BASCOM. New York, February, 1839. , Mv Dear E : I hare scerl, surveyed, and communed with the whole, and awed and bewildered as if enchanted before the re vealment of a mystery, I attempt to write. You asked me tn yatrr last for some detail ed, veritable account of the falls, and should be glad to gratify you; but how shall 1 essav to paint a scence that so utterly bailies ail conception, ttnd Tenders worse than fruitless every attempt at description? In five min utes after my arrival, on the evening of the 5th, I descended the winding path from the 'Pavilion" on the Canadian side, and for the first time in my life saw this unequalled cascade from "Table Rock," the whole in descrioable scence, in bold outline, bursting on my view at once. I had heard and read much, and imagined more, of what was be fore me. I was perfectly fainiliir with the often told, the far-travelled story of what I saw; but the overpowering reality on which I was gazing, motionless as the .rock on which. I stood, deprived me of recollection, annihilated all curiosity, and with the emo tions of sublimity, (ill now unfr It, and all Unearthly, the involuntary exclamation es caped me, 'fof of grwutettr! what a teener' JBul the majesty of - Uic-sight, ami the inJ lercst ol tnc moment, how - depict 4UoinI 1 ho hugetunplitude of water,- tumbling in foam above, and dashing on, arched and ril- larcd as it irlides, until it reaches the orcein. ice of the ahuKv-and-Uuin, in onvartt-coH umn, bounding, witli maddening roar and rusu, into uie depths beneatu presents awonuer anu awe was leK-wnen,' alter" fle utterably appalling tlr.it Ian-1 "eending the spiral staircase at Table Rock, spectacle so unutte guage falters; wrds are no longer signs and I despatr givrng- you my adenrrate" - idea rof I what I saw and felt.

Him. mod with the rUing fog - and mist, and ob scurely gilded by the softening tints of the rainbow. These all belong to the picture; and the cflect of the whole is immeasurably heightened by the noise of the cataract, now. reminding you of the reverberatjoinr'of the heavens in a tempest, and jhCn of thcoeean, when angered by the vrinds! l he concave bed of rock, from which the water falls some two hundred feet, into the almost boundless reservoir beneath, is a sec tion of a circle, which, at first sight from I able Sock; presents something like tho geometrical curve of the rainbow; and the wonders of the grand "crescent, thus ad vantageously thrown upon tho eye in com bination, and the appropriate sensations anil ' boom of the waters, rentier the sight more sur-' prisin?Iv sublime than anv thinir 1 have ever looked upon or conceivedof. As it regards my thoughts and leeiings at the time, l can help ; you to no conceptions of their character. Overwhelming astonishment was the only bond between thought and thought; and wild, and vague, and boundless, were the associations of tho hour! Before mo the strength and fulness of the congregated "lakes of the north" were enthroned and concentrated, within a circumference embrac- j ed by a single, glance of the eye. Here I saw, rolling and dashing at the rate of twenty -fipi kvnnrd million of tone per day, nearly one half of all the fresh water upon the -surface- of' the gtobc! '0n the American side, I beheld a vast deluge, nine, hundred feet MoreaduV with. a. Jail of one hundred and eighty or ninety, met fifty above l-Ieycl L9f.;;guljf-bya,;.huge. projection of the rock, which seems to break the descent and continuity of the flood, only, to increaseitsfierco & bverwlielfning bound.. And turning to the "crescent," I saw the mingled rush of foam and tide dashing with fearful strife and emulation four hundred yards of the sheet rough and sparry, and the remaining three hundred a deep sea-like mass of living green, rolling and heaving like a sheet of emerald. Even imagination fail ed me, and I could think of nothing but o- a . a at a a S 'l a cean let loose iromms peg, ana seeking a deeper gulf below! The fury of the water, at the termination of its fall, combined with the columned strength of tlie cataract and the deafening; thunder of the flood, are at once inconceivable and indescribable. No imagination, however creative, can corres pond with the granduer of the reality, I have already mentioned, and it is impor tant that you keep it in view, the ledge of the roek-tho-ere of lh - waUract, rising like a wall of equal height, and extended in semicircular form across the whole bed of the river, a distance of more than two thou sand feet, and the impetuous flood, eorubtov ing to thia arrangement, in making -its plumage; with mountain weight, into the great horseshoe : basin beneath, exhibits a spectacle of the sublime, in geographical scenery, without perhaps a pa railed in na ture. As I leaned over tlie Table Rock. lowy turbulence of the angry -depth, where the waters, tossing and . whirling, coiling ana springing, with the energy ol an earth quake, and a rapidity that almost shocked my vision, I found the scence sufficient to appal a sterner spirit than mine; and I was glad to turn away and relieve my mind by a aijjii oi ine surrCMtmiiiif scenery bays, islands, shores, and forests, every where reeedjng in due perspective. The rainbows of the 'crescent, and American side, which are only visible from the western bank of the Niagara and in the afternoon, seem to demi nish somewhat from the lawfulness of the scene, and to give it an aspect of rich and mellow grandeur, not unlike the bow of pro mise, throwing its assuring radiance over the retiring waters of the deluge. The "rapids," which commence nearly a mile above the cataract, and sparkling in the sun, spread out like a sea of diamonds, seem admirably to give notice of what a waits below; and when examined from a position on Goat island, become extremely interesting, from the dash and foam of die broken Hood, the noise which, distinct from that of the great fall, would remind you of the murmurs of an Alpine forest, in. the ris- inf swell of the coming storm. In crossing the river below the falls you have one of the richest views of the whole cascade that can possibly be imagined, and the rising bank and mossy rock, the lofty trees and luxu riant shrubbery on either side, are in fine keeping with the and are essentia! to the unity and completeness of the picture; nut wnat most interested me. here was the tumultuous tossing and whirling of the wa ter, where its depth must be more than two hundred feet, and its width at. least seven hundred yards. The Whole mass seems to be heaving with infuriate life. A thousand counter currents and eddies meet, bruak and mingle, in the general "torrent and whirl wind" of the water. Within a circumfer ence of two or three hundred yards, near the American shore, this singular action of lliAAl, .1 1 f ' the element gives the water an elevation (ilof five to seven feet above: the drdinarr-l vel. and the -strong conflicting current are seen tossing and struggling with volcanic force like the Adriatic turned up from the bottom atcmpesu But the most appalling combination of 1. passed under the great falling sheet CHvesttng myself 'of the-imst " bnTderisroiile part of my clothes, and girding an oil cloth manue aoout me, wurt a-nooa , tor tr;.nro apace, naif luminous, half obscure, between ma proiccuno- roc it anu (lie oounuiess mass of -water. pouring over in arch, like a. saa of! molten lead. In this way 1 proceeded one hundred and fifty tir sixty feet, to 'Termin ation Rock," a point beyond which no hu man being has ever penetratad, and here, a mid a tempest of wind and spray, almost de priving me of respiration, I paused to look up and around, awed and agitated by the stir ring grandeur and sombro mysteriousuoss of all I could hear or see. The edge of tho precipice over which the water falls is a projection of about fifty feet over the base where I stood. After remain ing here for several minutes, and selecting some pebbles from the path at my fee W with an increased sense or danger, I effected mv retreat, sincerely thankful that I had not purchased the gratification of my curiosity with the loss of mv' life. I snent four dsvs and nights', with the exception of a few hours lor rest, in the examination or the falls, and in solitude with the majesty of the engrossing scene a majesty all its own untyped and unshadowed by aught I have seen before; and having surveyed the grand object of my visit from nearly a hun dred diiierent points ot view, I was more than satisfied that the cataract of Niagara l a wonder in nature, wholly unique in its kind, and affording a rich if not an une qualled harvest ol interest and observation to every beholder. Indeed, nature sesnu to have done her work here in a mood, and upon a scale of the mast creative- prodigali ty; cpnsuldng alike, as the pagan poet would say, "her own amusement, and thV admira? Hon of man. My last look at the falls was a niirht view from tlib upper portico of the Pavilion; the brilliant lamps and mooned loveliness of an autumnal heaven adding to the' splendor of mo t iBiuii. ..... j-rum urn point, amiu tne tre mulous shaking of the earth. Si tha heavens in silent communion with tlie mighty cat aract, the eye takes a more extended ran ire the most magnificent f prospects. The whole scenery, diversified and yet one, is. spread out oeiore you in living beauty and picturesque majesty. You see the plains and forests above, the cliffs, and rocks and is lands around; the dreadful precipice, and the bold sweep of the watery mass, while tne lull or the vast pervading column strikes your ear like the thunder chorus of the "vas ty deep,'? warring with ilaboundsl I felt about me a heart-reaching, a spirit stirring influence, that detained mo till mid night; and when I retired, fatigued and ex hausted, and threw myself upon my pillow, it was onlv to feel the mora intinailv th rwwef ma;expre uepui, tne nameless rrauoeur or the scene: and ear and thought still linger to catch and commune with, the far-off chidinga of the flood,' as they wailed to the one the requiem of departed waters, and murmured " to the other the melancholy dirge of their passing w y r-V-rr-1" Cataract of Niagara, Sept. 9, 18 From tha Mississippi!!.

The past quiescence of the "Old Thir teen in the open and shameless system of spoliation and plunder which. -the Federal Administration has carried on for tho last ten years against them, has often been the aub ject of comment and wonder. Never did any people so long and patiently submit to so groat an injustice, without a particle of good to mitigate the unalloyed evil. Enti tled by plain deeds, which do not admit of two constructions, to millions and millions of acres of land of almost inestimable value. they have yet folded their arms in calm in difference, and seen their noble inheritance converts (jQnto an electioneering fund, and dissipated by the most corrupt and corrup ting prodigality, ine mystery is suscepti ble of only one solution -the spirit of par ty in the late unhappy times ' predominated over a love of country, and blinded the rea son of men to the perception of a laudable self-interest. 1 . But since the great deep of parly has been broken up, and the clouds of faction have bocn dissipated by tho sun of reason, w may confidently imlulgt? the nope of the near approach of better times.

Arkansas, Misssisv ippi, Missouri, &r. are overlaid with land ;Qlwccrj.,wlvowttb.4ioit . and money, are eigvbled to subsidize th peo ple. These profligHta. Hcgisters and Re reivers, whose accounts are allowed to go for years unsettled, in consideration of the s, r services they render the party, finally wind up and run awar as Defaulters. New York has a large interest in the Public Domain. Our share is worth from forty to fifty millionth rdrfoHar.Wu!i this " ' " amount of money, we could forward the im provementa so much needed to develope our own resources and to secure the trade of the vast and growing West, Were we now in possession of our share of the Public Land. . the New York and-Erie and tholako Champlain and St. Jtwrence Railroad " might be immediately eonsuructed without the aid of a dollar from' other aouresa. " And why,itiwill he asked, are we' kept from our share of these lands? Why is Mr. Clay's Land Dill so perservingly onpoa- t ed by the friends of Mr. Van Burenf; There Is but oue reason for such a wanton disre gard of our interests. The proceads of these Lands are required for political purpo- ses. ' TUe Lands are hold by the General Government as a porrUptioL Fund. The interest of the people are sacrificed to por- re?uau .po-wetC profligate . AdmilUiK. . tration. , ,---.r. ... .'. It was ever thus with Van Buren. His in terests are always in conflict with those of the People. He has ever been supported by a . sacrifice of the common welfare, other public men,, he never seeks to rise by t means which benefit either tlie People or r the CJdnnfry. - (a the contrary his iortunea -can only be advanced at the expense and upon the ruins of the community. We ask the people of New , York to re fleet seriously opoa this aubject. , It con cerns us all. We are eommou heirs to thia rich inheritance. We are kept out of it by unfaithful Trustees, How long shall we tolerate this injustice! How long are we a willing to be. deprived of a fund which would fartalise, enriuh and exalt our Sutat C 0 M M O N .8 C H O 6 LS. ' From th Conunua School jewoual.
