CORNWALL AND DEVON CENTRAL
RAILWAY.

At a highly respectable and Influential public MEETING of
the Inhabitants of Falmouth and its vicinity, favourable to the
construction of a direct Railway to Exeter, held in the Guildhall,
Monday, Sept. la,
JAMES BULL, Esq., in the Chair.
. _

the following resolutions were unanimously passed :
That it is the opinion of this Meeting that the projected coast line
of Railway from Falmouth to Torpoint, "with a very doubtful
passage across the Hamoazc, on the lower part of the Tamar,"
and a distance of a mile and a half from the beach, to join the South
Devon line, would be of little comparative advantage if effected,
and is highly objectionable, as tending to prevent the formation
of a central line of railway, which would alone be beneficial
to the county of Cornwall, and that it does net , comply with
the principles laid down by the Railway Department of the
Board el Trade as the basis for all future extensions of railway
communication, vie., " The advantages to be obtained, in a
national point of view, in completing or extending important lines
of railway communication; the amount of local advantages afforded
to the towns and districts more immediately affected ; the engineer.
ing circumstances of the line, as far as may be necessary to form a
general judgment of the character of the undertaking ; the esti-
mates of cost of construction and of traffic and working expenses
so far as may be necessary to judge of the probability of the line
being completed and efficiently w orked ;" and by making Plymouth
the real terminus of the Railway, must evidently prevent a more
western port horn reaping the advantages of its position in a corn.
mercial point of view.

That by a direct line of Railway from Exeter, instead of a coast
line by Plymouth, by which the Cornwall line will be a mere
branch of the South Devon line, there will be a saving of up-
wards of twenty miles, which is of great importance bAth as re-
gards time and expense, and, in the worth of Captain Beaufort,
the Hydrographer to the Admiralty, "There can be but little
doubt that Falmouth will again have the mails, and, moreover, be-
come a port of far greater consequence than it has yet been."

At a highly respectable and influential public MEETING of the
inhabitants of Penryn and its vicinity, convened by the Mayer, and
held at the Guildhall the 2l at day of September, 1844,
THOMAL GREY TRENERY, Egg., in the chair,

the following resolutions were unanimously passed :
That it is the decided conviction of this Meeting that a Central
Railway from Falmouth to Exeter is the only line which combines
all the requisites for such a mode of communication through the
county of Cornwall, and is also entitled to support, as calculated to
restore the packets to Falmouth Harbour, and to afford all those
facilities for the transit of passengers and traffic which are required,
both in a national and local point of ♦iew, besides securing to the
port of Falmouth all the advantages of its geographical position.
That in the opinion of this Meeting the proposed railway to Tor.
point, " with," in the words of Captain Moorsom, the engineer, " a
very doubtful passage across Hamoase," on the lower part of the
Tamar, is highly objectionable, and in no respect calculated to
afford that amount of accommodation to the great mass of the
population of Cornwall which they require, and none to that of the
North of Devon, and by tending inevitably to transfer the trade
and commerce which would be concentrated at the most western
port to its rival Plymouth, would be most detrimental to the in.
terests of this county; and that this Meeting pledges itself to give
such South Line its most determined opposition.

At a Public MEETING of the Inhabitants of Redruth, held on
Tuesday, the Ist of October,
WILLIAM DAVEY, Esq., in the chair,
the following resolutions were unanimously adopted :-
1. That this Meeting cerdially recognises the principles pro-
pounded by the Railway Department of the Board of Trade for re-
gulating their inquiries into all proposed schemes for the extension
of existinglines of railway, :—" That regard should be had to
the advantages to be obtained in a national point of view; to the
amount of local advantage afforded to the towns and districts more
immediately affected ; and to the engineering circumstances of the
line; and is decidedly of opinion that a central line of railway, in
preference to a coast line from Falmouth to Exeter, completely em.
braces these important objects.
2. That in a national point of view it is of the utmost import.
ance that the connection of Falmouth harbour with the metropolis
and the great manufacturing districts in the ncrtb of England and
Scotland should be eneted in the shortest possible space of time,
and, therefore, with the view of securing to the country generally,
as well as to the county of Cornwall, the full advantage of " the best
port in the kingdom for the embarkation and landing of the mails
for the West Indies, the Peninsula, the Mediterranean, and all our
transatlantic possessions," as well as to insure the convenience of
passengers, and the cheap transmission of merehandize, a central
line of railway from Falmouth to Exeter is pre.erninentiy entitled
to the support of Cornishmen.
3. That in addition to affording the greatest accommodation to
the greatest number, it is especially essential, in a local point of
view, that a railway should secure the quickest and cheapest
means of transit, not only to the London markets, but to those of
the midland and northern districts, of those early and rare vegeta-
bles and fruits for which the western part of Cornwall is so cele-
brated, and which would form se considerable a portion of traffic, as
well as to ensure to our fishermen a profitable sale of that inimitable
supply of the finest fish with which our coasts abound, and that a
central line of railway can best effect those objects.
4. That, from the report of the Committee appointed at a county
meeting convened by the High Sheriff, for the purpose of obtaining
information as to the feasibility of constructing a railway through
Cornwall to Exeter, it appears that a survey of the central line was
made in 1840.41, by Captain Moorsom, C. E., in which he states,
" That a Central Line combines the greatest amount of accem-
rnodation, both local and general, with the least drawback in respect
to the works involved and the expense incurred in construction and
working."

5. That from the said report it also appears that, from traffic
returns actually made and carefully revised, such line would, after
deducting 40 per cent for working charges, yield a profit to the
Shareholders of upwards of 71. per cent.; whereas it appears, from
the prospectus of the projectors of the Plymouth and Falmouth
Railway, that the estimated returns on the capital will be only
" 61. per cent, and upwards," thereby clearly proving that, even
as a speculation with a view to profitable investment only, the
Central Line is best entitled to public support ; and that there are
good grounds for believing that, if the Central Line to Exeter be
properly brought before the country, it will at once obtain the sup.
port of Cornishmen and capitalists generally.

At tt. !P.:bile MEETING, convened by the Mayor, on a requiti.
ticna signed by IttO inhabitants of Falmouth and its vicinity, held
in the Guildhall, on Saturday, the Igth of October,
STEPHEN BROUGHAM, Esq., Mayor, in the chair,

the following resolutions were unanimously agreed to :
That, from the time that a Railway through Cornwall wee first
contemplated, a central or direct line from Exeter to Falmouth has
ever been deemed the most advantageous, both in a national and
local point of view, and from the report of Captain Moorsom, C.E.,
made in 1841, to the Committee appointed by a county meeting,
it appears is (hat course which, with the least practical objection
in Its features, vvhcther in construction or in reference to subsequent
working, gives the greatest amount of accommodation to the county
of Cornwall.

That it is the decided conviction of this meeting that the pro.
posed Railroad from Exeter to Falmouth. via Plymouth, would,
from the acknowledged difficulties of its construction, the loss of
time in effecting " a very doubtful passage across the liamoaze, on
the lower part of the river Tamar," and the expenses of travelling a
distance of twenty miles more than by a direct line from Falmouth
to Exeter, sacrifice all the advantages possessed by the port of Fal.
mouth, from its geographical position, as " the best port in the
kingdom for the embarkation) and landing of the mails for the West
Indies, the Peninsula, the Mediterranean, and all our transatlantic
possessions."
That, as the interest of the Right Hon. Lady Bassett, and the
Right Hon. Lord Wodehouse, and their respective tenantry, aro
deeply involved in the construction of the most advantageous line
of railway through Cornwall, this meeting respectfully solicits the
Right Honourable Lady and the Noble Lord will be pleased to
give their support to the Committee for forming the Central Line
of Railway from Exeter to Falmouth.
That the representatives in Parliament for the county, and those
for Penryn and Falmouth and the other boroughs of Cornwall, be
also solicited to add their names to the Provisional Committee, for
the purpose of securing to Cornwall a line of railway which fully
complies with the requirements of the Railway Department of the
Board of Trade, both as regards the advantages in a national point
of view, and the advantages to the towns and districts more imme-
diately interested.

At a Public MEETING of the inhabitants of Watiebridge
and its vicinity, held at the Moleaworth Arms Hotel, on Tuesday,
the 22d day of October, 1844,
EDMUND HAMMY, Esq., in the Chair,

The following resolutions were unanimously agreed to :
That this meeting is decidedly of opinion that a central line of
railway through Cornwall to Exeter would be found greatly to the
advantage of the county, and in a public, local, and national point
of view, superior to a communication based on a coast line. That
by a central line the distance from the western ports of Falmouth
and Penzance to the metropolis would be considerably shortened, the
difficult and dangerous passage across the Hamoaze avoided, and
the requirements of the county best provided for.
That the members of the county and the different boroughs be
requested to give their utmost support to the Central Line, and per.
mit their names to be added to the Provisional Committee of the
Cornwall and Devon Railway.
That a memorial be prepared and presented to the Board of
Trade, pointing out the superior advantages of the Cornwall and
Devon Central Railway, both in a national and local point of view•

At a Public MEETING of the inhabitants of Padstow, held at
Rawlings' Commercial Hotel, this 23d day of October, 1844,

THOMAS TREMAIN, Esq., in the Chair,

the following resolutions were unanimously carried :
That a Central or Direct Line of Railroad from Exeter to Fal.
mouth has ever been regarded as the most advantageous both in a
national and local point of view, and that this meeting pledges it.
self to support a Central Line.
That the representatives in Parliament for the eastern division of
the county of Cornwall be solicited to sußport a Central Line, for
the purpose of securing to the county a line of railroad which hilly
complies with the requirements of the Board of Trade, both as re-
gards the advantages in a national point of view, the county at large,
and this ill' portent port in particular.

At a public MEETING of the inhabitants of Helston, convened
by the Mayor on a requisition of the inhabitants,
THOMAS ROGERS, Esq., Mayor, in the Chair,
the following resolutions were unanimously carried :
That this meeting is deeply impressed with the importance of a
Central Railway, and pledges itself to promote the success of such
an undertaking.
That this Meeting is satisfied of the superiority of a Central Line,
and also that the requisite capital can be easily obtained.
That a memorial from this Meeting in favour of the Central Line
be forwarded to the Board of Trade.
That it is the opinion of this meeting that Cornishmen should
forward the Central Line by applying for shares in the Cornwall
and Devon Central Railway Company without delay.
That the Mayor be requested to communicate the unanimous
opinion of this Meeting in favour of a Central Line to the Member
for this borough, with an urgent request that he promote the un.
d
ertaking, and allow his name to appear in the list of Provisional
Committee.

That the Members for the County be urgently requested to pro.
mote the Central Railway.

CORNWALL AND DEVON CENTRAL
RAILWAY.

At a Public MEETING of the inhabitants of Bodmin and its
neighbourhood, convened by the Mayor, on a requisition of the
Inhabitants,

JOHN WARD, Eaq., Mayor, in the ehair,

the following resolutions were unanimously carried :
That, however much it may be to the private interest of asso.
ciated companies, or of individuals, to promote the formation of
other railways through this county, and whatever may be the
plausibility with which such undertakings are urged upon the at..
tention of the public, this meeting sees no reason to doubt the cor.
rcetness of the recorded opinion of the county, that a central or
direct line from Exeter to Falmouth is indispensable in a national
point of view, and would afford the greatest amount of local ac.
commodation.

That as affbrding the beet line in a national, local, and engi-
neering point of view, the projected Central Railway may be as-
sured of the sanction of the Board of Trade, and as approved by the
landowners through whose property it passes, it is placed beyond
the reach of successful opposition In Parliament ; whilst, by run.
fling through, or bordering on, and connected with, the principal
towns and populous mining districts of the county, it will receive
the support of the commercial and alining Interest, and by offering,
as shown by the estimate of traffic, a profitable investment for
money, there is no lenger reason to doubt that it will command the
requisite capital for carrying it into effect, thus removing the only
objection ever urged against a Central Railway, even by the promo-
ters of the Southern Line.

That, looking to the large and wealthy district on the north of
Bodmin, to the increasing importance of the trade at Wadebridge,
and to the fact that Padatow (the harbour of which has been lately
placed, by Act of Parliament, under the superintendence of Com-
missioners with powers for its improvement) forms the most eonve.
nient port for embarkation to the south of Ireland, this Meeting
trusts that an effort will be made to afford this part of the county
a railway in communication with the metropolis, by bringing the
main trunk of the Central Line of Railway int, immediate con-
neetion with the Bodmin and Wadebridge Railway, and that the
Padatow Commissioners ar.d the Directors of the Bothnia and
Wadebridge Railway will aid in forwarding so desirable an object.
That a memorial from this Meeting, in favour of the Central
Line of Railway, be forwarded to the Board of Trade.

Tbat.the Meuthers for the county be requested to give their sup.
port to the projected Central Line of Railway between Falmouth
and Exeter, as being best calculated to promote the public interests
of the county, and that the Mayor be requested to forward a copy of
this resolution to the county Members.
That the town of Bodmin being the place at which the assizes,
quarter sessions, and all the county meetings are held, requires a
rapid and direct means of communication with all parts of Cornwall,
and the adjoining county of Devon, as also with the metropolis.
That the Members for the borough, be, therefore, requested to co-
operate in furtherance of the proposed undertaking, as tending to
the prosperity of the town and borough, and that the Mayor be re-
quested to forward a copy of this resolution to Sir T. S. Spry and
J. D. Gardner, Esq.

At a numerous and influential public MEETING of the inhabit.
ants of the town and neighbourhood of Penzance, held at the Guild-
hall, on Friday, the Bth of November, 1844, by requisition,
JOHN BATTEN, Esq., Mayor, in the chair,
the following resolutions were passed unanimously :
That it Is the decided opinion of this Meeting that the Central
Railway is the only one calculated to meet the requirements of this
town and neighbourhood, and the county in general.
That this Meeting is quite convinced that in a national point of
view the Central Line will insure greater facility of intercourse
and certainly of communication than any line that should depend
on " the doubtful passage across Hamoaze."
That a memorial in support of the Central Line be prepared
for presentation to the Board of Trade.
That a Committee be formed for the purpose of conferring
with the Committee of the coast line, with the view of inducing
them to co-operate in earrying out a measure which they have
so repeatedly stated to be of such vital importance to the county.
That the cordial thanks of this Meeting be given to Edward
William Wynne Pendarves, Esq., and Edmund Turner, Esq.,
for their generous determination to maintain the interests of the
county, by withdrawing their support from the Plymouth and
Falmouth line, when they found that a Central Line was at-
tainable.
That the Members of the county be requested to promote by
every means in their power, the Central Line, which is of ouch
essential importance to the welfare of this county.
That the Mayor and Corporation be requested to co-operate in
carrying out se important an object to this town and neigh.
bourhood.

HUMPHRY WILLYAMS, Esq., in the chair,

That the statement which has been made by Mr. Tilly to this
meeting has fully satisfied it of the feasibility and superior advantage
of a Central Line of Railway through the county of Cornwall, in a
national and provincial point of view.

That this meeting wi❑ promote a Central Railway by every
means in its power, and call particularly on the members for the
county to give it their best support in the House of Commons.

At a numerous and highly respectable public MEETING of the
inhabitants of the Borough of Truro, held at the Town-hall, on
Monday, the 28th of October, 1844,
NICHOLAS F. BASSETT, Esq., the Mayor, in the chair,

the following resolutions were unanimsusly passed :
That this meeting is convinced of the perfect practicability of
the Central Line of Railway through Cornwall and Devon, and of
its great superiority over the proposed Coast Line from Plymouth
to Falmouth, both in a national and local point of view.

That a railway with a single line, interrupted by " the very
doubtful passage across the "Homo:ire," is wholly unfitted to the
wants and requirements of this county.
That the following memorial to the Board of Trade in favour of
the Central Lino be adopted by this meeting, and that *e Mayor
be requested to sign the same on behalf of the meeting; and that
the Members for this Borough be requested to present the same
to the Board of Trade, and to give their strenuous support to
the prayer of the memorial; and that a petition to the House of
Commons in favour of the Central Line, assimilated to the memorial,
be prepared and taken from house to house for signature, and. that
the Members for the borough be requested to present the came at
the proper time, and to support it in the House of Commons.

"To the Honourable the Commissioners of the Railway Depart.
mcnt of the Board of Trade.
My Lord and Gentlemen,—Your memorialists, the inhabitants
of the borough of Truro, in the county of Cornwall, in public mcet-
ing assembled, in the Town-hall, on the 28th day of October, 1844,
respectfully show forth to your Hon. Board—.
" That it has been proposed to construct a line of railway from
Plymouth to Falmouth, passing along the southern district of this
county, and arriving at Plymouth by a passage across the Ilamoare
from Torpoint.
" That it has also been proposed to construct a line of. Railway
from Exeter to Falmouth and Penzance, parsing through the centre
of the counties of Devon and Cornwall, at about an equal distance
from either sea coast.

•• That by the Central Line the distance of twenty miles would
be saved between Exeter and Falmouth, no engineering obstacle
exists on the line, the land is of comparatively little value, the
central highlands of both counties are much less broken or in.
tersectcd by deep valleys than where the sea coast is approached,
as on the proposed Southern line ; the eost of construction
will be moderate, and owing to the superiority of the
gradients the working expenses will be proportionably less
than on the proposed Southern Line; the prospects of traMe
accruing from the population of both counties, northward and
southward of the line, are much greater than by a Southern
line, as the Central line would accommodate In Cornwall alone,
out of a population of 341,000, about 326,060 in a greater degree
than the proposed South line; whereas, if the latter line were
adopted, 16,000 only would be accommodated in a greater degree
than by the Central line) and in regard to Devon, the benefit
of the Central line would be extended to a population of 60,009,
within six miles on each side of that line.
" Another advantage which would result not only to Govern-
ment but to the commercial community, by the adoption of the
Central line, would be its adaptation to the electro-telegraph,
which might be made the medium of instant communication be.
tween the port of Falmouth and the metropolis.
" That the Central line is proposed to be a double line, and
to be worked by locomotive engines; whereas the Southern
line is to be a' single line, and to be constructed on the at.
mospheric principle.
t' Wherefore your memorialists pray your Honourable Board
to report in favour of the Central Line of Railway from Exeter
to Falmouth and Penzance, whenever the competing lines shall be
presented to your consideration."
That this Meeting will support the Central line by every means
in its power, and earnestly solieits the Members for the county of
Cornwall, and for this borough, to place their names on the Pro.
visional Committee, and to give the Central Line their undivided
support in Parliament and elsewhere.

Edmund Turner, Esq., 15,1. P., stated his determination to sup.
port the Central line by every means in his power, and requested
his name to be placed on the Provisional Committee.

Exeter, Nov. 2, 1844.—At a public MEETING of the inha.
bitants of this city and neighbourhood, held this day, in oompliance
with a requisition most numerously and respectably signed,
The Right Worshipful the MAYOR in the ehalr,
the following resolutions were unanimously adopted :
That the city of Exeter and its neighbourhood, from its popula-
tion and geographical position, is entitled to the advantages of the
railway system on a more extended scale than it at preeent enjoys ;
and that this meeting considers that the construction of a direct
line of railway from London through Yeovil to Exeter, and its con-
tinuation through the centre of Devon and Cornwall to Falmouth,
would be an undertaking of great national importance, and highly
advantageous to this city, and especially entitled to the support of
all who feel interested in its prosperity.
That this Meeting regards most favourably the eonstruction of a
railway to Barnstaple, through Crediton, which will open a emu-
munication between the North of Devon and the various lines of
railway which may be concentrated at Exeter.
That this meeti►jg pledges itself to use every exertion to promote
and earry out the objects et the foregoing resolutions.

TO JAMES BRYDEN, Esq., LONDON, SE-
CRETARY to the PROMOTERS of the GREAT
WESTERN RAILWAY from DUBLIN to GALWAY.
Sir,—The interest which I feel in th! construction of a Railway
to the West of Ireland, induces me to ask you icr an answer to the
following questions, in order to enable myself and others to judge
who are the parties most likely to accomplish this desirable object,
and therefore most deserving of public support.
First—Who ate the promoters at present forming your Provi-
sional Committee, and upon what number of shares has each mem-
ber of the Committee paid the deposit ?
Second—What is the whole amount of deposits actually paid on
the shares for your Company, and where is such money now de-
posited?

Third—How many, and which of the persons who have signed
the declaration published by you, and dated 11th instant, in favour
of your project, have proved their confidence by taking shares in it,
and paying the deposits thereon, and what Is the aggregate nutn-
ber of shares so taken P

Fourth—Has any account of the traffic on your line been
taken or any calculation made of its amount, and if so, what Is the
amount of revenue calculated on, distinguishing the amount ex-
pected to be received for each separate branch of such traffic ?
The public have a right to expect a plain and full reply on these
points, and if not given at once, I must only infer that they cannot
be satisfactorily answered.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.
FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.
TIMES.—Our readers scarcely need to be reminded
of the ingenious mode of operation adopted by the
authors of the Constitution of the United States for the
purpose of conducting the election of the President with
the requisite order and dispatch. In the month of No-
vember preceding the actual election, the whole consti-_
tuency of each state names as many electors or delegates
as it sends members to Congress, who are invested with
the function of electing the President, and are of course
pledged to what is termed " the ticket" of one or other
if the leading candidates. The votes of these electors
are subsequently transmitted by sealed lists to the Pre-
sident of the Senate, by whom they are opened and i
counted in the presence of Congress ; so that, in reality,
except in those cases in which neither candidate has a
majority of the whole number of electors appointed,
when the House of Representatives proceeds to
ballot for the President, the preliminary nomi-
nation of electors is the most important and
tumultuous part of the proceeding, and when there
are but two candidates in the field, the final result of the
contest may thus at once be ascertained. This nomina-
tion of the presidential electors has just been completed,
and it appears to leave no doubt as to the triumph of the
Democratic party, and of their candidate, Mr. Polk.
The surprise, and, we must add, the apprehensions and
regret, which this event will produce in Europe, are in-
creased by the fact that it is the great States of New
York, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, which have turned
the scale. Far from exercising that moderating power,
and, if we may so speak of anything in America, that
Conservative influence which might seem to belong to
their position, their wealth, their mercantile interests,
and their exemption from slavery, Pennsylvania has
in this instance obeyed the same influences which
have already connected her name with bankruptcy
and anarchy, and New York has followed her example.
Of Mr. Polk we know nothing, except that he has
achieved a triumph over the most able and respected
man in the Union, although he was scarcely more
known in that union a few months ago, than he now is
in Europe. He has not been chosen for his past ser-
vices, or his political experience, or for civil eloquence,
or for military fame; for these qualities would doubtless
long ago have brought him within our notice, if he had
possessed them or any of them. But the less of personal
greatness or influence he could boast of, the better was
he fitted to answer the expectations of his adherents.
Whatever he may turn out to be hereafter, we can only
Judge of him at present as the delegate or instrument
of the passions by which he has been thus strangely
raised into this conspicuous position. As such, then,
sve must remark with no ordinary concern, that with
the single exception of the tariff question, on which
he is pledged to a more liberal commercial
policy than his opponent, his election to this im-
portant office is the triumph of everything that
is worst over every thing that is best in the
United States of America. It is a victory gained by
the south over the north—by the slave states Over
the free—by the repudiating states over the honest
ones—by the partisans of the anrexation of Texas
over its opponents—by the adventurous and unscru-
pulous democracy of the new states, and the foreign
population in those states, over the more austere and
dignified Republicanism of New England, No one in
Europe has failed to observe the rapid decline of the
United States in public morality and in public estima-
tion, in their policy and their principles as a nation, and
in all that renders a people permanently strong and
prosperous, during the last few years, and more especially
during the accidental administration of Mr. Tyler. The
death of General Harrison was indeed in more ways than
one a national, and more than a national, calamity ; but
we had not ceased to entertain the hope that the party
which brought him into office four years ago would now
be strong enough to carry Mr. Clay's election. It ap-
pears that the evil has already gone too far. By pander-
ing to the passions of the populace, Mr. Tyler has not
only let loose, but instigated the worst tendencies of de-
mocracy. To his treaty with Texas, which drove Mr. Van
Buren from the field, Mr. Polk may be said to owe his
election. Until that question had been brought forward,
the name of Polk was unknown except at Almack's. The
Whig candidate has perished in the attempt to stern
This fierce current of misdirected popular excitement.
The Whig party have been beaten, when everything
depended on the possibility of restoring moderation and
probity to the Government of the country by their in-
fluence ; and it is scarcely too much to say, that Texas
has already given a President to the Union. If Mr.
Polk adhere to the pledges under which his electors
are likely to raise him to the chair, he is pledged to a
foreign war. The grounds on which General Jackson
and his friends have given their support to Mr. Polk
are before the world ; and we have already combated
their arguments and their assumptions. They amount
to the s:rongest expressions of hostility against the sup-
posed
influence and designs of Great Britain on the
North American continent ; and either the means they
have used to gain the popular suffrages are as insincere
as they are false, or they hold that the acquisition of
Texas, by arms, if necessary, is the first duty of a Pre-
sident of the United States. They can hardly escape
from the dilemma in which they stand between excessive
rashness and excessive deceit ; but we cannot expect
that they will have the energy or the power, any more
than Mr. Tyler has had them, to resist or control the
popular excitement which has brought them into office.
It has been observed by the most judicious ob-
server of the institutions of the United States, M.
de Tocqueville, that political parties in America
rally round an individual as the symbol of their own
theories ; and that parties are strongly interested in the
election, not so much with a view to the triumph of
their principles under the auspices of the President elect
as to show by the majority which returned him, the
strength of the supporters of those principles. It must
not be presumed that the success of the democratic
party on this occasion is so complete as at once to have
decided in their favour all the great questions of domes-
tic and foreign policy. If the election of a President
irrevocably decided the policy of a United States Go-
vernment for the next four years, the country would be
not only agitated but convulsed by such a contest.
But the strict limitations imposed by the Constitu-
tion on the power of the chief magistrate, and more
especially the control exercised by the Senate of the
United States over his relations with foreign Powers,
render the triumph less signal and the danger less im-
minent, Be the indiscretion of a President what it
may, he can scarcely plunge the country into war or
confusion as long as the Senate remains faithful to
its trust. What, therefore, we chiefly deplore on the
present occasion is, the defeat of those men who were
most able and most willing to have laboured to restore
the financial and political credit of their country ; who,
if they were unable to shake off the curse of slavery,
would at least have striven to prevent the consequences
of slavery from becoming the guiding and general law of
the public policy of the union ; who would have ab-
stained from repine, maintained peace, and adhered to
the doctrines which once shed honour on the characters
of American statesmen. Clay and Webster are still en-
titled to that name ; but the tune is past when they could
guide the destinies of their country, and by casting them
off in the hour of trial, the people of the United States
have only rendered the vices of their present condition
more conspicuous, and prepared the way for the increas-
ing evils and excesses of their future career.
CHRONICLE.—The Government journals continue
to devote a good deal of their efforts to the circulation of
the fact that the Anti-Corn-law League is dead. There
is quite an extraordinary degree of anxiety manifest in
the repetition of the statement. Now and then, indeed,
we find that " dead" is to be taken as a rhetorical ex-
pression for " dying," for it cannot be concealed that the
monster still moves, although, by all the rules of art, it
ought to have been stiff and cold long ago. Thus we
were informed a couple of days ago, that the League was
at the last gasp of its wicked existence, and might
therefore be permitted to escape the legal punishment
due to so foul a conspiracy. It so happens that this
decaying association was then, and is at the present
moment, carrying on a new and vigorous agitation in
Lancashire, the spirit of which sufficiently appears in the
proceedings at the Rochdale meeting, reported in the
Chronicle of Saturday. Mr. Cobden and his friends are
in the right track when they endeavour to make an im-
pression on the county constituencies. So far as opinion
I goes, an immense progress has been already made.
The confidence of the farmers in the continuance
of the corn-law, which was a main source of its
strength, has been everywhere shaken, and in a large
proportion of cases wholly destroyed. Whether
protection be good or bad, men have ceased to rely on
it. Nearly everybody thinks that sooner or later it must
go. This uncertainty has provoked numbers to examine
into the merits of the principle, who took them for •
granted before, and such examination rarely ends in
confirming the errors which preceded it.. The more
clear-headed amongst the farmers are persuaded in their
heart of hearts that a clean sweep of the corn-law, and
a corresponding adjustment of rents, would leave them
infinitely better off than they are at present. But many
things conspire to prevent such men from speaking out,
and still more from acting upon their real opinions. The
power of their landlords, the terms of existing contracts,
framed with reference to supposed protection prices, and
the disagreeable consequences of opposing prejudices in
their own class, concur to prevent a direct movement
amongst the more enlightened farmers in favour of free
trade. Thus the faith in protection and the desire for
its continuance may be, to a great extent, undermined
without altering many votes at county elections, and, of
course, without changing the character of the county
representation. Under such circumstances, the question
presents itself whether there is any
necessity for leaving
the county representation everywhere,
.
as fails practi-
cally, in the hands of a class so dependent on theland-
lords ; and it is obvious that no such necessity exists in
counties containing a large manufacturing
whitinthe
population.
i
The forty-shilling county qualification
reach of many who could hardly obtain any other fran-
chise. Mr. Cobden has shown how this qualification
may be obtained, and how, by means of it, a new and
valuable class may be added tothe constituences of such
a county as Lancashire. It is not uncommon foryidus-
trious operatives to accumulate enough for the purchase
