TIE rITcHRuRc RAIL ROAD.

We understand that thirty milss Of the Tiiehburg
Rail Road are under contract fof building. and that
the work Is not orly commenced. but going on rap
idly We learn also that the contract for building
the road this distance is 20 per cent less than the
eost eslimsted BY the Engineer wbo surveyed The
route. Il Is thought that the Rad viii be compile
ted 10 Fitchburg in about year from the PRESENT
time When the road is completed 10 that place,
there will be an immediate effort made, and we
trust a successful one, 10 extend il IN Connecticut
river II viii be for the interest Of Boston, well
as for the valley Of the Connecticut, 10 have the
road extended 10 Vermont a. soon practicable
II is evident 10 every person who understands the
subject that the Agricultural, Manufacturing, and
Commercial interests of this State, demand inn
mediate Rail Road communication with Boston ;
and that Boston is deeply interested in securing
much Of the trade Of Vermont possible. IL is
not yet certain at what point the road will strike the
river. An effort will doubtless be made TO have IL
pass through Keene TO Bellows Falls, by those per-
suns who reside near that route. Then again
others will their influence 10 have il stTke the
river % low down a. Greenfield. These two points
we may regard as the extreme points at which ez-
eriions will be made have the road strike the nv
er. We are not sufficiently acquainted with the
route through Keene 10 express a decided opinion
respecting il but we had supposed that the Surry
hills would be a formidable objection, If not in
surmountable obstacle to that route Then again
il seems 10 Us that Greenfield would be too far
South of the direct line through Fichbuig 10 the
river. II is evident, however that II should strike
the river far south practicable, in order 70 Sc
cure the tiade Of a. large portion Of the valley A.
possible Were II 10 strike the river al Bellows
Fails il would lose the trade Of most Of that porinn
Of Vermont which lies south Of that place, as the
country Is 10 formed moi 10 admit uf good Icads
being made in that direction. The centenng place
Of the business of Windham County, as every one
knows, is this village, and To secure the business Of
the County the road must strike the river above
this place We are Of opinion that tine point al
which the road should strike the river below ratb
er than above US and that one branch will even
tually pass up the Connecticut River 10 indefi-
mite extent, and another The mountain at the
Mount Holly gap, passing up either West River or
Williams River.
However, these matters 10 be settled heresf-
ter. The people in this part Of the State, and Of
this region round about, should awake ., the sub
jet, have survey made, ascertain the best and
most desirable route, and take measures TO have
this great work commenced without delay. Why
mol call Convention at some suitable, central place
TO take this subject into consideration

DEATH OF WAsBIEeroE ALLsToE.--It is
with the most unieigned regret that we an
nounce the death of Washington Allston, Esq.
al his residence, in Cambridge, on Saturday
evening. We understand that he was appa-
rently, In his usual state Of health, and expir-
I'd very suddenly, in a fiji. His fame as
an artist has long since been rendered
one Of the most enviable of any of his coun-
trymen, and is too widely known TO need the
feeble tribute Of our eulogium. As a writer,
MI. Allston has never done himself Justice, but
his Monaldi most clearly proves that had he but
turned his attention TO literature, he would not
have failed 10 have taken The highest rank
among the first OF American authors. His loss
is great one that may not be readily supplied.

Messrs Putnam, proprietors ofthe house. From the

The following letter from our presen,
Chief Magistrate TO the Chairman of the
Wing State Committee was acciden,alIv
omitted in the account Of the proceedings Of
the Convention at RutIand which was puh-
lished in our paper last week.
NoRTHTIELD, May 20, le43.
Dear Sir,-I have so often said and !,
has, thiuk, become so generally known
that ] do not desire again TO be candidate
for the office ! now hold, that il seems Al.
most unnecessary TO make formal declara.
ton Of il yet under the circumstances I
think il my duty TO do so 10 YOU as The
Chairman Of the Wing State Committee
Believing sincerely that the general inter
esis of the State aud country are safer in
the hands Of The Wings than any other mar.
", would not take this step, If deetned
by so doing, ] endangered 10 the least. the
ascendency of those who have bonored me
so highly and treated me 50 kindly. But
there can be no doubt that the party at this
time may be united upon some other person.
and my own business is such as to reoui,e
my constant and undivided attention.
cannot forego this opportunity of e.-
pressing the deep inieres; feel in the pros
perity Of the People Of this State, and of as
suring them that at all times and upon an
occasions shall be ready TO use my feeble
powers TO promote their welfare.

HON. JOHN MATroCKs.

We believe the nomination Of tins gentleman as
candidate for our next Governor has gwen univer-
sal satisfaction To the Wings Of the State. His sck
nowledged talents, his well earned reputation, and
his integrity have secured for him the confidence
Of the people He is tried servant and has not
been found wanting We expected, Of course, that
the party opposed TO him, would find, or make, OBJ
jec,ions TO the man and his principles and acts
We therefore not surprised 10 read the Edto-
rial remarks Of neghbor, the Democrat, of last
week respecting this gentleman. We were how
ever very glad 10 zee that our neighbor obliged
to go back 'ihirty years and MORE to find flaw
in our candidates character. lfbe sOwed all his
avid oats" so long ago as that, and for ''ihirty
years and more, has lived correct moral life, we
think he may by this time be safely trusted. We
like very much the remarks Of our neighbor on the
importance of selecting men for office Of singh
toned moral qualities, aad he may be assured that
will not be behind him in insisting both by pre-.
eePt aud example, on the necessity Of choosing men
for our rulers of singh toned morals" And we
think that "thirty years and more" Of correct
moral life ought to have some weight in deciding
mans character. And il certainly gives US great
pleasure to I've able to say nothing against the
al character Of our neighbours candidate for Cover

IMAoINATIoN.-The great old writer,
Thomas Fuller, relates curious incident,
which is truly characteristic, showing how
fancy will put life into young limbs, and con-
firming the old sdage, that "conceit is as
good as the consumption" A gentleman,
he says, having led company Of children
beyond their usual journey they began 10
be weary and jointly cried to him TO carry
them-which because Of their multitude he
could not do, but he told them he would
provide them with little horses TO ride on
Then cutting little wands out of the hedge
as nags for them, and larger one for him
self, they mounted, aud those who could
scarcely stand before, now full Of mirth
bounded cheerfully home.

Hon. c. TowNsLEY.

O. The effort Of Mr. Tyler to unite him
self with the party who resisted his election
10 the Office Of Vice President is handled
without mittens, in the July number of the
Democratic Review as may be seen from
the following, and much other Of the same
kind.
THE doubts then entertained with regret
have been since very effeciually disspated
by Mr. Tyler himself His recent course in
the particular above alluded to-this system
affixed application Of all the enginery Of Of.
fetal power at his command, towards the
futile absurdity Of his hope for Democrat.
&c RominatIOn-thIs meretricious boldness
with which the smiles and the more subslan-
tial favors Of office are not only granted but
rendered to any Democrat of decent party
standing, who can be found willing to con-
taminaic himself with the disgusiiulness Of
such political prosiration-ihis wholesale
and retail yenalliy of patronage, not only
bestowed at the central depot in the higher
diplomatic bribes for Congressional support
and devotion, but peddIed around the coui-
try wherever a little village postmaster can
be found suspected Of being suspicious as TO
the zeal and sincerity Of his attachment to
the enthusiastically this, we say follow
ing SO closely as il did on the heels Of Mr.
Tylers own recent professions on these very
identical points of political principle, not
only necessarily inspires us with an utter
disgust for his present course Of administra-
ton, and distrust FOR any thing that can
come out of it within the period for which
the country has yet to tolerate it but also
rejecting back upon the past the light its
illustration of the political character the
man who could be capable of it, exhibits
him in an aspect, which compels usto assent
10 the justice OF the least flatiering Of the
portraits recently drawn Of him by all The
orators and editors OF his own quondo@ par
~. IL our language is strong, we confess
that we have lost all patience with the sub
ject of which it speaks"
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1843-07-21

This sentiment was responded 10 BY the
whole audience, in three hearty cheers; az
ter which the audience resolved itself into
the distinct professions Of the different towns
and left the ground in high spirits, all high
ly gratihed with the exercises Of the day.

Al convention OF the friends of Liberty at
Townshend, July 5, is43, the following Preamble
and Resolution were adopted.
Whereas, the position of the two great political
parties is such that their interests parties require
them 10 retain the favor of the Southern States,
and they cannot use any successful political infu-
ence against Slavery and long this is the case
no consistent aboliionists can remain in either,
Therefore, Resoirsd, That il is expedient to form
an independent political organization in this county
In accordance with these views the following
nomination for Senators is presented TO the Liberty
Party in windham County.

A False Repork.--we learn from the Bos.

il was supposed had fallen from ireland to de-

been discovered to be but shadow. The sto-
~ Of his good iorrine has been current in the

EXPLANATION. learn that some Of
our friends have Inexperienced the scope
of our remarks yesterday, in reference to
the proprety of efforts, by the friends Of Mr..
Tyler, 10 organize. We do not mean an or
ganization by them Of separate and indie
pendent party On the contrary, we claim
to belong to the Democratic party, and we
recognize the duty Of conforming TO its
usages, and abiding by the decision of a
fair majority in its conventions. But when
we see the friends Of Mr.. Van Buren,, OF
Mr. Calhoun, of Mr.. Cass, of Col. Johnson,
and Of Mr.. Buchanan, assembling and pro-
claiming their preferences, il seems to us
that the friends Of Mr.. Tyler should, in like
manner, avow their choice, and explain the
high grounds on which they present him 10
the People.
But all this should be done in the genuine
republican spirit. 1t should not be faciious.
II should not be in hostility 10 the great
Democratic party, but in unison with il, and
with the view Of carrying out its great prn-
ciples and insuring its success.--M adisonian.
