{ We are gratified to perceive BY the Vim
csnnes papers, that our beautiful sister city
10 fourishing finely. The road she has al
ready to connect her with the Ohio, and
those now in progress, the completion Of
which must have highly beneficial effect on
the interests of Vincennes, are destined We
think, to give her q prominence for which
she might vainly have hoped without the aid
of such improvements. Vincennes has the
fortune to be most advantageously located on
the Wabash river. Situated on high table
Of land, secure from overflow, yet richer in
soil than the best bottom lands on the Ohio,
with every advantage of climate and position,
she only requires the aid of public improve
ments, to realize destiny equal to the fond
est wishes of her people.
A few years ago, the jealousy OF her ,citi-
zens OF more enterprising neighbors, blinded
them to the true interests of their own boz
rough. But now their eyes are opened 10 4
moro liberal policy. They have discovered
that in public asin private life, action must be

regimen, Vncennes has started into life
Her advantages are brought into the market
Of general progress, and the great public eye
has been turned toward her. Instead of now
ridiculing the pretensions of others, she sub
mits pretensons of her own to which none
can deny practical value. Distinct and
prominent points court connection with her,
and she meets them with open arms. The
"march Of progress 10 through Vincennes,
and she begins to feel it in all the veins of her
life. Property is rapidly increasing in v ,lue,
business is assuming new vigor, and her
citizens are acting with energy and enthusi.
asm for the general prosperity. This is as it
should be. Vincennes has no neighbors to
regret her advancement-no enemies to
throw obstacles in her way. We all wish
her the very fullness of prosperity.

Restgnation Of Covernor Marcy.

The N ational Democrat treats the report,
put in circulation by the "Softs" that Gov.
Marcy would soon resign his seat in the Cab
met in the following humorous style:
One of the numerous frauds which the
"sofs" have started in this State for the pur.
pose Of pacifying the National Democrats,
and rendering them more amiable towards
Governor Marcy and his friends, is rumor
that he will seek the earliest opportunity to
resign his place in the Cabinet. They assure
us that he has been "overruled in almost ev.
erything," that he is "dsgusted," and that he
"longs to be out Of it," Indeed, il we were
to believe this silly faIsehood. we should
think that the Governor was about to Jump
out Of the window of the Cabinet as violent
ly a. Friar Boniface leaped from Dame Jae.
queline's chamber-as described by our friend,
Thomas Campbell, Esq:
"Who being by nature more designed
For resting tn u for jumping,
Fell heavy on his parts behind,
Nat eroadened IN the pumping"
Wo really hope that no dssgreeable acct.
dent of this kind will happen to Governor
Marcy when he leaps from the windows of
the Cabinet; but his friends must certainly
moderate their descriptions Of his unappeasa.
Bile deslre TO be out OF il, or we shall be led
to suffer great anxiety on his account.
