the following alluson to the distinguished
Senator from New York-Wm. II. SEWARD:
"In nm age Of overwhelming pesuiaiion
We cannot remember that be Gov. Seward)
has once denounced In the Senate, an act Of
public bribery. In body which sqaauders
more public money corup,y snd wastofully
than any other sixty men In tho public, have
dared 10 do, we do not recollcct that he has
once raised his voice against the Senatorial
asai,ngs, in tho way Of paying members for
services never performed, allowing them
mileage for journeys never made, and throw.
ing bags Of unsavned psbim money at the
heads Of their own scnllions, buying books
right and len, and coroing up all manner Of
improper erpsndaWe, and under false

To some of our readers who are Cana.
dams by birth or other association, this will
be familiar name PAUL KANE is an ar
tist OF merit who was instigated By that ad-
venturous spirit, so common with students
and delineators of nature, to visit the basin
OF the Saskatchewan, and the valleys Of the
Rocky Mountains, in quest Of subjects and
scenes for his pencil. Years passed in the
fascination and devoted pursuit OF his art in
the wlds of British North America /: and
we understand, that wealthy citizen OF
Toronto is in possession OF the most striking
landscapes and portraitures there collected
constituting an attractive gallery. Somuch
for an introduction to an announcement
which we notice in literary journals that
PAUL KANE's great illustrated work on
the Indians of British North America will
soon be published in London. Price
