paragraph from the Richmond Advocate,
showing falling off in the population of some
counties in Virginia, and slight increase in
others during the last ten years, and comments
thereon as follows: .
This maybe all true. If so. as we do not
doubt, it clearly denotes any thing but p, os.
perity in Warwick and York counties; but Vir-
gnia has walked up from her long sleep; her
people have got the railroad fever and that is
fatal TO the supine inactivity for which m ore
than any other thing, Virginia has many we ars
been noted. When lines of railroad trave rse
that noble State, she will once more be on the
march to greatness-morally, socially and po-
litically; her immensely valuable resources
will be developed; her population will rap
idly increase Old Virginia never tire!
