no little attention. The subject Of nsviga'
ting Canals by steam bias been often discuss
cd. but we believe this is the first attempt
that has ever been made 10 New York. The
result has proved that vessel can be driven
by steam at the rate Of three miles an hour,
without creating Q wave sufficiently large to
wssh the banks. 1t has also proved that
there can be found sufficient room for full
cargo. in addition to that occupied BY the ma

The Richmond Enquirer excuses MIR. Z.

Legislature, in 1881, on the Slavery question
though it acknowledges he was wrong IN
the sentiments sverred-contending that ne
was then but young man-that pubic opin-
ion then demanded a consideration OF the
ouestion-that no abolition party then exist
ed-,hat at that time the wisest and best OF
our Statesmen considered slavery assn evil,
and disastrous to the material progress of the
State, &C., 30. 1t then goes on to contend
that from 1884, Mr.. Faulkner was Jealous
defender OF the rights of shareholders, and
from that time forward, none of his cotempo-
rsries can show clearer record, very few
an equal degree Of effective effort for the de-
fence and security of the institution OF slave
~, and it unbesitatingly gives MIR. +. the
credit of being the originator of the Fugitive
Slave Law. 1t says that "Mr. Mason offered
the fugitive slave bill ia 1850, and thus iden-
titled his name with the measure. MIR. Ma
son deserves all the credit due to 40 Efficient
public servant for able and we'll timed eff1rts
10 behalf of the rights of his State, acting un-
der her Instructions. But an impartial re-
cord points out Charles j. Faulkner as the
real author of the law, who conceived the
plan of it's adoption, and, step by step, SUR
mounted the more serious obstacles IN the
way of its fusl enactment"
We have no comments to make, at this
time, upon this defence aud vindication Of
Mr.. Faulkner, further than to say. it he is to
be excused, 90 ought Mr.. Letcher to be, and
40 ought G. w. Summers to have been.
