BALTIMORE AND OHIO RAIL
ROAD.

The Baltimore American says:--We under
stand that although the Railroad to Hancock has
only been opened week, the travel between
Baltimore and the Ohio has increased more than
fifty per cent. as is fully shown from the receipts
both by the Rail Road Company and the several
stage lines from Hancock west. Travellers, in
stead of taking the route through Pennsylvania
now ind it more advantageous and less tatigu-
ing to pass through Baltimore on their route to
the Eastern cities,

! The cry of the loco focos against the Banks is
| getting stale. 1t has proved to be hypocrtlca
and selfish. The whig party, while they have
| been the advocates of sound currency, have
never made themselves the apologsts of the err
rors in the Banking system; they have only strIg-
gled to prevent the universal ruin Of the banks
inasmuch as that would involve the ruin Of thou
sands of honest and industrious people. The To-
focos, however, have for years persisted IN the
| war cry against tie Banks, although they do not
hesitate to acknowledge that large majority OF
the Banks were created by them.

time the worst? The Girard Bank, the pet bank

contrary to the wishes Of the entire wing party

might also name the Bcrks county Bank from

We find in of the Democratic papers much
praise bestowed South Carolina, Alabama Vr-

States against the distribution of the proceeds of the
public lands The praise is justly due; but is not
Georgia to participate IN The citizens of Georgia
are prone TO talk much of themselves II Is well
known that great and critical occasions they take
counsel from nobody, they act and then they talk, If
there is any talking to be done. In the Cherokee
controversy, they acted first ind then agreed to talk
In the case of 1asses, they wanted Georgia to talk
first. But Tassels was hung and then Georgia said
now let talk about the matter" In the of
the missionaries, they wanted Georgia to talk first
But those miss onaries put in the Penten,iary

ter. About this subject of Distribution, Georgia has
made no fuss But has she acted? Yes; she has
acted and she has MT acted AT the last session of
the Legislature, the following resolution adopted
by both branches and sanctioned by the Governor:
Rcsolred, That our Senators in Congress be in
sructed and Representatives requested, to vote

ton Bill.
