DIFFERENCE BETWEEN JACK
SONlSM AND VAN BURENISM.

The difference between these two ismS
is daily moro manifest. Every hour
accumuIates proof that General Jackson
cannot transfer his popularity to his favor
tie. Let few facts be stated in evidence.
Tennessee, which was nearly unanimous
Tor Gen. jackson himself, declines to be
transferred to his fnyOrle.
North Carolina four years ago contained
Jackson majority of fully 10000. She
hns just renounced the favorlte by major
ity OF 1000.
Alabama was even more unanimous for
Gen. Jackson than Tennessee. So was
Mississippi. so was Indiana. All three
nrG opposed to Van Buren,.
The Jackson majority of Pennsylvania
was $4,000. 1t is believed that General
Harrison will carry that State. The ma
iority, if not annihlated, is reduced to a
mere handful.
In Ohio, tho Jackson majority was
about 10000 ilarrison's majority, ut the
lowest computation will be 10000, di fer

" IL is now for the majority Of the people
to decide whether the measure referred to

junction of extraordinary circumstances

The tunnel of the Harlem Railroad, six
miles from the City of New York, is one
of the greatest works of excavation ever
attemptGd'in this country. tits cut through
solid rock, six hundred feet, with m arch
ten feet high. Thirteen months have been
spent in getting the excavation through, the
laborers working night and day. All this
has been done, and some SS00,000 eXpend-
ed Oh the road, merely to construct Il rail-
way Of some ten or twelve miles, TO convey
passengers to Harlem for pleasure. The
object seems wholly inadequate to the eX-
pense, but the stock will PROFESSIONALLY be
productive. In process of time, HRrlem
will fill up with the shops and residences
of mechanics, men of business, and others,
who can hold an easy communication with
the city.
The Schuylkill Tunnel, the next large
excavation under ground, is four hundred
feet long and ten high, and cost the labor
of eight months, working night and day.
No person can folm any conception of
the astonishing growth of the city of New
York, but by actual inspection. What
were vegetable farms, a few years ago, a
long distance from the centre, are now the
handsomest built and most fashionable
streets and places in the city. The taste in
building is greatly improving, and i'll many
sections of the city, in private dwellings,
is in the best style of architecture.--BoStOn

OPINIONS OF A MEMBER OF CON
GRESS,


A northern gentleman now in this city,
lately travelled with distinguished south
ern member of Congress, in steam boat,
and heard him give his views of the great
exciting topic of the day,-an slavery
lie inquired into the statistics of the Anti
Slavery Society, and remarked, that he
was not surprised at the facts made known
to him. "I4et me have them," said he, Sand
1 will read them on the floor of Congress.
Ne haze been deceived by northern members.
They have assured us, that the Ani-Slavery
Society, is contemplate in point of numbers
and influence. | thought differently when
saw that they raised SO large SUN of
money, with SO little apparent effort, and
what have now learned satisfies Inc that
the southern members have been imposed
upon. When see men giving their mon
ey SO freely, | believe them to he honest in
their opinions, and when ! see so much
given | am alarmed ut the prevalence of
these doctrines. We must have Texas,
aud new slave states, or we are gone.-
Some sheer at boys signing petitions. j am
not of that number, and had rather see the
signature of an old man of seventy Than II
boy of seven. The old man will soon die,
but the boy will remember the petition.
When | see the signature of "A boy TO pc
tition for abollshing slavery in the District
of Columbia, it reminds me of the father OF
Hannibal, bringing his son before the altar,
and making him swear eternal hatred to the
Romans. tel you, sir, we have been de-
ceived by your members of Congress. -
