We do not know that this, is tlio most
suspicious time, for asking appropriations
by the General Government for any object 1
whatever, but it is never too early, or out
of olace, to make a good beginning. 'I>?o
attempt to make a Ship channel from Win.
' jn* Bay to tlie ocean across North Island,
proved (us is known we presume to the
^greater part of the people in this section of
the State) a total fuKure. bince then, the
-Port and Bar of Georgetown, liavo not re.
. ceivtxi much attention, from the Congress
: of tho Union. Wa should bo grateful how.
t over, that so I old and expensive an effort
* Was made, in our behalf. The lino of the 1
canal can even now, if wo mistake not, he ;
traced, and any one at all conversant, with
tha formation of eoils. #if) discover the improeticability
of keeping open, the smallest ,

enditure of money. It would require not (
?nly, that tHo sides of I ho canal should be 1
lupported by mossy walls of brick or stone, 1
Mil that the wholu ' water lino aobth of it, (
indn very greet part Of that to the North,
ihould be skirted with similar defences J
igninst tho waters of the Buy on one side, and
hose of tho sea on the other ; otherwise, the J
eater would soon meet in the rear of the 1
wulls, and overthrow thorn. It h for this
-easort, wo have characterized the enter*
>ris? ss bold, end expensive. Our view in I
idveningto the fuct now, is to invite nticn* ^
ion to another, and we believe, perf??ctly I
irncticablo plan for improving our B ir.'
Jnc which will cost (in comparison will
be other) but a trifling expenditure, while .
ihe work will be as durub!o as tho coast it- <
self. It is well known, and therefore we do
not mention it as information, that all the
waters of Wioyaw Bay and its tributaries, .
pnss to the occean through the North In- 1
let, and over the main Bur to our llarbor, 1
except tin? small body which, branching
from the Bay. to the right, froms South Is
land. Now to our mind, it appears very
clear that the only sure and permanent in*
crease of depth on tlie Bar,Is to be hud by
toppin g the vetit of water ul Not til Inlet.
t?hicti with tho object before us, we think It
moro proper to cull outlet. This can be effected
by dropping arose ballast across this
ouict, from ibu North end of North Island,
to the opposite point of Dubordicu*s, till a
continuous barrier of atone is raised from
shore ?v shore, a foot or two above t'.io high*
est spring tides. The sand, put in motion
by the water and blown from the now connected
shores, will in a brief space of time
fill all the interstices in, and cover the top
of tho embankment, making it impervious
to water, and lusting, us the world. The
sure consequence of closing this passage
will be, that instead of two currren s flowing
through different channels to the Ocean,
there will be but one, which moving onWard
witlrincreased volume velocity, and |
power, w ill frol nnay, and deepen the passage
through the boar,carrying the drift sand
far into deep water. By this natural action
of the water, we should in a very f?u years
have depth enough, to p??? Hiiy merchant
ship over our bar, and then will Georgetown
become what her vast back river and o'lur
natural ndvnnta .es seem to have destined
her to be. To this suggestion it may b"
objected that the drift sand will form another
shoal, and wc admit, tliut it will either do
j that, or, by settling upon the present shoals,
j elevuto litem into islands. Which we conceive
to be a matter of no impoitance, for
the drift will not be deposited any where, till
it shall have ceased to feel the impetus which
removed it from the bar ; so that, who-her
a new shoal be formed, or an old one transformcj
into an Island, is a matter of no moment,
there being necessarily a deep, an t
spacious channel between, either, and the
Bur. Another g-cat advantage of our protinsi'.irin

never require repair. These are crude
ideas, but v\c venture nevertheless, to ask
Cor them the cnlm consideration, which the
?reui importance to our Port of u ship chanttvJ.
rcquiius oithose whose duty, it is, to act
upon such matters. Suppose the Legislature,
requests our dt legation, to move Congress,
on this subject?docs Georgetoioii wi li In r
back country, ask too much ? We refer
to the Tax re urns, and challenge an answer
in the affirmative.

No yn!\ wlio will look back a few year*
and eocnll tho sentiments of distrust mi<t
1 ernbi.lered hostility with which the adherents
to the Nullification und Union parties view,
cd each otlmr* cult doubt thu truth of these
remarks. We remember when about to sottin
a* pis'or of a Church nl?out that time, dining
one day with n Nollifier, and ho declur<
d hat lie did not believo th?ro whs an honest
man in tho Union party, and the very <
n? xt tlay or the duy atfer, we dined with a
Union uinn, who asserted 110 less broadly
and bitterly that he did not believe there was
an honest Nulltfier ; yet, before that contest,
these men hud been friends ns well usjncighbors,
reciprocating the kindnesses of social
