GEN. CAST appears that our late ambassador
to France, who has recently returned 10 this coun-
try, is talked of in circles, as a candidate for
the office of President of the United States. While
Gen. Cass was in New York, recently, the Hon.
Mahon Dickerson, addressed letter to him, en-
quirng if the suspicion true that he was friend
ly to United States Bank. Gen. Cass, in reply
says, "With respect to National Bank, think the
feelings and experience of the country have deci-
ded against it, and that such institution should
be chartered by the General Government. Dick
crson and Cass, it will be recollected, were fellow.

rITCHBuRG RAIL RoAn-

At a meeting of the citizens of Brattleboro held
at Wheecrs Hall, OH Friday evening, Odd inst, for
the purpose of giving expression to the feelings of
this community with regard to the prosecution aud
completion of the Fi,chburg Railroad, Col. Paul
Chase was called TO the Chair, and II. S. Moves,
Esq appointed Secretary.
Alvah Crocker, Esq, of Fitclburg, Muss., l.. G..
Mead, J. ID. Bradley, Jno. r. Blake, and other zen.
tlemen of this place and vicinity, addressed the
meeting, showing in lucid and happy manner not
only the praccabity of the proposed rail road. and
its vital importance to this section of New England,
but that considered as stock investment il was
safe and profitable one, after which the following
resolutions were unanimously adopted:
Resoircd, That we have admired the emulation in
enterprize of the two great rival markets of the
Northern States, Boston and New York, but we
have looked with wonder the fact that either Of
them should have regarded the trade of the valley
of the Connecticut, as so unnportant in amount,
safely secured to itself as 10 be deserving OF
neglect
Rcsoired, That it is high time we should have
some market opened TO our produce, and that some
means should he adopted of putting our productions
on an equal footing with their western competitors,
and we can other hope left to the industry of
Vermont than the chance OF obtaining n communi-
cation by steam with one of these markets
ReSoired, That we see in the Fitchburg Railroad
the germ of an enterprise which is at any rate aim
cd in the right direction, and which trust is des-
tined, at some future, but distant day. TO be the
outlet of trade which Boston once valued, and
ought not so long 10 have forgotten.
RcSoired, That these not the days of rash
speculation, and for that reason the present is the
safest and best time for enquiry whether the
evils which Cypress this part OF New England are
TO be rcmediless and perpetual.
ReSoired, That if the Fitchburg Railroad were
extended to this place. it would be the means OF
uniting in perfect harmony all the interests of our
State, that it would furnish direct outlet TO a
route up the Connecticut valley, or to any branches
into the heart of the State, or 10 n communication
with Lake Champain at Whitehall, Vcrgennes or
Burlington-and inasmuch as union is strength, II
is our duty to cheer an enterprise which is cal
culatcd to bind us together in preference TO listen
ing 10 any counscs which will divide us.
ReSOircd, That our citizens cannot be too prompt
or too cordial in their response 10 the friends OF the
Fitchburg Railroad. 1t isa well concerted and well
directed effort.

Something like year since, this Gentleman Wis

viewed his wild project We looked at him then
with that sort of compassion for his infrmtcs
(deeming him little less than mad with which We
view the Insane inmates of our Asylum, who are
occasionally seen in our streets. But he has just
left us with very different feelings. After having
heard him through at two Public Meetings of our
citizens, and cross-questioncd him TO hearts

Ole "method in his madness" Facts are stubborn

not only the most feasible of construction of any
leading out of Boston, but the Stock promises TO be
one of the most valuable. At any rate, many Of
our citizens have subscribed for il, and we believe
Us not thought we have many men amongst us
who are in the habit ofthrowing away their money.
1t is now settled, we learn, that the Road will he

there. Our beliefs the next section will be from

give the reasons of our faith as well views of
the advantages of such Road TO our village and
the country about us.
