mitted‘to by a free and enlightened people,
who know their rights and have the will to do-
fcntl them '3’ Never! The canals of New
York are the sole property of the state; con-
structed by its oivii energies, and paid for with
its own money. The bashaw of Tripoli has
as mncli right to place one of his long-bearded
subjects to demand tribute money from the
citizens ofNew York navigating I/zeir own ar-
tificial waters, as the Vifashingtori adiuiuisira-
tiouliavc to demand tonnage duty, and en-
trance, and clearance fees ofour canal boats.
What right, we ask, in the name of all that is
h'onest—what pretence do the general Gov-
ernment set up for ordering their agents to
demand this tribute money? By what au-
thority do they come here and undertake to
’ claim a revenue from a great state work after
having refused to give a cent towards its
coniplction? ~'
If we submit to this interference ofthe gen-
eralgovernment in our intcmal affairs, and
tamely relinquish the right to regulate the
colic‘-erns of this great work. this state proper-
ty,which has cost us so many millions, we may
find it but a prelude to still more unjustifiable
measures, and learn too late, that our State
sovereignty has been swallowed up by the u-
viershadowing power ofthe general gov’t.
Congress continue but a few days longer in
session, but there is yet time, and we trust our
Senators and Representatives will not fail to
improve it, in procuring an explicit declara-
lion ofthe gov’t. on this subject. .
zlmporlation of Slaves prohibited in Louis-
€ana.—At the late session of the L89,lSlalll!’e
.7l'Loiiisiana, an act was passed prohibiting
the further introduction of slaves into that
state for ‘sale. The first section ofthe act de-
clares that no person shall, after the first day
of‘Jt‘inc, 1826, bring into the state any slave,
with the intent to sell or hire the same, under
the -penalty of being punished by imprison-
n'icnt not exceeding two years, and fined not
ciscecding one thousand dollars, and iiioreo
ver shall forfeit the said slave or slaves.
This law will do more to hasten the aboli-
tion ofslavery in the United States than any
measure which has yet been adopted. It is
well known that in many parts of Virginia $1.
Maryland slave labor has for along time been
unprofitable; and the value of this species of
property has been maintained merely by the
_pri'c‘é ‘which it has coninia'nded in the States
farther south. The Virginians have raised
s‘la've‘s for a market, as northern farmers have
raised cattle, and thousands of these poor
cre‘at'ures have been shipped or driven every
year from the place of their nativity, to be
sold in New Orleans and other southern cit-
-ies. The law above referred to ptits an end
to this traffic so far as Louisiana is concern-
ed, and ifAlabama, Georgia and S. Carolina
‘should imitate her example, the. planners in
the northern slave holding states would be
driven to the necessity either of abandoning
the country to the blacks, or of adopting effi-
cient measures for removing them to Africa.
As it is, being excluded from New Orleans,
tlieirpriucipal market, the Virginians have
stronger motives than they ever had before,
for aiding the Colonization Society and we
c~on'fidently expect that the law of Louisiana
nill give a new spring to this Institution.- Obs.
Vile mentioned yesterday, the particulars of
the schooner Decatur, from Baltimore for N.
Orleans, being fallen in with at sea with
slaves on board, by the brig Roolte, having as
was allcdged lost overboard the captain and
mate. ’I‘heDecatur arrived here yesterday,
"in charge ofMr. Galilee, End mate of the
Rooke, who informs that he had no difficulty
with the men on board.-Statesman.
The vessel was lying at one of the wharves
yesterday afternoon, with the crew; on board.
We understand that the blacks who were
-taken out ofthe schr. Decatur, and bro’t into
th-’i.s.port by captain Atwood,ofthe brig Rook,
were set at liberty on Thursday nior-iing.—
The crew ofthe Decatur have since been ex
amined, and swear that captain Galloway, 8.’.
his mate were murdered by the blacks.
Those ofthe slaves taken offoftlie Decatur
by the ship Constitiiiion, (two men, 8 women
and 7 children,) and two ofthe crew, have ar-
-rived at Boston, The latter state, that ‘ while
the captain was forward, astride the rail, scra-
pingsome mud off the aiicliorstock, he was
seizedby the leg, by two of the blacks, and
pitched overboard: our informant being. on
the foreyard at the time, one ofthe crew at
the helm, the mate and two men below—tlie
mate hearing a noise, rushed on deck, ap-
proached the rail, was seized by three of the
blacks, and thrown overboard--tlie crew at-
‘tempted to lower the boat and to alter the
helm, but were prevented by the blacks from
doing either. After this they tried to avoid
every vcssel.’——Mcrc. fld-v.
Fire on the mounluz'ns.——-'i7or several days
past the atmosphere has been rendered dense
and hazy by smoke, proceeding, as it has been
supposed, from extensive fires in the woods of
New Jersey. The Vtlestchestcr Herald, rec’d
this‘ morning, states that a “destructive and
wide spreading conflagration has been raging
since Thursday last, in the elevated forests
situated some distance north of Haverstraiv,
and supposed to be what is called the Haver-
straw mountains. The extent ofthe fire can
not be accurately ascertained at present, but
it has sp_read apparently several miles: nor is
it yet known hoiv it originated.” The Times
likewise states,_upon the authority (ofa gen-
tleman who came down the Hudson last eve-
ning in a steam boat that the woods on the
on lire for several days past. and on account
ofthe excessive dryness ofthe weather, conti-
nued to burn with great fury. On Friday last
the danger ofthe Pine Orchard house was so
great, that stages were taken from the line at
Catskill to send out men, to rescue it froui
rzriiitlagratitin. Great fires were seen the night
before last in the ncigliborliood ofFort Mom-
gomery creek, opposite .-\nthony’s Nose, and
ilicatiiiosplicrc was ’fillcd with smoke.

Letters were received at New Haven last
week stating that the President had nomina-
ted the Hon. Judge Bristol to the Senate of
the United States as Judge of the District
Court for the District of Connecticut.
By our legislative journal it will be seen
thatthc house has made choice ofthe. Hon.
Samuel A. Foot as Senator of the United
States, in place oflil r. Euwards, whose term
ofservice expires on the 4th of March, 1827.
Mr.Randolph left this country for England
on Saturday,having obtaiiicd leave ofabseuce
fr. the Senate for the rest ofthe session. One
of his last acts in that body wasa controversy
with Messrs. Holmes, of Maine, and Lloyd, of
Massachusetts, which is represented to have
exceeded in violence any of the turbulent
scenes ‘by which the Senate has been disgra-
ced during the present storuiy and worse than
useless session. In our next we may give
some account of what passed on this occasion.
Mi-nt of the United Slates.—Of the Gold
coinage of the mint during the last year, sev-
enteen thousand dollars was from the product
ofthe Gold mines of N. Carolina.
The lottery renders, in the city of N. York
have had a tneeiing, and resolved to aid in
the disposal of the Jcffersoii tickets without
fee or reward for their services.
Look Out .'—The New Hampshire Patriot
says, that they are requested to state, that the
charter ofthe Concord, N. H. Bank, (Samuel
Sparhawk,Caslner,)ivilI expire by its own lini-
itation on the 1st day of July next,; and that
all the bills of said bank which are not presen-
ted tbr payment on or before that time will be
lost to the holders.
Farinington Canal.-——A meeting of the
stockholders ofthis Canal was held at Morse’s
hotel, in this city,_on Monday, the 8th inst.
when it was unanimously voted to unite the
nnerest of this couipany with that of the
Hampshire and Hainden Canal Co. and that
James Hulhouse, Simeon Baldwin, and Bur-
rzigi-. Beach, Esqrs. be a committee to carry
said vote into elfect.—-.i\/‘cw Haven Herald.
Chesapeake and Ohio Ca7ial.——Froin good
authority, the editor of the American Farmer
lately understood, in Washington, that the es-
timate for the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal,
would be about $392,000,000; $8,000,000 to
the eastern base of ilie mountain ; about 18
or 20 million to its western base,and 4 million
to navigable western waters. There must be
a tunnel through the mountain of4 miles in
length, with which shafts of800 ft. in depth,
will communicate at distances of 180 yards.
Yesterday afternoon as a Portuguese ship
was about weighing anchor at her moorings
near Brooklyn, to prepare for sea, one of the
sailors watched an opportunity, stripped him-
sclf,jumped overboard, and swam toward the
city. Two boats put on‘ to bring him back,
butsuch was his skill in swininiing, that he
entirely outstripped his }.‘lll‘Sl|et'S, laughing at,
and deriding their attempts to catch him. He
landed near New Slip, and made his escape,
after having swam more than a mile against
the current of the East Rivcr.——./im.
Advices from Chagres to the 26th ult. state
that the Congress of Panama had not. yet
been organized. Much interest was felt to
know whether the Utiited States would send
D cputies there.
The Rev. Mr.Sprague, of West Springfield,
Ms. has received a call from the Cedar street
Church in New York City.
Road from Washington to Bu flalo.-—A pe-
tition signed by iorty-one members of Con
grcss, has been addressed to the Secretary of
War, asking for the survey and estimate ofthe
route for a Road from Buffalo to Washington
City by the way of Bellefont and Carlisle in
Pennsylvania, 8:. W cstininster, Md. by which
the distance fm. the present mail route would
be lessened one hundred and fifty miles. The
petitioners state, that the construction of such
.. Road would facilitate the intercourse be-
tween the Western Lakes, the Capital and the
navigable waters ofthe Ocean. The commii-
nication, in a military, commercial, business.
and political point of view, would more than
compensate the nation for the expenditure.-—
it would, also, operate as a powerful lever to
remove Northern and Sotliern prejudices,and
have a tendency to amalgamate the interests
ofthis rising empire.
To this petition, the Secretary has replied,
that it will be respectfully considered ; but a
positive answer upon the subject ofit cannot
be given before the close of the present session
of Congress, when the extent ofthe means at
the disposal of the Depariinent will be ascer
mined, and a proper application uiadc oftheni
to the various objects claiming its attention,
in the order of their relative national import-
ance.-—.Merc. fldv.
Tomb of Washingloii.——It is rumored, that
a party. consisting ofabout thirty members of
Congress, of both Houses, wishing to visit the
toiiili of W.'isliiii9,ton, hired the steam boat
‘ Enterprise,’ and proceeded in her to Motiiit
Vernon, on the 4th inst. After the boat had
gone some distance, and before they reached
Mount Vernon, it was stated to them by the
captain, that Judge Wasliiugton, the proprie-
tor of the place. had forbid persons from land-
ing from onboard of a steam boat, at Mount
Vernon. The gentlemen thinking that a re-
fusal could not be given, appointed a comm.
consisting of three 01 their body, to wait upon
Judge ‘tVasliington, and ask the permission
ofliiin, of paying their respects to the seat. of
the deceased Father oftheir Independence.-
This was done in the most polite and respect-
ful manner by the committee, who went on
shore for the purpose, the other gentlemen rc-
mainiug on board the steam boat. The per-
mission was refused, and it is said, the Coni-
inittee was not treated with coimnon polite-
ncss, and the refusal was accompanied by
threats ofinstituting suits, Esnc. Is it possible
that the report is true? Ifso, ought it not to
be a good reason why Congress ought to re-
move the remains of VVashington, fr. a place
to which his grateful comitrymcn cannot go to
perform that pilgrimage which will beinade
as long as gratitude is a virtue or love of couii
try warms the bosom of anAmerican. For the
honor ofthe name of “ Wasliington,” we can
scarcely believe the report, and yet,it comes
from such authority we cannot doubt it.
