the division Of the State, as ordered by an
ordinance of the last Convention, came off

from the interior, so far as received, show
a still greater unanimity for it. Thirty
nine counties are included in the new
State. Messr. Lamb, Paxton and Battele,
are elected delegates from this county to
the convention which meets on the 26th of
November, to form Constitution. IFS

We have received the q Views of Abner
L. Baclus, President OF the Board of Public
Works, relative to the sale, or keeping in
force the present system of repairs of the
States interest in her Public Works sa,
Mr.. Baclus concludes that it is evident
from the experience of the past nine nears,
that, under State control tbe canals of Ohio
cannot retain their business nor even an
equitable share of it, wherever they coms
ia competition with railroads, but that
they must continue heavy and increasing
charge upon the treasury; not because canals
cannot compete With railroads in carrying
agricultural products, and other heavy freight
but chiefly because by State management
they are placed at a disadvantage. fzIE
he thinks a change Of management indiS-
pensable to rescue the canals from actual ab1n-
doHmsnt and that this can only be obtained
through the economy, energy, and business
skill which private interest would introduce.
In private hands be thinks tie canals could
be made to produce valuable revenue. be
is,of The opinion that an unconditional sale
would be better for the State than to lease
them for q term of years, and offers numerous
reasons in support Of this view.
According to Mr.. Backus, the expenditures
for the repairs Of the canals in the fiscal years
1856, 1857, 1858, 1859 and 1860, exceed the
revenues to the amount of four hundred and
nineteen Thousand, four hundred and ytortg-Ons
dollars and t5slUs csnts, which sum has been
drawn from the ta1- payers of the State. Mr..
B. intimates that the reasons offered by the
InA-z g. ~ = siIhEVl tIr t5s aIHUlEi Te-
ports, for this excess Of expenditure over the
receipts, have not been the true ones, and he
does not anticipate any better showing here
after, if the State continues its present man
agement Of the Public Works.

At a large meeting held at Cincinnati on
Monday last, Hon. Geo. E. Pugh made a
speech, of which the Commercial says: asr
TsiMr. Pugh's speech was more remarkable
for its omissions than for any positive quali-
ties. He assumed to be candid, and yet had
not a word tosay OF the imbecile and treach-
erous Administration, which has contributed
so much to the perils in which the country
fnds itself involved. He displayed the most
minute knowledge Of the partizan legislation
Of Northern States and seemed tos be pro-
feandly ignorant of the Odious features ofthe
fugitive slave law which provoked the very
legislation he condemned; and he had no
distinct word of disspprobatiOn for the out
RACES upon the persons Of respectable North
ern citizens in the South, which so infame
Northern sentiment, and add SO largely to
the difficulties in the way of making reason
able concessions he admitted that South
Carolina had done "wrong, but he drew the
indictment in that case ih very soft and gen.
eral terms He drew startling picture of
the desolation that would follow coercion Of
the enemies of the Union, but had apparent
Nv no idea of any difficulties to be appre-
hended from submission to the Secession fac
ton. He prophecied the passage of the
plouehshare over the ruins Of Cincinnati,
provided the dissolution of the Union was
resisted with the sword-but his imagination
was void and imperative as to the ruin that
would follow, if we were to allow ourselves
to be deprived Of the blessings Of the Union,
without 8 struggle for their preservation
He confessed the sins Of the Democratic par
ty, in the repeal of the Missouri Compromise,
and reminded ms, with touching pathos of
the sufferings of the party. 1t had sinned,
and It had been punished. Aud the remedy
proposed for all that evil in the political con-
dition Of the country, is Mr.. Crittenden's
amendments 70 the Constitution"
The Gazette says
awe do not suppose Mr.. Pugh ever made a
feebler or more sophistical speech in his Hies
When, in the course Of his strange address
he spoke Of third rate pettifoggers, we cannot
forget that large portion Of bis audience
were prepared to say. II thank thee for that
word.4T In bis euiogies on the Crittenden
Compromise, be everywhere treated it as syn
onvmous with restoring the Missouri lire, by
constitutional amendment. He slurred over
the fact that, even on the territorial question,
these two measures of policy differ IN tOtO.-
he ignored the other important features of
Mr.. Crittendenls propositions. BE showed
deliberate purpose Of not letting his auditors
know, if he could prevent it, what those pro-
positions are" st-r-
