world. Such is emphaticallv the WHIG PoLIcT
of New-Y ork-thc policy of prosecuting complet-
ing and thriving BY the unfinished and chaotic
Internal Improvements, which in their infancy
have done SO muc! for the welfare and glory Of
our State.
Full tabular statements are given in the Report,

policy Of vigorous prosecution sooner than they
will be completed under the Loco-Foco system OF
going forward only so far as the annual income OF
the Works themselves will dciray all expenditures.
We ask for this lucid and gratifying exhibit the

BORIS on UPsHUR.-Hon. John NJ. Bots has
published letter Of four columns in the National
Intelligencer, in support Of his assertion that the
present Secretary of the Treasury, Hon. Abel 7. Up
| shur, has been an avowed and strenuous advocate
of an immediate Dissolution of the Union. o
prove this he cites Mr.. Philip Harrison, rcspcc-
table citizen of Richmond who details at length
! conversation ne IlSlcNcu 10 unu Sli!tSl III on Il
James River steamboat between Judge p. p Bar
bour, Mr.. Upshur Mr.. Bolts, and several other
eminent Virginians, wherein Mr.. Upshur ardently
maintained, in opposition to Ncs<rs. Bolts and
Barbour, that The Union ought 10 be djssolred
Mr.. Harrison ccr;iics that he has heard the same
sentiments expressed by Judge Upshur in CONVEX
satun at Williamsburg and on several other
sioHs, and testitcs that he has heard Secretary Up
shur boast that he was the first man in Virginia who
ran up the flag Of Disunion. Mr.. i. W. John
ston formerly Carolina Nullificr, tcs,iics to SINH
lar sentiments expressed by the Secretary and Mr..
Bolts cites many passages from Mr.. UP.hur'S
writings, all pointing to Dissolution of tlls Union
as the only remedy for existing political evils (in
1886 and for several years aftcrward.
Such is tho case made by Mr.. Bolts. and on It's
face it certainly seems TO put Mr. Upshur in tgll,
place. Mr.. D., however, has published a Card
asking suspension Of the public judgement until
he shall have time to procure rcbuttng testimony.
| 10 Hon DANIEL WEBSTER has recently been
made the subject of most dcpravcd and filthy
libel charging him with gross attempt at scduc-
ti~n or outrage upon the wife Of one of the Clerks
III the State Department. We did not ut first
think proper to refutc or alludc this ntrocious
story, but observing that alluson to it has crcpt
into advertising columns, we deem it proper
to state that the foul fabrication has been rcfuted,
in all its length and breadth, by the solemn ouhs
of Mr.. Webster and of every Clerk in his Depart
mcnt. Tic attention Of Mr.. Webster was called
to the black charge BY Hon. c. a. Wicklc, Post
master General, Mt whose suggestion it was thus
formally and soletnnly refu,cd and the afiidavitS
will first appear in the Louisville Journal, where
the foul SANDER originated. Wo doub, not that
Mr.. Prentice will retractit utterly, and expose its
| malignant author to universal adherence.

TEN OF Protection for American Labor against

with solemn farewell to the scenes OF National
Legislative action in which he has so long shonc,
the delight and the glory of the Union. He will
then resign, and retire 10 his farm in kentucky
