and was received with all the enthusiasm
his character and services deserve. A Sig

Mount Auburn he was met by the Mayor

him in an appropriate speech, to which Mr.

MR.. WEBSTER, AT ANDOVER.

The Essex Wing meeting at Andover con-
sisted of numerous delegates from every town
81 the County-the whole assembly consisting
ii nearly 5000, in % beautiful little amphithe-
i.:re,' stage being erected for the speakers.
YIN. Stephens of Andover, presided. Ad-
dresses were made by Mr.. Stephens on taking
the chair, and the Hon. S. c. Philips of Salem
when Mr.. Webster was introduced, and spoke
r.nrly two hours. The Lowell Journal, de-
ci,led Henry Clay paper, having run up bis
flag from the beginning, thus handsomely
saeaks of the address. We hope, hereafter
10 see no more disparaging illusions 10 Mr..
W. in thu wing papers. This work should
forever have been left TO what is called " the
dcmocrrcr."
Mr.. Webster then came forward TO the
front of the stage, and was received with great
enthusiasm by the vast concourse of people,
There could not have been less than five thou
slnd present. A body Of men, we venture to
sag, for responsibility and sterling worth
could not be excelled by any body Of men III
siristendom. They were indeed the ''.fo'nI
Of ESSer."
MIR. Webster commenced his speech by
saying that in the remarks he was about 10
make, he should not have TO do with the pol
itics of the State. He said the people under
stood those matters very well already. The
Legislature CT Massachusetts, the present
year. was not Of the character which would
commend itself to the people of this State

If a character unknown TO her, and which her
Icople would not put up with for another
year. Fur the election of GEORGE n.
BRIGGS and JOHN REED he went with
his whole heart. Here he was interrupted
with immense cheering.
Mr.. Webster then went into the discussion
Of national matters, such as National Cur
rency, Tariff. Bank, and so forth. We have
not time to 20 into an abstract of his speech,

RAILRoADs.-Al the Vermont charters for
rail roads will he unavailable, should New
Hampshire perseverc in her radical policy, ex-
cept running round her, via Mortified, &c. a
bend of sjine 30 miles to reach Otter Creek,
Or Whitehall. But we have now no fears on
that score. The subject has been brought
home, and the mistaken policy tested. We
doubt whether twenty members of the House,
10 he chosen in March next, will be found I'M
willing to provide for the hard cases, by sub
hitting them to an impartial jury, or making
other satisfactory provisions, without which
charter for any rail road would be in vain.

THE RAIL ROAD.

All the world east Of US is awake on this
subject and would il not be well that we
bestir ourselves in the mntter. Burlington
seems to be regarded as the natural termin
alton for either route, while there is room
for some diversity of opinion as 10 which is
the most feasible route, and which the more
serviceable to the public. That the stock
for one or the other will be shortly taken
up, we have the strongest reason for be-
lieving, and hence we regard prompt action
BY those having an interest in the matter,
as all important. The fact is not 10 be dis
guised that, with US public sentiment pre-
poCderates in favor of tie southern route,
as dividing the state 10 better advantage,
while the northern section from this 10 Rut
land would accomplish the double purpose
of an eastern and southern thoroughfare,
and of course be vastly more productive 10
the stockholders than it could Otherwise be.
The Whitehall and Saratoga road will be
shortly completed, and with connecting
link from Rutland TO Whitehall. Vermont
would then have an uninterrupted commu-
nication from the most central point on
Lake Champiain 10 Boston and New York,
and thus have her choice in the markets.
There is probably not much difference be-
tween the routes in point of distance though
the Keene Sentinel asserts it as an ascer-
tanned fact that the Southern route is 10
miles shorter than the route through Con-
cord, Lebanon and Montpelier. But these
things are all TO be taken consideration, and
now is the time.
