Happening in the Senile Chamber this afternoon, I heard a part of the debate, and the vote postponing to the first of December neit, the bill ibroxtending the Walhonding canal to Mt. Vernon. I felt anxioue for the euccesa of the bill, and waa pleased to hear those In favor of the postponement express themselves friendly to the measure, and give as their only reason for their course, the embarrassed state of the public finances. I acquiesced, although I really thought that neglected pari ot me mate eniiiieu to some 01 me auvama-ges of our tystsm of internal improvements, which had drawn so liberally on the resources of its citizens. Shortly after the vote on postponing the Mount Vernon bill, a question was started respecting the Wsbaah and brie canal, which is located through the new and sparacly settled counties in the northwest part ol the State. The Board have determined to conatruct this canal, or a large portion of it, CO feet wide and 0 feet deep; orot about throe times the capacity of the Ohio canal. A member, a true economist, wished a reference of the subject, to enquire whether It would not bo proper to direct the Board of Publie Works to reduce it to the dimensions of an ordinary canal. Economy appearing to be the ordor of the day, I supposed en inquiry would have been instituted without a dissenting voice. In this I waa mistaken. Two venerable Senntore doctored they hod conversed with some of the members of the Board, who satisfied them that a canal of auch extraordinary dimensions was necessary snd proper. And thereupon the subject was laid upon the table. Whether the professed friends of economy will permit it to sleep there, or call it up and make the reference, remains to be seen. What claima hae the Wabash and Erie canal overothers in the interior and older aettled counties) Why expend millions on it, and refuae the means for constructing necessary works) It may be said that la nda have been appropriated, auth-cient to furnish meana forila conatruction. It ia probable that the availa of the lands appropriated would have been eulTicient for (he conatruction of an ordinary canal from the head of navigation nn the Maumee Bay or River, to the State Imp. As at present located, the estimated cost is about $3,000,000, and the land will not bring more than half that sum. Besides, the Board recommends t losn to carry on the worka part of which, on which it ia intended to expend this borrowed money, lica along aide of a navigable bay or river. Is a question of so much importance to be submitted to the discretion of a few men who are irresponsible to the tax-paying people) And men, too, or some of them ot Icasi, deeply intereated in town lota, whoao value is sought to be increoeed by creating water power in their embryo cities from the surplus water passed through this enormous ditch ) I wish to cast no reflections on the members of the Board. But they are men of like passions with others. They may honestly err, even when wholly disinterested) and interest has a powerful effect upon the judgment. Before the citizens of the old settled snd neglected counties are saddled with a further debt, ought not their representatives to be fully aatialied that the expense about to be incurred ia absolutely necessary to advance the public interests) that a canal of the dimensions proposed ts required for purposes of navigation! and that it hos not been thus increased in size for the purpose of obtaining a surplus quantity of water to advance individual internets? A Heat- Tax-Pater. Columbus, Feb. 12,1838. For lbs Journal and Register. I perceive by the Journal of this morning, that Gen. Hunt has volunteered his services to sustain and shield the Board of Publie Works by wholesale, Irom all mannor of improprieties, corruption, "errors. Ate. not excepted," on the subject of the Wabash and Erie Canal, to which you add a suggestion that the General be examined, alter "kissing the book," before the invcsligstiitgCommittee. This, I think, will be rather a severe process to put the General through, in so much aa it will tend very much to embarraas his fluency. But yet, if the Committee should conclude to do so, I would suggest, in the most delicate manner possible, that they should enquire in l he manner following: What is the sizo of the side cut at ".Milxtt City," of which you sre proprietor) In what manner doca the present location differ from the one pointed out by you on your map of Maumee City, before its location) What ia the depth of water at and for 80 rods below the present termination of the aide cui) What ia the depth to be in the side cut) Hid you previously, in any aalea which you had made, given a bond of indemnity to any person, conditioned that a Ship Canal should be made to a certain point; and it so, slate to whom that bund waa given, the amount oi the penalty, and ita condition 1 Did you, at any time, procure any person In use influence with the Board to iniercst them st Maumee Cily, in property; if so, plesse state the result of their labors) And finallv, whether you have not repeatedly said to persons, by sray of inducement for them to purchase property in Maumee City, that some, or a majority ot the Board, were interested in property ihero) EQUITY.

House or Rstresentativk", February S, 1838. Ml. Dojiuvy, from the Select Committee in ro-. lation to the abduction of a colored woman, made the following Report: The Select Committee to which waa referred the communication of his Excellency the Governor, in relation to the aeizure and detention of Eliza Ann Johnson, resident of Ohio, in the jail of Mason county, Kentucky, Report: That, aa far as thev have been able to obtain the facta in Ihiscaae, they are aa follows: oometime last summer, a colored woman ot the name aforesaid resided with her huaband. a col ored man, in Brown county. In his absence ehe was seized, and by force carried off to Kentucky, by citizena of Mason county, without taking any stepa pointed out and enjoined by law, to prove that the aaid Eliza was the alave of, or owed service to, any person. The seizure was. under pretence, that the woman was the alave of Arthur Fox, High Sheriff of Mason county, whoae son assisted in bearing her off. In justification of the act, it waa alledged that the woman admitted herself lobe the alave of Mr. Fox, and the son of the latter confirmed the alledged admission. Arthur Fox, however, disclaimed any ownership in the woman, ana in Hue etage ol the proceeding, it would seem that even bv the severe laws oft slave State, ehe should have been restored to her husband. But Mr. Fox hod no sooner disavowed any claim to the woman, than it was then pretended she had acknowledged ahe was tbe slave of a Mrs. John of New Orlcana. On the latter alledged confession she waa detained in cuatody, ana afterwards, on writ of habeaa corpus, was remanded to prison, though Neither Mrs. John nor any otner person lor her, pretended to claim her aa a alave. On this euspicion ol being a alave of Mrs. John's, this colored woman must remain in jail, or confinement, under the operation of the laws of Kentucky, fourteen months, unless soon er claimed Dyan owner, (which, it she be tree ae ehe and her friends contend, cannot ever be the case,) and if not claimed at the end of that time, she must be sold into slavery for life to pay the expenses attendant on her iinprieonmeut; and the proceoda of the aale, above auch expenaee, are to be paid into the public Treaaury. Such ia the plain and simple operation of the laws of Kentucky in euch cases. Color being a presumption sgainst freedom, it only requires the affirmation that the person charged ia believed to be a slave, to incarcerate him in prison; and then, unices he prove himfelf to be free, he is to besuld into perpetual slavery to pay the costs of his illegal detention. To prove a men's freedom, where the n re sumption of slavery is predicated upon hia color merely, ia oitentimes almoat impossible. In all other coses, the rule of law ia different. Among all civilized nations, at less!, innocence is presumed, until guilt ia established; and where so important right as a man's liberty fur life, ia at stake, however low may be his condition or black his countenance, it would seem to be but just, that Ireedom should be presumed rather than slavery, when the latter condemns the unhappy subject to a puniahment greater than almost any crime. It ia true that under the laws of Kentucky, a colored person thus charged, may instituei auit to recover his Ireedom, where, perhaps, tho rigor and unroaaonable presumptions arising under the act concerning "runaways," aa colored poraons apprehended under this law are called, would not anae; but topruaecuteauch auit, influence of character, friends and money are necessary. Counsel must be employed fur this purpose, at an expense alwaya beyond the means of the sufferer; and though your Committee know that in many ana most insiancea in that stole, high minded and benevolent individual would not be wanting to aee that the innocent should not, in the end, be subjected to a loss of their liberty, yet a depri vation oi ireeoom lor a longer or auorier penoa muat alwaya ensue, and a measure of suffering be endured sltogeihor inconsistent with the genius of the free institutions of Ohio. Wilh the operations of these laws, asthev affect the people of other Slates, we have nothing to do. Nor would we interfere in the slightest degree with the rights of property recognized by me lews ol theslaveholiliiig states, even in human beings, however averae to our sense of iusticfl and morality, while these lawa operate alone on tne people ol tnoae statee. but when they are brought to bear on free persons under the protection of our lows, by forcibly carrying them, aain the caae of Eliza Johnson, without the limits of Ohio, we cannot but view it aa an imperative duty to use all peaceable meana to wrest from the grasp of laws so inconsistent wilh ourinstitulions, any human being, however humble and whatever may be hia complexion. 1 hat blixa Ann Johnson is a free woman of color. your commitee beliove, ia the logal preaumption, even under a fair construction ol the lawa ol Ken tucky. Having boen carried by force to that Stale from Ohio, by no juat conairuction of the lawa of that Slate could ahe be adjudged a "run-away,1 until tbe fact of hor being a alave was established. This proof, it seems, wss attempted from her confessions. But it is worthy of remark, that when her alledged confeasion that ahe was the slave of Mr. Fox could not be enforced againat her, aa that gentlemen waa too honorable to claim her by title which he knew to be unfounded, then she is msde to confess that ahe waa the alave of Mrs. Johnsof New Orleans. Besides this inconsisten cy of admissions, it is so palpable that an ignorant block woman would not, being the slave ot a lady of New Orleans, know Air. Fox of Mason county, Kentucky, or, being his slave, know Mrs. Johns, of New Orleans, that Hie inference is almoat irresistible, that these confessions were extorted from her, if not entirely fabricated by worthless and dceigning individuate, who expected to be bene- tuieu oy tnia proceeding againat her. The law of the United Slates, if observed, al-forda ample proieciion lo the owners of slaves who may escape Into Ohio. I hey are only re quired lotake them before a judicial officer, and prove their claim to the aatialaction of auch ma-gialrate, and then thry have the aid of all our Slate and Federal lawa lo protect them. But to fiormu ine coioren people oi unto to oa Dome by brce out of this State, without auch proof, or a trial, would be to give Iree license to the kidnap per to carry off, end sell into slovery, sll the froo colored people of this Slate. Fortunately for us, and fortunately fur the cause of humanity, elave- rv connoi exist on me nonn-wesi Blue oi ine unio river and while our Constitution expressly guar antees to sll persons within her jurisdiction Ilia ngnioi enjoying ana deiemling uieir liberty, it le the imperative duly of the Legislature to secure by all proper measures, every individual within their protection, in the enjoyment of that higheat blessing of civil government, personal freedom. Your committee, therefore, recommend the edop-tionof the following preamble and resolution: IVIureat, it is represented to this General As sembly, that Eliza Ann Johnson, a free woman of cotor, wss lately carried by loree, and without le Sal euihurilv, from hor home, in Brown county, hio, into Mason county, Kentucky, on the pretence uf being a slave of Arthur Fox, of aaid coun ty ot Masoni and though the aaid Arthur Fox disclaims any title lo aaid Eliza, ahe ia atill deinincd in confinement, in the jail of aaid county. Therefore,Kcnlrcd, Thnt hia Excellency the Governor, be, and he is hereby requested, to open a correspondence with the Governor of Kentucky, in relation to the illegal ecisuro and furcible removal of said Eliza Ann Johnson, from Brown county, Ohio, to Mason county Kentucky, whore she is detained in prison; and thai he respectfully insist on the restoration of said Eliza Ann Johnson, lo the enjoyment of freedom and friends.

FLOUR. The Baltimore American, of January 31. con. talna an elaborate and very intelligent article on theaubject of flour. Ita object ia to ascertain the actual supply, as near aa may be, with a view to lorm an opinion ol the probable price throughout the aeason. The subject is thus introduced: " For two vears oast our country haa exhibited the unwonted spectacle of beinga large importer of breadstuff's for tho consumption of iis own citizens. Previous to that period, the U. Slates were annually blessed with a superabundance of the staff of life, and were enabled lo supply to a large cztent the wants nf less favored countries. Many nr ... .-.i.. :n n. f ui uui iduudib win uvuuiibsb recollect mat previous to 1830, the importation of a lot of foreign grain of any description was a circumstance of rare occurrence, and waa as such noted in the newspapers of the day. But in the year referred to,a new stale of things suddenly sprung up; for the firm time eince its settlement, this country realized the disaster of a general and absolute failure of its crops, and fur the first time recourse wss had to foreign countries for bread, thus reversing the established order of things, and making ua tniyert, when before, wo had uniformly been niter: In reference to the Wheat crop of 1837, great diversity of opinion haa existed some declaring in round terms its great abundance, and olhera maintaining the position that in the principal wheat growing districts of the Atlantic States, the quantity realized waa but little if any over that of 1836, and that in the country at large, the crop waa undoubtedly ahorr. Our own opinions, or more properly speaking, convictiona on this subject have been given to the publie on several occasions during the paat season, and it may not be amiaa that they should be hero briefly recurred to. The close personal attention devoted to the making up of our weekly Review of the market had for years past brought us into intimate eon-tact wilh the moat intellieent and undoubted sources of information, embracing both buyers aiiu aauiuia, caponing me grain marnoi, i-rum these aa well aa from our own means of information, supplied by an earnest and diainteresled so licitude lor the truth, we were led to express the opinion early last fail, that in all the region of country which usually looks to Baltimore for a market that is, all Maryland, and the adjacent districts of Virginia and Pennsylvania the wheat crop of 1837, was but Utile more in quantity than that of 1836. The quality, howover, waa decidedly better. The opinion then advanced, we are sorry to any, has been too fully verified bv the sub sequent exhaustion of the crop, and by the con current testimony ol Kiclimonil, Alexandria, I'hil-adelphia and Georgetown. The Statea wost of the mountains, we have been uniformly assured, hove realized abundant returna in tlieir crop of 10JI. "Intimately connected with the aubiect of the Wheat crop of 1837, ia that of the stock of Flour existing in the principal maris at the close of the year 1837. On this point, too, varioua opiniona have been enterinined. Those who heretofore held the opinion that the crons were abundant. have taken it for granted that the slocks of Flour should be correspondingly large, and often have we aeen the assertion repented by the public press, that the Wheals had been monopolized by speculstors, who were wickedly keeping up high prices in the midst of abundance. Now, in reference to the stocks of Flour, there need be no difference of opinion, because they can be so precisely ascertained aa not to admit of dispute. Information of this character, by ahowing conclusively what the stocks of Flour were at the close of 1837, will be valuable not only in establishing ine trutn in regard to a mailer, in Hsell, ol such universal importance, but will enable the intelligent reader to form hia own concluaiona aa to the extent of the crop from which these stocks were aerivea." Afier minutely giving: the dots, unon which the calculation ia made, the following re-capitulation is presented: Date, Cities, Jlehtal tloela on hand. 1837, Dec. 18, New Orleans, - bbls. 18,000 itt, Louisville, ... 4,000 " " Cincinnati. ... 10.000 1838, Jan. 1, Richmond, ... 10,317 " Alexandria, ... t.ouu " " Baltimore, ... 25,000 u Piltaburgh, ... 12,000 " 12, Philadelphia, ... 38,000 " New York, ... 180,000 Total actual stock, bbls. - - 290,917 If it be correct that the crop furnishing supply to Richmond, Alexandria, Georgetown, Baltimore and Philadelphia, is very nearly exhausted, and mo supply on hand is so unequal to the consump tion oi the remainder ot the season, in tne places nsincd, it would seem plain that the price of flour niual be regulated at home, by the amount of im-portaiiona from abroad. I apprehend that eufficient attention ia not paid to the extent of wheat producing country, in the United States. What is that extent, when compared with all other cultivationa) The principal region, heretofore, haa been Ihe alone from the eastern foot of the grcnt Alleghany Mouutains to the Atlantic; from Albemarle Sound, on the Atlantic, to the Delaware Biy, including Ihe larger nor l ion of Pennsylvania, New York and Ohio. Wheat is but the principal culiivation in these regions and it ia tne grain chiefly used by the immense population for bread. The aurplue only is exported. At the presont momonl, no division of the country pruduccs any surplus flour, but thoso nsmed, and the weaiern slope of Virginia. When we look at the map of the Union, and observe how large a portion producea no aurplua; when we go further, and mark what a vast tract of very populous country produces no wheat at all; when we add to ihia thshosis of individuala otherwise employed than in cultivation, and remember that all are consumers of flour, we may reaaonably conclude that we should cease to export, that price would riso so as to permit of imports, and would, in a great meaaure, be reguloted by these importations. We have come to ihia imperceptibly, and are aurprised when we make the discovery. The American is endeavoring to make out a case of abort cropa. It certainly raises strong presumptions of an insufficient supply, auflicient-ty strong to warrant those who hold wheat or flour, in the Wost, to retain them for fair, profitable prices. It is doubtless true, that the wheat crop of lost yesr, in the West, was full and abundant, presenting a large aurplua; but thore seems no question about progressive and final demand for the whole. We have obtained from our Canal Collector, a comparative statement of tho conal arrivals for October, November, December and January juat past, and lur the year preccdiug,which la aubjoin-ed: 1836, Oct. 4,800 bbls. 1837, 8,230 bbls.

Yet, it may be caused by sn earner pressure into market, and thua but partially bear upon the entire supply. The followinfffrom theLauroncehurgflndiana') Beacon, gives a painful pioture of the morula of me weal; On Tuesday last, ayoung man by the name of Edward D. McKce, waa nut ashore at this plaeo by the steamer General Pike, for surgi cal aid, he had receivoa a pistol ball through hia body fow milea above this place, by the hand of I fellow passenger. It appears, from a statement made to us by a friend of the young man who wis shot, and who woe on board at Ilia lime, thst the difficulty botween the portiee are some- what alter Ihe lollowing manner: Two ol ihe nassanffers were ffainbliliff. ftilavino' Dokcr ner- hapst) a brolher it? one of the ployors waa standing behind the chair of his antnjonist, giving signals ss to his hand. Mr. McKae, obstrving their movements, remarked lo Ihe other young man that he had better quit, as ihcy wero evidently gouging him. Upon which ihe brother who was playing, damned him, and told him to hold his tongue or he would dirk him. McKee replied thai ho did not like to aland by and aee a man llirual his hand in another's pocket and take hia money. This enraged the young man very much, and a cons d-arable altsrcation arosef he drew his dirk and mado I paaaat McKce, but the latter parried the blow, knocked ihe dirk out of hie hand, and waa in tho act of sinking him with hie fist, when the other brother drew his pistol and shot him, the ball entering near the navel on the left side and passing out a little above tha hip. Thero is a possibility thst McKee may survive. He is under ths ear of Dr. Percival of' this place.

I have seen so much valuable talent, so much industry, such untiring labor, ardent zeal, determined devotion wasted in attempting to build up literary periodicola in ihe Weal, that the subject never rises, in my mind, without producing puin ful sensations. In these, indignation is a large participator. We have intelligence : We have wealth, or greatly the appearance of it enterprise and induatry are aa our household deities. Plenty pervades the country; education ia a topic that finds large space in our conversations, ana in our publio discussions. In fact, we have all the elements and all the motives, that a people can have to encourage and support literary periodicals. And yet failure after failure, in most competent hands, has taken place. Disappointment has ago nized the literary pride of the undertaker, in addition to wasting his strength and conauminghis meana. Ana yet the spirit ol literary adventure rises and struggles fur its pre-eminence. Who, in the West, of literary acquisition, does not know something of Wm. L. Gallagher as sn elegant and talented writer, an indefatigable cut-tivoior ol literature, and one who haa labored much and sacrificed something to build up snd sustain polite literary periodicals in ihe Weat) Noiiher hia ability, nor his zeal hoe been seconded aa thoy ahould have been. But he ia not dismayed. He ie about to make a new effort, in conjunction with Mr. Otway Curry, a young man who has grown up, in person and in acquirements, in our own forests, lie haa produced some poetical and other articles of high promise, and has oeen oiiiiiiguisnca Dy a aeat in tne Legislature for two successive sessions. The prospectus of the proposed new work, has been a short time before Ihe public. We have not uiven it in tho Ga. zelte until to-day, because I was unwilling to put u iui.u tviiuuui soiiiotning more luani mere formal notice. The Hesperian is to be published at Columbus. our Seat of Government, and it will be aeen, that .no pinu ui piiuncuuun is uinereni irom any one yet attempted in ihe West. A single enlerurisinir individual engages in all the business transac tions; Mr. Nichols receives the work from Ihe press and distributes it. lie obtains the subscri. bers, collects the dues, and keepe all the accounts. Theso annuyancea to literary men, so almoat universally mismanaged by them, are not to perplex ihe minds, or to tske up the times of those who furnish the matter of the work. Thua they are to have leisure lor tlieir labors, which is the chief desideratum, in literary avocations. 1 tool a strong commence that the work will de- serva lo euccocd, and upon that, I assume somo- nuu,,iu uiga ii upuu puunc patronage, nothing is required, but that the thousands who are able to make advisably an exchange of fire iollart, ahould not unadvisably grudge to do it. If paid punctually in advance, the payer would never miss it, whilst it would go out, seeking associa tion wiin oiner tienis ot equal amount, congregating with them and forming a mass lu be emnlov- ed in procuring intellectual aliment, for all who are willing to partake of it. Columbus, Jan. 3, 1838. Dear Sir: The General Assembly have so far resumed business since Ihs Christinas holidays, aa hi spenu uoovo nan oi the day in talking about mailers and thinga in general, and occasionally coming in aighl of langibls niattere. I heard Ihe ueoatea io-uay, without eouhning my whole attention lo Ihe subject matter, or the lesser speakers.Some of Ihe Vanocrals are exceedingly crude in their notiona of Government. If il.a Whin endeavor to avoid engrossing power, properly be longing 10 ine juuiciary, thoy are charged wilh I distrust of tho sufficiency of the people for self-government. The subject under discussion in the House, waa ihe incorporation of a Medical Society. The Vanocrals introduced a proviso, that Ihe Legislature should have Ihe power at any subsequent session, of repealing the charter. This led lo a long and very discursive debet. The only speaker on ihe port of the Voniies, who exhibited tact or talent, was Dr. Hubbard, of Lorain, He haa a bright eye, snd monncr of speaking well calculated lo carry in solid phalanx his parly, against Ihe lino of his enemy. Mr, Farran, from Hamilton, i tall, black whiskered, dark complex-ioned young man, with I small amount of mind and intelligence, but great zeal in the cause uf Ins fisrly, made a half-wny conaervstive speech anti-nco foco professedly, but having i tendoncy to destructiveness. Of ihe Whigs, Mr. Spcsker Anthony, large, fat, dark compleiioned man, with a countenance rather lacking in expression, made a aanaibl apsech. K. A. Thruslon, Dsq., ol Montgomery, a young man of small aize, but with a siron'gly uiarkod and expressivs countenance, mado an an-ininied and rnthor able apeech. Nuxl lu Alfred Kelloy, Mr, Thruslon is propably the most elli-cient speaker in Ihe House, and he bids fair to bo come one of the great lights of theStale. But Mr. Kelloy, in iny estimation, isliyhead and shoulders ihe groaieit man in the Assembly. He is of good slnlure, wilh a very strongly marked, but railiereevore expression of countenance. Ilia brow and head would furnish a model for a phrenologist. In speaking, he is natural, distinct, clear in atatomeni, and conclusive in argument. He ia, howevor, too austere in manners, and hos too much of the Roman in him to have the influence that his wisdom, snd apparently honest and patriotic intentions, ouylit lo command. His knowledge and talent are abundant to conBiituto him I good forty leader, and yet hois far from being such. 'alnck G. Gonde would be far more efficient in thai position. You will please recnlleci, however, these are onl) first impressions, and dial if I aee fit to inflict another letleron you, I shall tsks the liberty of modifying, or changing the views herein expressed, according lo my own good pleasure. -Vaiimri Kiprtti, Harrison ir Pr,R!nTi.VAKiA.
