rentleman present. But one subject may |
Incidentally demand our consideration on
one article of duty, which may perhaps
he discussed, without entering into the
province Of Legislative halls, and which
has an immense bearing on the present
topic. individuals may accomplish much
by their subscriptions to public enterdrlze;
but regard the expense OF a rail road, at
present prices. The usual Il rail road
iron, as imported into this country, under
the present tariff, costs not less than Vs..
600 per mile, for the duty. Now, were
this duty repealed, it would virtually ope-
rate as SO much money actually subscribed
for the completion Of road. Our own
manufacturers make such iron at from fit
ty.fve TO sixty dollars per ton. This |
give from the best authority, and from a
gentleman who at this time has not less
than three hundred thousand dollars in
vested in iron works. There are at pre-
sent but two manufactures of rail road
iron in this country; but Iapprehend ma

terms which will produce an ample supply,
at fair profit, on prices not exceeding

American InStitute-Anniversary Address

American Institute o-AnniVeTSary Address.
The address of Hon. Il. ID. ELLIOT, Of
Mass, before the American Institute, was
listened to by one of the largest audiences
ever congregated within the walls of the
tabernacle.
The subject of this address was the ne
cessity of elevating the standard of ma
nual labor, and improving the mental con.
diton of the producing classes, particular
ly the tiilers of the soil. He alluded to
the Annual Fairs of the Institute as some
thing of the character of the scenic exhi-
billions Of the ancients, the tendency of
which Was to inspire rivalry in all manly
and valuable callings, though he abiured
the main features of ancient excellence,
which was perfection in human butchery.
We want peace, lasting and genial peace.
He rapidly sketched the history of our
country from the days when strife was in
the land to the present hour, and gloried in
the unexampled growth and prosperity OF
our people. Yet every point attained dis
covers other positions yet to be gained; as
the traveller among the mountains sees
peaks on peaks in long perspective rise,
till he may almost despair of reaching the
heaven.crowned summit. He expatiated
at length upon the value of the great In
heriance left us by our patriot fathers
upon the great price of blood they paid
for il, and wonderful progress their sons
had made in all sciences and arts. Ame
rican skill had always been equal to the
demands made upon it. When the want
of an invention is once felt, the discovery
is at 4he door.
What have the mechanic arts done fol
US, aided by the natural enterprise of oul
brethren? Now we want equal legisla
tion, well regulatated commerce, and a
bove all, profound peace, at home anc
aboad; for which every true friend Of the
country ,-he hoped, would fervently pray
War freed US from the oppression of "
rants; but war never would have made u:
the nation we now are, ii the plough AM
the loom had not gone heartily 10 work.
Commerce depends upon the farmer fo
ITS very existence. Accumulation under
lies commerce, and both rest upon ih'
foundation Of Labor--the great idea O
Divine will. What avail is it if ous ri
vers run on golden beds, if our granarie
are groaning with their abundance, il on
ships run to and fro to the uitennost end
OF the earth, and the laborer still be down
trodden and ignorantg
That old and deep-rooted prejudice
that ungenerous and ridiculous idea, tha
the hand must ever be suhservient to tn,
head is fast fading away, and must b,
completely eradicated. God has given
head and hand to every man, and il i

nDEMocRATIC DIssENsIoNs.'

The Wings had better give over their fond
hopes Of benefiing BY the discussions in our par
,y. In Mississippi, where The personal quarrels
OF leading Democrats have been carried 10 The
uimos, violence, our party has succeeded by a
still larger majority. The people do not NEEDLE
with The feuds Of ciiques, but rOte their principles,
regardless of men. As long as the Democratic
party adhere to their healthy principles SO long
will they triumph, however the leaders may Guar
rel with each other-though it is deeply TO be
regretted, that the latter should ever occur. From
the "run" OF the counties heard from in Missis-
spp iii safely estimated that The whole Demo-
cratic ticket for Executive officers and Represen-
talives to Congress is elected by about ssren thou
sand majority. In counties, the gain on the
Governors ticket over The November vote is
lO44-and on The congressional vote, ESQ.,

TIE OBJECT OF BRITISH MILITARY PREPA-
RATIOSS

~
The panic-makers in this country, upon the
rumor of naval and military activity in England,
jumped rapidly TO the conclusion, that war with
the United States, for Oregon, might be daily ex-
pec,ed-and that our Government, for simply re-
ierating claim which has been maintained by
all our statesmen whether Wings or Democrats,
would be responsible for involving US in bloody
contest. For what purpose were these animated
preparations in England really intended? BY
the last steamer we hear that the Duke OF Wei
lnston had gone 10 Brighton and other portions
OF The English coast, 10 examine critically The
Notifications Of The island. Does this look like
war with the United States, or does England ex-
pect us 10 change our tactics, and, instead of con-
fning operations to our own territory and onr own
waters, 10 attack the lion in his own lair2 The
supposion is most unreasonable, and, coupled
with the following extract from the latest English
journal, il must be inferred that England is pre-
pairing her batteries for q nearer neighbor, who
has excited the jealousies OF the British Lion =
from The Liverpool Chronicle, Nov. 81
WARLIKE PREPARATioSs.-There is evidently
"a screw loose" between US and some or other
OF the countries from which, according 10 royal
speeches, we are everasungly receiving assn
RANGES of love and amily. Preparation for sud
den hostility is going on in all directions. Signs
Of the qu rirc are To be traced in every quarter.
Old Notifications are being repaired, added 10,
and strengthened New ones are being erected.
There is an unusual hustle in The naval yards,
as we'll as in The arsenals. Shirsa are being made
ready up to that point from which they could al
once be pushed into immediate service. Those
in service are gradually increasing their crews
