These are a few of the many induce

A Resolution wie lately introduced In the Ala

nn«v a Committee to memorialize Congress to
permit tb it State to cede to Tennessee her seven

debate, and was finally lost by a majority of two
votes only—ayes 25; woes 27.
Would, that 3 similar resolution could be intro
duced in our H. of Delegates, for the cession of
Ohio and Brooke counties to any other State in J
li»c Union. We are confident that if the sense of the
voter* ef those counties were taken, there would j
he but slight, if any opposition to such a transfer |
The greatest d fScuky with the people would be, j
to which state we should he united. Were w* to
be ceded to Pennsylvania, she would in all proba- j
bility consider us, as Virginia prujjtr h as hereto- j
fore considered all the couulh-s west of the
Allegheny mountains—‘ battirds and not sons.”
1 Ohio would no douht willingly receive and
cherish us- but the preference of the peoole of
this county would he in favour of Maryland. To
this, the chief objection Would be, the bocal inter-:
i vantivn wt the *tate of PeiWHyivarua- But inaei*

I ginia, as she would still he auffi :ieutlv f r
divisibility into two or mure «*atep, *!u cid inn*
be *ush necessity; but on the contrary, to ua, lbs ,

Th* Old Virginia politician could not clo.e hi

THE CONVENTION BILL.
The Convention Bill, the Richmond Er.- (
quircr says, “is yet under advisement in j
the Senate, hut that the proposition of the
House of Delegates, for dispensing with]
the Evtra Summer Session of the Legisla
ture, is ex|»ected to prevail. fI he great
majority of votes in lavorof the amended
! Constitution, seems likely to be so great,
as to render it unnecessary for the Legisla
ture to meet aud scrutinise the polls— By
dispensing with the Entra Session, the
Commonwealth may save 10 or $30,000.

Mr. YTan Buren’s part of the following
correspondence, is a good specimen of the
ease with which he avoids eoww/f/zrtg him
self upon controverted points. The letter
from the Glass Manufacturers makes two
explicit references to the policy of protect
ing American Industry; but Mr. Van Bo
ren, in his answer, keeps at a distance from
that subject.

Hon Martin Van Bi ren:
Sir—IVe have taken the liberty this
morning of informing you. that we have
to-day shipped by the canal line, a pack

cut glass, which, we flatter ourselves, is

mestic. We avail ourselves of this oppoi

ference to protect American eaterpriseand

both public and private, we beg v#u to ac

Jidvantagts of St. Loui*.— V corres
pondent of the St. Louis deacon, institutes
a comparison between that and the other
two loadi ng inland cities of the wost, Louis
ville and Cincinnati. Without deciding
this point, we state some of the particulars
he nns mentioned, whi.-li arc interesting as
lisplaving the circumstances and extend
ing relations oi t iat part ot .he country
generally.
tSt. L>;ds is hearer than ’ha other to vhs
to th? centre of the Mississippi vailey, m !
to the conlluetico of all Ps grr.at riv«rs and
is more, nearly equidistant from tiie Cull
of Mexico and the northern lakns. In its
particular topography, it has tho same ad
vaiitrtge as iu its geographical position.
In its *»-dura! * is i» a convex shor* <*t soiid
limestone rock, higher than the highest
water ijn*’k, yet not t.x> high for essy
ascent. The river, whicti is tnero a rmit?
wide, rises and t ills about 20 feel, while
the Ohio at Louisville an 1 Cincinnati rises
and fills about 60 fe.it perpendicular.
Uuildmgs may be erected therefore, and
business transacted at »5t. Louis nearer to
low water-mark. The town site is c ea
posed <>f two successive gentle ascents,
with another tor 2 miles iu the rear, arid
nlW tli it, a chari and elevated country
eminently beautiful for country houses,
gradens and vineyards. The building
material is the limestone which is exenva
ted for the foundation of the house*, the
sand of the river, and lime found ou the
sopt. Lumber is not so cheap, but will
eventually become so from the supples from
uoove.
Tiie rxtent of navigation may be com
puted «{ thirty txousand miles, indepen
dently of the lakes, with which tiie upper
navigation lias even now a natural com
munication. This navigation extends up
flic Mississippi «* thousand mil j, to the
fills of 5*1. Anthony, and expand* through
the various tributaries to the right and to
the left. While the lilinoi** and Oui&onsin
communicate with the great lakes, the St.
Peters is connected with those of the north,
which pauses through L ike Winnipeg to
Hudson’s Bay. The Missouri, which
puns tiie Mississippi 14 miles above St.
Lairs. presents 2 575 miles of uninterrup
ted navigation to its fills, besides the vast
navigation of its tributaries. Altogether.
St. L'*uis muy be said to be the centre ot
50,000 miles of navigation, this too, is
more permanent than that which is posses
sed by the two towns above, and the con
,• ;nt arrival of vessels from all these
points b ‘gins already to display the extent
ot the advantages described. This town

The neighbourhood trade has made thi*

The wholesale trade extends its operation*
over tiie principal parts of Missouri and
Illinois, the mines on the upper Miastesip*
IM< Ouisconsin, dt. Peters, on the Missouri
m all the fur trading establishments on the
neud of the Mississippi to the iiesd of the
Missouri, to the Rocky Mountains, to the
waters of the Oregon, and to ail the Mexi
can territory north of the latitude of
Durango. As a place of wholesale trade

i mand the beef and pork trade to New
Orleans from having a constant naviga
11ion. Land as rich as the Delta ot the
; Nilo may be had in the American Bottom,
opposite St. Louis, for $2 an acre. The
beauty and salubrity of the site may proba
bly likewise from the ease of communica
tion, render it a resort for the planters ot
New Orleans and the lower Mississippi.
