THE ERIE RAIL RoAD-ERE CAsAL-A depu-
tation has been sent from Wall street to Albany for
the purpose Of inducing the Legislature to adopt
the Erie Rail Road, and take il kindly out of the
hands OF certain parties who have been unable to
make handsome speculation out ofits stock
We trust the Legislature will do such thing.
The whole Of this measure is an insdious eMent
against the enlargement of the Erie Canal and the
construction Of continuous rail road frsm New York
to Buffalo, through Albany, Utica, Auburn and Roch-
ester. s
The great noise made by certain stockholders in
Wall street about the spring trade and the adyan-
tages Of the Erie Rail Road, proceeds from private
interest and speculation. Such also is the clamor
against the enlargement of tho Erie Canal These
spectators would sacrifice the real interests of the
state to their greedy, avarcious purposes. The
route proposed for the Erie Rail Road is mpraetica
BILE, unnatural, and visionary The only natural route
of internal connection between the lakes and the At
lantic is that of the Erie Canal This roste passes
through all our popular towns villages and counties
Already the rail road is nearly half pleted- and
all we require is the line to Albany and that from
Syracuse to Buffalo
In relation to the widening Of the canal it would be
the worst policy in the world to stop that great
work, cost what it may merely to crafty tbs clamor
of few stockholders in Wall street. We trust the
legislature will do such thing-and if Governor
Seward and his friends permit themselves be inu-
enced by the "clique" this point, he will find his
accounts balanced the other side ere two years
are over

A DEMOCRATIC WIG.

A Democratic Wing is an honest man. an
honest lover of his country, and an honest lover
Of every thing that assists i'm sustaining his co,r-
try's greatness. He is believ in the bold and
broad doctrine, that the people are the legitimate
source of all government power-anG he, there
fore, is who can never kindly consent to see
the will OF the many set at naught by the igno-
rance or the duplcity ofthe few. The happiness
of mankind is the only political end he aims at.
lie bows not at the foo,stool of arbitrary power
he is never seen to cringe beneath the sceptre
of despot. Democratic Wing believes not
in the 'Divine right of Kings He admits of no
moral or political superiority, saving and except
ing the superiority of virtue and talent. He
is no time server, natlerer, fawner, no
bower of the knee to royalty. FIe is philan-
thropist, a genuine lover Of his Species one who
does not believe that the rest Of nank ind are his
interiors, and less entitled TO happiness than
himself. He is always ready to promote the
advancement of civilization, because he believes
it to be peasanter state of human society than
that of barba rism. He is friend TO the credit
system, because he knows that credit and con-
fdence are inseparahle from state OF civiliza-
ton. The spirit of Loco Focoism he abhors,
from the simple fact that his reaxon warns him
that its practical result must he violence, anarchy
and degradation. II matters not where WING
is born. Like our own glorious Washington he
lives for mankind, and is the property of the
human family. Wherever. in any human breast,
exist the soni, the fire, the benevolent impulses,
that inspired the Fathers OF our Revolution, there
exists Democratic Wing. He Is never rfigtt-
ened. Tyranny cannot scare hum from the path
way of his duty, more than the Establishments
of power can corrupt him into servity. He is
always fixed in his purpose-whether ramming
his cartridge Bunker Hill or deposting his
vote in the Ballot box. He looks neither to the
right nor the lett. He fires his mu sket plump
in the face ofhis country's foe, and he votes
down the demagogues OF his neighborhood
He never temporizes with political turpitudc.
He will war to the death, under the banner of
his country but he asks no other price for his
patriotism thanthe augmentation of bis country's
prosperity and the perpetuhy Of his counry's
glory. Such Isl Democratic Wing.

the first chapter Of the second Episte of Peter.
After reading the 10th verse, he stopped TO make
some comments. The verse reads as follows =
"Wherefore, the rather, brethren, give diligence
to make your calling AMI election sure" &c
In reading it he left out the comma after the
word rather, and evidently understood the word
brethren in the third person instead of the sec

that these rather BRETHREN he supposed, were
