ir Proby Cautley, engineer. The canal in England joining the Trent and the Witham was made A. D. 1134, in the reign of Henry I. The Bridgewater Canal commenced in 1759. In England there are 2,800 miles of canals. Of the American canals : — The James River and Kanawha, 147 miles long, overcomes the greatest grade, having a lift of 1,916 feet. The Morris and Essex, 101 miles long, overcomes a grade of 1,674 feet, accomplished by 29 locks and 22 inclined planes. The Erie, by DeWitt Clinton, is the longest, 363 miles, with 84 locks. The Erie Canal was commenced in 1817, and completed in 1825. The main line leading from Albany, on the Hudson, to Buffalo, on Lake Erie, measures 363 miles in length, and cost about $7,200,000. The Champlain, Oswego, Chemung, Cayuga, and Crooked Lake Canals, and some others, join the main line, and, including these branch canals, it measures 543 miles in length, and cost upwards of $11,500,000. This canal was originally 40 feet in breadth at

Fearon, Darby, and Faux came to study conditions for emigrants. Bernard, Tyrone Power, and Fanny Kemble were actors. Wilson, Nuttall, and Audubon were professed ornithologists; the Bartrams and Michaux, botanists. Schoolcraft was an ethnologist, Chevalier a student of political economy, Fanny Wright a social reformer. Grund, Combe the phrenologist, and Miss Martineau had a special interest in humanitarian projects. Richard Weston was a bookseller, John M. Peck a Baptist missionary, DeWitt Clinton, who explored the route of the future Erie Canal, a statesman. Many others had eyes trained in surveying. Boone was a surveyor, like Washington himself-and Washington may be classed with the observers and diarists. Buckingham, a traveller by vocation, had journeyed about the world for thirty years before visiting America; nor did he feel his obligation ended when he had published the customary three stout volumes. Crevecoeur actually was a farmer, though he was more, and Richard Park

d the Ohio voted for the declaration. Not only was the war to be a party measure, but it was also sectional. This statement is fully sustained by the facts and by the testimony of nearly every historian who has written on the subject. Public sentiment is further illustrated in the presidential election which followed just after the declaration, and after an exciting and bitter canvass, resulting in the following electoral vote of 1812: President.Vice-President.

ir midst a large servile population, to throw off the political dominion of the most powerful empire of the world. But there were others who thought differently, and resolved, at any rate, that they would Try. Only by encouraging a similar spirit, can we ever hope to shake off our commercial vassalage, and fulfill the destiny which nature seems to have marked out in the magnificent harbor of Norfolk, and the mighty streams which pour their waters into Chesapeake Bay. It was by such a spirit that New York itself was built up from an inferior commercial position, and, in great measure, by the genius and energy of one man, Dewitt Clinton, who against her own absurd prejudices and stubborn opposition, succeeded at last in dragging her by the sheer force of his superior sagacity and will, into the construction of the New York and Erie Canal, and made her rich and great in spite of herself. Would that Virginia could see her destiny; that she could believe in herself and in her fortunes!

genius has Seward ever shown, except for destroying, for pulling down, for crippling national resources, for diminishing the strength and eclipsing the glory of his native land ? Wm. H. Seward is now sixty years old, and more than half of his life has been spent in the public service, beginning with his election to the New York Senate in 1830, and including his career in the United States Senate, which began in 1849. What great and beneficent public measure did he ever originate ? DeWitt Clinton left a record behind him; Calhoun, Clay and Webster were giants, and recognized as such, although they never stood on the Alpine heights of the Presidency. But what has Seward ever said or ever done that shows the sagacious, comprehensive and controlling grasp of a real statesman ? He is simply a cultivated, classic and cunning demagogue. He can make speeches as elaborate and artistical as those of Edward Everett, and he can work the wires of party with all the adroitness and subtlety

of its selfish ends. The anti-slavery sentiment of Europe and the North affords a tremendous leverage for the purposes of depraved politicians, and they will never cease to avail themselves of it till selfishness ceases to exist in their own breasts, and fanaticism in the hearts of their victims. We may exclaim, "Oh, for a statesman!" but if we had one, he could not be elected to the House of Representatives or the Senate from a single non-slaveholding State. Were Alex. Hamilton, DeWitt Clinton, or Daniel D. Tompkins, now alive, they could not be elected to the Senate of the United States from the State of New York, which is the most liberal State in the Union. Not a single Northern statesman, from the earliest history of the colonies, down to a period of fifteen years ago, if they could all reappear upon earth, could be elected now to the Senate or House of Representatives of the United States, for not one of them held the opinions in regard to slavery which are now essential
