Th‘report suggests that “bv the doubling of the lock, more lock-tenders will be requited;” and he number ol the houses for their accommoda ion being, at present, but 65, a n mber exceed in • very little that of half the locks, indicates that two or more locks have been frequently com billed in their construction, and placed under •hecare of a single attendant.

Frmu these views of the progress of the Schuylkill Company, and the comparison or the uses of the Anthracite and Bituminous Coal, 1 think it may be considered very moderate to as sume that, in the course of lhe second yearglter the completion ofthe C inal (if not the fiist) that the tonnage of the Chesa peake and Ohio C anal will reach one half the amount of that of the Schuylkill. Assuming this as the basis ofthe calculation, and that the Canal will cost $$6.000,000 when fin ished to Cumberland it can be made apparent that the receipts of our Canal will then be equal to four per cent upon its cost; and, an increase of its tolls, at a ratio far below that of the Schuylkill in its infancy, will soon produce a sum that will reach the limits of the dividend which the charter allows, viz. fifteen per cent. A. t_ - [communicated.] Mr. Snowden:—I see by the papers there is pretty considerable of a scrimmage between the School masters in Washington; and 1 see one chap in the lute ligencer of Thursday lays it on like a whaler to one of our Alexandria Latin teachers and to the Washington Arithmetic teachers at the same time. I remember our old Connecticut schoolmas ! ter Zerubbahel Haystack, used to keep two questions ready pickled and preserved for the use-use of such rambling teachers as called our wav—the one. for the mathematicians, was, * What is the exact distance, by solar or linear measure, between the first day of April and the east foot of Hartford Bridge?’—and the Other. t«»r the classics, was, 4 Saeerdos nuns erat sep t**m qui porcos hubebat?* And I remember, al - so, he used generally to add, ‘ Them as can t turn that into Hexameter verse don’t know no hina • Salmagundi. t *’ --— Party Dicipunr —Mr. V an Bureirs system ot Tegufar nominations is utterly at variance with republican principles. Their operation is to enable a minority, through caucus operations, to defeat the majority—than which no position can be more decidedly anti republican. The success of the Tory party in this state have been doubtless owing more to the action of this sys tem than to any other cause, for the last thirteen years. A baser, mote degrading, or more dis honest principle cannot be introduced among Us. ft |S n,,t only at war with republicanism, but it saps the foundation of public morals. . In evidence of this we quote the following disclaim er, written on the back of a Tory Assembly ticket, which was deposited in the ballot-box of the eighth ward poll, during the late election;— ‘‘In voting this ticket entire. I support the in valuable principle of regular nominations. The dullness of Ringgold, the federalism of Roose velt, the questionable honesty of VY etmore, the vanity and entire want of talent on the part of » Rice, I do not support.” Here we see a poor slave to party discipline prostituting the right of suffrage, and violating ■ bis duty, not to say his oath, bv voting against bis conscience for men whom he disapproves, for one man whom he designates as “ dull”—for another stigmatized as a federalist; for a third ftfquestionable honesty; anil a fourth whom he describes to be a -—? These men he says "I lo not support”—and yet he votes for them! Although he evidently smarted under the com punctious visitings, yet he had not me courage to burst the collar and act the part of an honest uian and independent citizen. What he nas an onymously avowed, thousands of others have *^'t| and in this instance of a profligate surren der of his duty to his country at the shrine of par ty discipline, we have a proof of the tendency of tb<* Van Buren policy in bold relief.— .V.
