Try, that compromise would have been deman-

that the strife would probably have been ended

while the people are looking silently on, and
wondering what the Administration will do

Speech OF DR.. Myers.

We publish in this issue the very able speech
Of Dr.. MYERs, Of Glermont county, on tho ques-
tion of the lease or sale of the Public Works.
The factl which he presents will attract the
public attention, and the reasons which be Of
fers for divorce ofthe State from the manage
ment Of the canals, cannot be successfully an
swered By the investigation and thought
which the member from Clermont has given to
the subject, aud the strong and intelligent man
ner 10 which he has expressed himself 10 his
speech, the public interest has been subserved,
aud the people put 10 possession Of valuable
information connected with their interests.
We heartily agree with Dr.. MYERs In the
opinion that the time has come when, by some
change or reform 10 the management of the
Canals. the people should be relieved from the
burden of further maintaining and keeping them
up, but we doubt the propriety Of a sale Of these
works at this time. Wethink the measure to
lease them, which has passed the House, II it
shall pass the Senate, will work out salutary
reform and redeem this immense property from
the decay and destruction to which Il is rapidly
tending eitn't q. ~,
Should nothing be done, however, and the
canals be left to be managed hereafter as they
have been for the past FIVE years, the people
will rise in their might and demand that the
policy by DR.. MYERs be at once adopted.
Those members residing inthe canal counties
who are opposed to the sale Of the canals, and
who have been strenuous for the continuance Of
State management" II they would avoid that
whieh they profess to be so hostile to-the sale
Of the capals-vould do well to unite iu the
support OF the bill 60 lease these Works. as the
only means left TO prevent their sale Or ultimate
abandonment,

W A .journeyman printer, In the Office
lof the Albany Statesman, has made an IN
strument which he calls, for want of a better
name, perhaps, "piano." II is suggestive Of,
and made with pins tis as simple thing as
II is possible for compositor to make, being
formed Of pins stuck Into strip Of pine about
two or threefeet long The pins werc cut into
various lengths previous or subsequent to their
insertion, and ranged into q lino 60 as to be
readily operated upon. Music ia produced by
striking each of the pins sharply with 'anoth
err" pin, thus emitting quite melodious souDds.
This instrument issby no means new inyen
tlon. as any one may discover by examining The
interior Of o musical box,
