The North west aud the south.

There is great deal OF truth in the fol-
lowing from the n. D. Dsiia, relative to the
identity of interests and feeling between the
Northwest and the South
(" The Northwest must ever be bound to the
South by stronger ties Of interest, pursuit, avn.
patty and similarity Of character than it can
ever bear to the old commercial and manuiac.
turing classes Of the East. The proof Of this
proposition will not be fully demonstrated until
the native population Of this section begins to
sway its destinies and control ito sentiments.
A very different race 10 that from the one pre-
csdingit. Very different circumstances, habits
and instit uti0ns have controlled and formed the
mind, tendencies and views Of the new and ma.
tive population Of the Northwest, from those,
which in the old commercial communities gave
that peculiar phase Of character, and imp arted
those obstinate and troublesome preludc.s,
which characterize the emigrants from the old
States HI the North. The native Western man,
the Buckeye. the Hooser, the Sucker, as little
resembles the Yankee pedlar, the Come cut
notion maker, as the stalwart Kentuckian and
Tennessean resembles the Piney Woods North
Carolinian, or the herring fed eastern shore
man. All the tendencies Of this race are in the
same direction az those Of the Southerners
They are agricultural In their pursuits and
tastes. bold and expanded in their views, warm
anu earnest III tneH passions, chvaric and IN
domitable In their energies. They must ever be
from nature and taste, as they are from geo
graphical position and pursuit, the general al
lies Of the South. They are of the Valley of
the Mississippi, " racy Of its soil. " As the
great lakes, the large rivers, and every stream
and rivulet that meanders through this great
valley, all tend in one direction. and seek the
same channel, even SO must the sentiments, the

WASHINGTON, Dec 2l.--Oficial advices
received from Hamburg, state that the
proprietors Of the steamers between Lubec
and St. Petersburgh, have made arrange
ment with those running between Ham,
burg and New York, by which they pro-
pose to establish low rate Of freight, o
direct system of transportation from New
York to st. Petersburg, via Hamburg and
Lubec. The facilities now combing will en-
able them to forward goods from New York
to st. Petersburg every fortnight during
the season that navigation is open, and
the transmit will consume but three weeks OF
time.
1t is also stated that the arrival at Ham
burg, Of the schooner Harvest from San
dusky City, Ohio, caused much surprise and
qualification, and that her cargo Of val.
liable forest wood brought fair price at
auction.

is said to be widely ramifed throughout
the country, comprising already 1000

From the Philadelphia North american
The Effect of Stewards Speech.

Although the results of the election, yester-
day. are very imperfectly reported here, still
the indications are pretty unmistakeable, and
hardly doubt is entertained that the Oppo-
siton have carried the next House of Rep
resentatives by close majority. But for
the damaging effect of Mr.. Stewards speech
just on the eve of the struggle which was
well calculated to excite both indignation
and alarm-the city delegation from New
York, like that in Philadelphia, would have
been radically changed; and there is every
reason to believe this pernicious influence ex-
tended elsewhere, and with like consequences.
1t may be discovered, by and by, that such
agitation will cut like two edged sword
AT all events, if those who inddlge in it, ex-
pect to profit, now or hereafter, they must
first enlarge the sphere of a conversion which

on the strength of ships of war:

with the necessity for a liberal expenditure

Of various methods proposed for enabling
ships of war to resist shot. These expert
ments, he said, were tried upon the side of an
oak built frigate, which was plated with iron
in sections in various ways
In one part was placed sheet of wrought
iron four inches thick. Another part was
covered with iron four inches thick, but COM
