when we lay before our readers the mani
festo of Gen. John P. Van Ness. setting
forth the reasons why Presiden, Polk should
not remove his brother c. p. from the New
York cusiom-house. 1t belongs to the his
tory of the times, and as the Sentinel may
be a little delicate in the matter, we could do
no less, as a matter Of courtesy. The letter
was doubtless written after the removal but
we have read it carelessly if there is any
very cogent reasons urged against the act.
and most certainly there is nothing in the
spirit Of il calculated to induces revocation.
So Cornelius Peter may be considered as
on the shelf-unless God IN his inscrs,ibIe
wisdom should permit another Tyler to FIRE,

But the General is mistaken as to his

NEW SURVEY.

We have been furnished with the follow.
ing statement as the result Of the new sur
vey between Rutland and this place. From
this It will be seen that the route, instead Of
being one of insurmountable difficulties, and
utterly 'mprac,icable, is in fact one of easier
grades and cheaper construction than any
equal distance in New England! The dis.
lance, it will be perceived, has not been in
creased, while the grades are reduced nearly
one.half, and Mr.. Gilbert, the surveyor, de.
clares his willingness TO undertake the gra-
ding of "a miles of il at three thousand dol
lars per mile. Assuming these facts 10 be
as stated, we annot resist the conviction
that the first survey was made in bad faith,
and with view 10 ruin the route. Wha,ev-
er our preferences might be in the premises,
we could not omit to hold up to merited con.
demnation such perfdy as this. Mr.. Fellor
must wash himself Of this transaction, OF
sand e,ernally disgraced in the eyes of al
honorable men.
By the survey which has been made be
tween Rutland and this place by Mr.. Gil
