CoNooRD AND BosToN RAIL ROAR. We learn
from the ". II. Statesman that renewed effort IS
To be made TO enrry on the enterprise begun some
time ago, in building the road from Nashua to Con-
cord, N. Fl. The contemplated road we believe
affords as fair prospect Of remuneration as any in
New England, and il ascertain that it would prove
very beneficial to the northern country trading with
Boston. It would bring the most remote parts of
Vermont and New Hampshire within about twenty
four hours ride of Boston More than one half of
the surplus products of the three northern Counties
of this State are now carried to Portland, most of
which would be turned to Boston, were this road
opened no farther than Concord. The principal
obstacle in the way present., is that powerful
corporation at Amoskeag, TO which considerable
pa,t of the benefit will accrue, is unwilling to bear
any of the burden unless they can have separate
charter for their portion Of the road
We hope that the energies of The people inter-
ested will become fairly enlisted in this enterprise,
and that it will be continued immediately 10 Con
cord and as soon as practicable further north Even
though it should stop at Concord for the present,
it would have a decidedly favorable eflectuPon the
agricultural interest within a hundred miles of its
termination.

FROM WASHINGTON.

We copy the following remarks upon men and
things at Washington, from Bennet's letter of tho
Goth.
The President lives in the most exclusive way !;
for all the world like proud English lord in his
castle. Forsyth, Paulding and Ponsett, all old
wthered handles, with more hauteur than sense,
form his exclusive companions. They amuse them
sely 90 with playing whist and looking at French
prints of beautiful young women. in picturesque at
titudes Neither Of them will die of virtue or pat
riotism.
What contrast between the life of these men at
cards, and General Harrison at the plough tail =
The q old battered dandy" OF Kinderhook, as nice
as if he had just come out of a band box-and the
old granny" of Ohio, tending his cattle and feed
ing his poultry
A few days ago, l saw Gen. Duff Green in Bal
more. Sir said he, MIR Calhoun, by has coali-
ton with Mr. Van Barren, has lost his moral inhu-
ence, and, in my opinion, Gen. Harrison will be e.
lected." was very much surprised to find such
opinions such quarter.
From every fact, inference, and opinion l can
hear gather, there be no question but the
Opposition can elect Harrison if they will come 10
the polls as they did in 1887 and 81. They have
the v,tes, and mistake, the returns will show
The administration here are beg inning to get a.
larmed at the prospect of things.

States voted for the gag.

Down With HARRIsos, is the cry raised by tho
Free Trade Coalition of Van Buren, and John C.
Calhoun. The Richmond Enquirer, the leading
Van Buren, paper at the South appeals to its party
to 20 for Van Buren, in preference TO Harrison, and
gives the following opinions expressed by Harrison
as reasons why the South should not support him.
The Enquirer says:
His opinions on the TARIFF--General Harris
ons support or tariff for protection has been uni
loIm. A few instances and n little authority must
suffice.
He capped the climax of voting for the last high
Tariff Of 1929; and under no duress from any IN
structons from the Legislature of Ohio.
| In June, 1921 he delivered speech IN ONO, In
which he says:
"It has been uniformly asserted by the opponents
of the Tariff, that the establishment of manufacto
res here would destroy the markets of our produce
abroad. But when bus it been; that any foreign
now er " ould take from any article but from ne
/ csssiiy? When they have no bread of their own
| raising, they receive our flour. AT present, We
have two markets; one at home, which we have
created ourselves, and the other abroad, which
circumstance has given us IT we had not created
a home market, and if circumstances had not crea'
ted one for us abroad, we should have no market
for our products, and they would now be rotting on
our hands, as they were a few years since. be-
lieve that one OF the evils which were predc-
ted from the Tariff have happened, and that not one
of the advantages which were promised from it, but
have been realized; and nothing but the folly of a
hardening it, can bring us back to the hard times
through which we have passed.
r In addition to the above, the same paper goes on
10 declare Harrison to be man Of Northern feelings
IAN ubolitonist-and that he would, if he possess
ed the power, liberate all the slaves Of the South
II then asks, with air OF triumph, twill the peo-
plo of Culpepper Country support Harrison?" The
Enquirer then proceeds to set forth the claims OF
Van Buren, -cas him man of Southern feelings
. favorable to Southern interests-and quotes his
Veto pledge prove that he is favorable TO slave
, ry. We ask, will the people of tho north support
such man

"The Hard Cider Candidate" Gen. Harrison is
called by some of the administration papers. We
were puzzled to understand this term, until day
or two since, we discovered the explanation in a
letter from a traveller who called upon the General
at North Bend. The traveller with the General
sat down to dinner, and pitcher of cider set
upon the table-a beverage with which the General
treats his friends. 1t IS with his purse proud
opponent, MIR Van Buren--he treats his friends, It
is said, with Champaigne-a beverage that costs
l and SD quart. He can afford TO do 1.-THE has
been paid from the pockets of the people at least
800, OOO-besides "privileges at the draw" Har-
rison is a farmer-and, probably, like most farmers
makes his own cider, and treats such of his friends
with glass at dinner choose to take it, We
shall not reject him on this account.

GREAT GATHERING OF THE PEOPLE IN
INDIANA.

We have not room to admit of copying the full
account of this immense meeting holden at the
Capitol OF the State the 10th of January. Be
low we give the order of the procession, from
which the reader may judge of the enthusiasm of
the West for the man they know so well. This
enthusiasm pervades all parties-Whigs and Van
Burenism No less than 500 Of the delegates were
among the old Jackson party. The people of the
country IA, G getting sick OF Van Burenism-nnd are
ralying for the honest old Hero.
AT half past nine in the morning, the Marshal

FOR THE SPECTATOR.

Mr.. Editor-On looking over your last pa
per, was sorry to find that no notice had
been taken of the last examination of the pu-
pills of kalorama. had expected that some
one Of the other persons who witnessed the
proficiency of the pupils in their respective
classes, would have given to the public who
feel interested iii the cause Of education, a de-
tailed account OF an examination which so
fully sustained the high character which
kalorama has so long and so desc-vedly en-
joyed. But in this was disappointed. The
political eNcitcmeit which pcrva.lcs our
land appears to have 50 completely absorbed
the attention Of our community that to me is
left the agreeable duty to acknowledge to the
distinguished lady, who has so long and so
ably conducted that Institution, the gratiiica-
ton which the close, rigid and impartial ex-
animation of her school gave to the public.
The promptncss and accuracy with which
the young ladies' answered the uuesti ,ns
which the persons present propounded to
them reflect great credit both upon themselves
and upon their teachers. The examination
closed with concert of vocal and instru-
mental music, which, for exactness to time,
and beauty of style, have never heard sur
passed by any female seminary. The teacher
deserves great credit, not only for the skill
with which her pupils performed, but for the
scientific taste displayed in the selection and
arrangement of the pieces.

BEWARE OF FALSE R1JMouRs

We have seen it intimated, that just upon
the eve of the election, the report is to be cir
culated in every corner of the country, that
Genl. Harrison is dead. Let the Wings be
upon their guard.
MIR. ID. +. Butler, late Attorney General,
has promised an exposition about the middle
OF Oct, which would cause Gen. Harrison no
Longer to be seriously considered Candidate
for the Presidency. So saws New York
paper. Why defer to so late a day so impor-
tant an exposition? Can any other answer
be given, but that it will he too late to con-
tradict it before the election!
Beaoare Of false rumours!

mo CHANGES."-'rhe last Fayette
County pa Democrat contains a commune
cation signed by twenty one citizens of
George township, in that county, former sup
porters of MIR. Van Buren,, in which they de-
clare that, for his many attempts to increase
the Executive power, and for his extravaganza
expenditures Of the public money, they cam
not support him any longer; but are resolved
to use all honorable means to secure the cleo
ton Of Gen. VIM. Henry Harrison, of Ohio.
believing him to be both "honest and capa-
ble."
The Democrat adds, IN authori.y, to the
1901 OF this communication of the t,cenfy-one,
that there are yet large number of voters in
mus same township, heretofore supporters of
MT van Buren, who will give their votes to
Gen. Harrison. "O.K." says the Democrat;
and SO say we. But yet ,Uc hear from the
van buren, papers, that there are ''no chan
ges."
PROGRESS OF OPINION.-The Mad
lsonian of this morning contains letter of
General John p. Van Ness, formerly Chair
man of the Jack son Central Committee, oftbe
District of Columbia, in which he ASSIGNS
reasons why he can no longer support the
powers that be. Taughtby experience, he is
constrained as a friend of his country and her
institutions to go against the spoils admin
| istratlon, and to range on the side of the peo-
pie, under the banner of Harrison and Reform.
The letter of MIR. Van Ness, a veteran of the
old Jackson party, is full of instruction, and
ought to be read, generally, by his late politi-
cal associates. 10 many of them, we doubt
not, it would prove a word oftruth in season.

LOOK AT THIS.

The Christian Witness, the notorious abo
lition organ at Pittsburg, is in extacies at Nh
Van Buren's decision, that negro testimony
shall be received in the Courts of the coun-
try. Hear how it talks
"diortfn Pan Buren, has decided TINT III,
testimony Of colored man shall be taken to The
conviction Of an officer in the United States SER
Uice. Who would have thought that this
northern man with southern principles would
have done such thing l.? Here we seem to
