RELATIONS WITH ENGLAND.

The Ncw-Yori journal of Commerce makes the
following statement:
"Thcre is a rumor from Washington, coming
through channels likely to be correct, to the fol-
lowing purport viz that the Administration in con
sequence of the new posture of our relations with
England, contemplates sending out an EXtraordi-
nary Minister, charged with the Oregon nagotia-
ton, and also TO propose treaty OF reciprocal Tar
ifs; that the President desires that Mr.. Calhoun
should undertake this mission, and that it is with
this knowledge, and the understanding that Mr.
Calhoun would accept this Spcciu embassy, that
Mr.. Pickens has declined the place OF resident
Minister which was rendered to him.
Mr.. Calhoun is abundanty able, SO far as talents
are concerned, to do justice to this station bnt
worse appointment could hardly be made. Nothing
was ever more absurd in diplomacy than Mr.. Cal
houn's management of the Texas correspondence (;
but what renders his appointment to this station
particularly bad, is the fact that in the Texas cor
respondence he grossly insultod the very govern
ment to which it is said he is now to be sent in an
important crisis, And thcn too, he = the abomina-
tor of all Tariffs, the ultrl FrccTradist, the man
blinded to every fact save that South Carolina rails
es cotton and England buys cotlon--he is to nego-
tate reciprocity Tariffs with England, If Prosi-
dent Polk wishes to open the eyes of his dcludod
partzans in the Tariff States, VIC advise him to
make this appointment.
p. S. The Washington Union contradcts posi-
lively the rumor that the President contemplated
sending Mr.. Calhoun Minister to England TO
settle the Oregon difficulty. This denial, limited
as is 10 single point (hc Oregon question: which
is under discussion at Washington is probably to
be regarded in the main as confirmation of the
| above rlmnr.

70 The Troy and Grecnbush Rail Road was
finished in December last, ,cilom a charter so
onr Rutland friends may see that even New York
crs have way Of doing things when they have a
'cW The Troy Wing speaks of the completion of
rail road to Whitehall as though it were thing
settled. The bill chartcring the OgIcnsburgh rail
road has passed both Houses.
dhe Harlan Company was authorized to extend
their road to Albany, and the Erie road bill was
also passed-in reference to all which the Troy
Wing OF the 10Th says;
"By the time it [the New-York and Albany road
via Harlrm] is completed the Saratoga and White
hall railway should also be in operation; so that
on one day a railway communication of 800 miles
in length could be opened from New York to Lake
Champlan and another of $50 miles from Now
York 10 Lake Eric"
Thus, Notwithstanding the tri1ng consequence
which our Rutland friends have attached to our OBJ
lection that New-York willhp her road, the objec-
ton seems to be based on strong foundation.

road enterprises now claiming the public attention,
there is none which regard with more interest

these reasons was !he superiority of the forejpn

BOSTON AND MONTREAL RAIL ROAD.


We indulge the hope that it will not long be our
duty to labor this subject much as we have done
for the last six weeks. At any rate, for once we
can dismiss the matter with paragraph Inc ch-
gnccr of the Rutland route has made his report
and VIC are sufficiently apprizcd OF It's contents ~
say that it substantially susains all our ah'ioiP''
tons. "Wcstcrn Vermont" however, assures Us
that the so foot wall near Mount Holly eNiSts only
in our IMAGINATION. In turn, VIC assure nm tlat
our st,io,non, was made on the authority of dis
t;rru;sbcd friend of the Rutland route; and the
fact that il is not sustained by the report, is doubt
less owing to the sagacty of the engineer in
choosing different route at the expense OF high
or grade But to return to the survey: our Rut-
land friends have the advantage of 80 miles in dis
lance 10 Burlington, which, however, las we have
heretofore nsistcd may be nearly, If not entirely,
absorbed, by taking the nearest Central route to
Montreal. On the other hand, the grades are even
worse on the Rutland route than we anticipated
not higher, go fcot but of that height for much
longer distance than we had expected On the
other hand, we arc gratfed in being able to say
that the so feet grade the Central route at RoS-
bury is reduciblc to 10 feet. The conclusions from
the survey arc, 1--WE make the statement on the best
nuthority,) that the Central road may be built and
furnished as we'll as the Rutland for $4,000 less per
mile, and may be run as choaply and as quick, so
that practically the increase of distance, allowing
it to be even the very greatest claimed by the op-
ponents of the Central is absolutely an advantage,
inasnuch as it opens wider field for business and
travel.
This intelligence of the results of the survey
leads us to hope for an carly and decisive settle
ment of this great Railroad que5tion--and decis-
ion in favor of the Central route. At any rate, we
advise every body who has the means to be ready
to subscribe for the stock of the Central route. It
will be safer and more profitable investment Of
money than any mode now offered

Strike strike the bold harp swell The anthems loud

Lift high the proud banner Of COinmbia's devotion
Let The echo oil hack from each mountain and plain
And the Heavens proclaim each proud lreenan's

As, with hearts throbbng high,
Each brcat res the iona sigh,
For his home aud his affairs TO live 10 die.
While the Press, our Palladium, unietterGd shall be,
Til each land, like own shall be happy and free!
What though tyrants advance, with their powers
conbin'd?
The prnui spirit immortal Of frcemcn is chainleSs,
And vain are all efforts TO crush The free mind
For the soul like the wild mountain eagle, is tame
less.
Then swell the loud strain,
As meet once again.

'Iis the Frecman's Palladum-sccure let it be,
Till each land, like our own, shall be happy and trec
See the thick gloom of night which through ages of

In the aud of our fathers, base yrants had eded,
Now cisSovCs into day, hrght, cheerful, and lng,-
Fer the Press by the of bold Freedom is welded.

And this be motto, For God and oar Iand!f

.ueSSrs. EditorS,--I am, IN common with
many others, truly gratiied to see the crcula-
ton Of your paper daily and hourly increasing
The cause which you have undertaken to ad-
vocate, is essentially the cause of our country;
and am certain there are American hearts
enough in this land to bear you triumphantly
on in your new enterprise. The principles add
vocated through the columns of the "Clippor,"
are yet, as it were, in their infancy, but trust
that the day is not far distant, when Ameri-
cans, awaking TO Il sense of their danger, will
upnsc to expel from the bosom of our land all
foreign influence. For years past there has
been an anti-American feeling generating, not
only in our political, but even in our social Cir
cles; and we are now told by foreigners, 'that
we shall not rule them" and if we dare to pro-
claim that our country is our own, we are met
by naturalzed aliens with the declaration, that
''they have the balance of power, and know
how TO WELD it," The question then presents
itself to every thinking mind, care we Amer-
cans to rule ourselves, or are we to be legisla-
ted for and governed by European paupers?'
If Ii be our determination to be our own mas
tiers, let US enact proper and complete system
Of naturalization. Let us examine into the
abuses and denominations of years past, AID cor
