Is certain that their plan for the renewal Of
the application to the next Legislature. for the
right of way for the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road To Parkcrsburg, or any other point on the
ONO river other than that fixed by the law of
last winter, has gained no new friends.

the stockholders of The Railroad Company will

at which it is expected will be decided the

signal disappointment than they received last
winter. We have not seen or heard of any
good reason, or amy new developemcnt that
should induce the people of the State, or the
members oil the Legislature, TO change the de-
cision of last winter We believe there exists
none. When the Legislature of Virginia is
willing to proclaim to the world, that for lack

OF the people of the State. il is incapable ol

up to lorm a Government of IFS own for the

or TO be GNtnCrCd to Maryland-and then, we
are sure, full liberty will b. given TO the Bal
timorc and Ohio Railroad Company. to make
their terminus any where ON the Ohio River
between the Pennsylvania and Kentucky
lines.
The Company must see, BY the meeting of
some -four or five hundred delegates from nine
or ten of the Northwestern counties, at Fair

crcdings of the Clarksburg Convention, that

''ROBT. J. WALKER.
The post of this high and exalted Office is
not always "a bed OF roses" upon which the
recumbcnt possessor can woo repose and
luxuriatc his senses. The hatred of enemies.
whose mccasing vigilance detects every aber-
ration, frequently minglcs a bitter herb with
the nectar which he quails, and il sometimes
happens, that friends, from he impulse of stern
duty, feel themselves bound To Join in hostile
dcnunciation. Then, indeed, does the unhappy
man find il a thorns. "
These reflections are thrown out. by way If
