res with grea, zeal, especially the secre-
tary of State, against whom MIR Benton
had made the imputation called for by
him, because it would reflect upon his
character, as he made proposition for
compromise TO the British Negoliator
which he knew the country would never
tolerate or countenance. Mr.. Choate
denied that he had made any such pro-
position; and said the information called
for had been refused. because it was dee
med incompatible with The public interest
to communicate it,
Mr.. Choate proceeded then TO a gene
raj course of argument against the bill.
After he concluded, the Senate, without
taking any question adjourned.

BosToN AND CINCINNATI A Cincin-
natl paper says: When the Sandusky
railroad is finished, Cincinnati will be
within three days of Boston. From Gin
cinnaIi to the Lake, the distance may be
accomplished easily in sixteen hours, a
magnificent steam packet will the receive
the passengers and transport them TO
Buffalo in twenty hours, and from Buffalo
to Boston they will go by railroad, say
in thir,y-four hours; the whole distance
from Cincinnati to Boston requiring only
seventy hours. Does this prediction
slar,le any one? In few years it will
pass into history, and be regarded as a
very common place fact.

lCF Perhaps the leading article in the Demo-
crat of last week deserves some notice.
That part of 1t in which he says lhat paying the
amount due by the state on the first of March
next, will leave tho people with but one fourth
Of the money they at present possess, betrays a
want of financial knowledge which his humblest
reader cannot fail to detect By the showing Of
his argument our State and the United States,
would long ago have been left without a dollar
He forgets that an efIlux, is always followed by
an influx.
His second paragraph is black with the tincturc
ofrepudiaton. That doctrine has no home in
the breasts or the heads of honest men; wo know
that the editor Of the Democrat is not repudi-
ator, and we cannot divine why he wrote that
paragraph.
But says he, the people of Maryland shave
been impoverished by the corrupt and venal le-
gistaton of the Wing party" In saying that
this assertion is utterly untrue, we do not bear
more heavily upon him, than the assertion itself
bears upon us. If he mean that the wings are
the authors Of Of the state debt (and we can at
taeh no other meaning to his words) he is eth
er ignorant of the facts, or willingly misrepre-
sent5 them.

They will tell him further that majority of the
locofocos in tho Legislature always went for IN
ternal improvements, and that f"our citizens"
should take his advice, and hurl from Office "all
who have aided in involving the state in her
