Z. 4 U. CANAL.-In relation to the change
effected in the management OF this canal the
National intelligencer states that it was charged
that under the late direction favoIitism was
extended 10 certain shippers, that there had
been extravaganza in the expenditures, eSpcs-
clally about Cumberland, and that there was
an Overshadowing influence exercised by the
Baltimore aud Ohio Railroad Company which
has prevented that fair operating Of the canal
which otherwise would cause vast aug
mentation of the amount OF coal brought to its
terminus. Gov. Bowie, it is said, actively in
tervened in the matter and it is alleged on tho
behalf of tho new president and directors, aided
by Governor Bowie, that tho undue Influence
OF the b. Il o. monopoly will hereafter be re-
pressed. The canal is the true artery for cheap
transit of coal to tide water, and hence our
people are deeply interested in whatever re-
lates to its affairs. In addition to the above
the idea is thrown out, that dividend may
b. given to the bondholderS this year MIR.
Gordon, the new President of the Canal Com
pany, is member of the bar of Al'egany
county, Md, and is said to be an active, in
tclligent, business man.

will, therefore, by united and determined &C.

objection has been made to this course, hereto
fore, lest it might be considered a. endorsing
the previous political course OF that gentleman.
No such objection can now be made. Besides,
under the circumstances, Mr.. Mex. advocates
a conservative course to be pursued towards the
people and State OF Virginia. His opponent
is the candidate Of the ultra Radical party, and
is himself an ultra Radical. 1t is tho duty OF
every Conservative in the District, to make his
choice between the two, and cndcav0r to secure
tbc election of the one who avows inchuatiOnS
and feelings in accordance with tho wishes and
interests OF our people, and to defeat ono OF thc

We have no doubt but that this duty will be
