The Rail Road between this City and shc
Lakes.


That there ought to be continuous line of rail road
between this city and the great northern lakes, no
one doubts for nstant but that it woald be des-
rabe to run the line of the rail road through the
southern tier of counties in this state, (as cosempla
ted BY the projectors of the New York and Erie Rail
Road) no sane, SOBER honest mar, for a moment
believes The disadvantages Of pursuing this route
would be as great as the advantages accrung from
rail road hence to Buffalo, through Albany.
We perceive, however, that the spectators in
Wall street again at work to force this project
upon the public. They beginning as usual, to
stimulate the southern tier Of counties to make de
nonsrations, and hold meetings. to effect their OBJ
ject; and under the cry of party, induce the state
to take their mseraby bad bargains and speculations
off their hands All the movements we see making
and about TO be made at Newburgh and other places
In relation TO this matter, only part and parcel of
the system OF organization set foot by clique of
spectators in Wall street, 10 carry out their own
personal objects.
All the time, however, expended BY the public for
the promotion Of the New York a.d Erie Rail Road,
called, lost, well the labor. The plan that
is feasible, profitable, and easy of completion is
elected for that is wild and visionary. The only
rail road that is really wanted between New York
and the Lakes is the completion of the line already
far advanced by way Of Albany. Let how
stands this great work Of the Northern line Of Rail
Road from the City Hall, New York, TO Buffalo.

this species Of swndling in which too many scoun-

This oppressive duty has thus lar been Submitted
to because of the American vessels visiting there but
very few understood the nature OF the exacion. The
English did not interfere because the proceeds
emoluments Of the British crown; and Hamburg had
not the power to interfere, although her trade
suffering severely from its operation. On the death
of William Nv Hanover became detached from the
British crown; and movements now making in
Hamburg do away with the imposition by appealing
to the English trader no longer interested in the
plumber. We have received pamphlet, ably writ
ten the subject, setting forth this arbitrary man
ner of levying taxes in its true light. This also
auires the of those in this country whose
interests in the trade have also severely suffered by
the imposition.

Here, then, is a matter for close consideration.-
The early and late transportation Of bread sturs, do
mestcs, and merchandise Of all kinds, will naturally
seek Boston for the closing Of the Erie Rail Road,
10 the 10th Of April, five months in the year, unless
we have a rail road direct to Albany. The direct
communication from England to Boston by means Of
English steam ships will add TO the advantages Of the
Buffalo, Albany and Boston Rail Road and thus place
Massachusetts in most spviable position. Are the
interests Of the people Of this great city to be sacr
ced to the interests Of clique Will oar citizens

We trust friends throughout the far west and
south will take warning, and avoid all such paper
Kenmore COOPER AND WATsoN WEBB.-We
beg pardon for mentioning these two names in one
breath. "The king spoke to me-" said the big whis-
kered loafer. ~The devil he did-what did he sayf"
'"He told me to get out Of his way he would
kick me out Of it, And thus it is with the juxta-
position of Fenimore Cooper and Watson Webb.
The late verdict obtained by Cooper has alarmed
Webb, over whose shoulders hangs an Indictment
disclosing to him curious view Of the penitentary
at a much shorter distance than was expected. In
order to quiet these natural alarms, Webb out
in his paper yesterday, and endeavsrs like the boy
crossing the moor, to whistle the evil spirit away
by feeble attempt to be witty and severe on the
father Of Cooper, because he was a mechanic. But
poor Webb's efforts at wit and sarcasm some
thing like his efforts to punish Duff Green with q
percussion lock and mahogany stock-"no CO." The
trial of Webb, for malicious libel Cooper, will
come up in September next-and doubt exists Of
his conviction and his chance to partake Of the hos
FATALITIES Of Blackwes Island along side Of George
w ashington Dixon. Dixon shaves the inmates-and
Webb, for he has been taught the art in Wall
street.
Seriously, however. il ever any person was libel
led, reckessly, malicisasly, violently and furousy
we must say that Fenimore Cooper was that person
and that Watson Webb the gross and audacious
perpetrator In that instance, Webb far outstrip
ped Dixon in any of his ibels-for the preparation
of which he now suffers Blackwelps Island-as
the "Courier & Enquirer is larger in its dimen-
sons than the "Polyanthos." This libel was
ushered into the world under the de guerre Of
criticsing novel-but instead Of the critic combining
his remarks to its fictitious personages, Webb had
the vulgar brutality to invade the private sanctuary
of Cooper and to ridicule and assa his father, be-
cause that father was a mechanic. Cooper's family
did belong to the challenging, fighting, "shater-
ing right-arms" class Of society.
The motive fer such libellous attack never
could divine, unless il was prompted BY Paulding,
former ly a writer for the columns Of the Courier,
who has a corrodng Jealousy Of the superior genius
Of Cooper. Ne doubt several of Cooper's works
tame and i.sipid-unworthy Of his genius and his
fame-but the spots in the sun cannot detract from
the general brillancy Of the luminary Of day. As
truly original genius, Cooper stands at the head Of
the literature Of this country.
