CART. S1MrsoN.-A correspondent, writing

In returning home l was

great country, that her citizens possess ener-

serving of all praise for the able and efficient
manner he discharges his duties. have trav-
eled over goodly portion of your Territory,
and in almost every direction have seen par
ties at work upon public roads under his super
vision. His success no doubt is in great
measure attributable to his selection of persons
to whom he lets contracts, for where labor is
scarce, as it must be of necessity, in country
just settling like this is, with rapidity almost
without parallel, and the consequent high
price Of provisions as well as labor, the success
with which he meets and accomplshes so much
can be accounted for in no other way. 1t were
well for the people Of this country did all their
servants possess the same discrimination.

The RIGHT VIsw.-The London Globe, speak
ing of the augmentation of the English feet at the
West Indias, remarks:
cit is against these less ambitious enterprises,
1.-THE fllibuster and not against America, that our
increased squadron is directed. We shall un-
doubtedly use our strong hand to put them down,
but when We do so, it is the misguided people
who embark in them, and not the American nation,
that will have cause of dissatisfaction. For what
we are doing, VIC should cheerfolly submit to the
verdict of the thinking portion of the American
community, who, we feel sure, would be as re-
luctant as ourselves that any trumped- up pretext
shonld be allowed to peril the alliance between
us, which mutual respect and mutual interest
should make one of the frmest in the records of
tistory.''
