BALTIMORE AND OHIO RAIL ROAD.

We find in the last Baltimore American an
article from the Cincinnati Advertiser, from
which the following is an extract:
ain the meantime the Wheeling interest
has slcce1ded in tn Virginia Legislature. to
make its termination there an absolute condi-
ton 10 the concurrence Of Virginia, and i'm
this complicated difficulties OF the case, the
enterprise stands still. Now there is 10 doubt
that the company are right in abandoning the
Wheeling route, but they are wrong in wait
ing-as II seems they are-on a change of SEN
tim"nt IN the Virginia Legislature TO accom-
pilsh their objects. In the present position of
the case, IT will take at least two years to ef-
icct that change. Eastern Virginia will do
nothing for Western Virginia, the two sec
tions being as much separated in interest AMI
feeling as II they were separat: States, and the
reason why Parkersburg should terminate the
route, would probably be the very on to de
feat the measure in the carital at Richmond,
namely, the building of the West into impor-

We ask, in all consci nee, why il is that
thc Baltimore American and some of the 9th
ersterling papers OF that city are continually
copying articles of the nature Of that from
which the above is selected and never o y

CO There isan observation i'm the las, Ar
gus that the Wings have taken the British sid,
OF the Oregon ~ques.ion-as they always do
We do not refer to it in order to repel the
charge made on the Wings, for it's falschood is,
like F~alstaff' IS lies, ''grossa as mountain, open,
paipablc.' But il is remarkable that, TO the
best Of our knowledge, this is the only opinion
reason or argument that has cmana,ed from
the Editor OF that paper on the important rela
tons oil our country involved in tlisqucstion
We are bound to believe, however, that thi:
opinion about the Wings is all that the best
reflection OF the Editor could make out of the
Oregon question. The profound jurist and
learned civilian, who dispenses his wisdom
through that sheet, must have thoroughly ex-
amincd all the bearings of the question, and
viewed IL b. the light of the law of nations.
Wednre say that Puffcndorff and Grotiers have
been his daily food ever since the discovery of
Oregon, (Which is no; long--we mean since
ne discovered it, and it is probable that, in or
der to make this dry food more suitable to his
digestion, he took it with a -tater.
Nattell is under his pillow while he sleeps.
lie has conned negotiations from the treaty of
Westphalia' down to the Treaty of Washing
ton; nay, we dare say he has assembled as high
IN history as that prompt negotiator of old,
who dashed his sword into the scale to end all
disputes. From all this learning, research and
reflection, he has been at length able to an
nounce to his readers that the Wings take the
British side as they always do. Happy, hap
ps Argus! to be blessed with such Brotian
readers as are content with the smallest posi-
bic quantity of sense on the most important
subjects, and who demand of their Editor
nothing more than the weekly repetition of a
stale charge against the Wli,s. 1t might puz-
ze him to tell the difference between the
and the British side of the question;
but to declare that the Wings take the British
te whichever that isl as they always do,
this is an idea which in no way disturbs the
of brains, that exist between the
Argus and its readers, and it answers all purpo-
ses.
Having had our attention turned by the Ar
gus TO the writers on the laws Of nations, we
have peeped into ''Wheaton's Right ofSearch"
10 see if we have any just right to search in
the column OF the Argus for one valuable idea.
and we have found no authority in the vol
ume Tor so prcposterous a notion.

The Washington Constitution, says IT, has
reason to believe, that the destination of the
Princeton is not to the Gulf of Mexico. We
hope it's reason, whatever it is, is not a good
one. The aspect of our relations with Mexi.
co, certainly ~justifies the presence of a very
considerable force in the Gulf, for the protec-
ton of our commerce. Perhaps, however, the
Princeton may be destined for the Pacific,
where her services will be equally needed.

town on the river GRANDPA, a month or two
ago. They assailed the natives with ~ferocity,
biting and pelting with sticks, i'm their daring

made a stout counter assault with cutlasses

test, nearly one hundred were captured, and

0S -Ritchie in his new official paper (the
" U%nion,') says: The President is, withal.
affirm man. He was called the Little Hick-
Dry during the late campaign; and he de-
serves the distinction, for he mas the spirit of
Old Hickory in him. He will never sacrifice
the honor of Insecurity to any idle apprehen-
siuns of war, OF, we urg leave 10 say, the still
more idle declarations of tn, statesmen of
England, in the midst Of the imperial parlia-
ment!"
We have heard Polk cal,el" Young Hicko-
ry" III the late campaign, but a new depth Of
bathos is discovered by his W organ when
il calls him thu Little Hickory" 1t is very
singular too hat this title should be adduced
as a proof of firmness. There is as great a
contrast between the ~suppleness of a young
hickory sProut and the stubborn strength Of an
"old hickory" as there has always been be-
tween tn, crinsing %servility Of Polk and the
iron ~d>spotism OF Jackson. But a Young
hickory makes a pretty good 9 waffle and has
been well used for whipping ina process on
which tn, veteran editor sets a high value.
He ought to know whst her its uses be sweet
or not, having tasted them in his own person
and having also freely administered them in
his practice upon the refractory democracy of
Virginia. Hlving been himself brought to
support Jackson AMI to SIN other his incipient
REBELLION against Van Buren, b. a judicious APP
plication of a %"little hickory and having
used this identical ami presiding "young hick-
DRY to reclaim the FESTIVE chivalry, he must
" bless the rod" Th,r, was a tim, when this
editor declared that the election of Jackson
would b. a ours, to tn, nation. Now he is
tn mouth-picce of a President to whom he
can render no higher praise than that he has
tn spirit of "Oll Hickory" in him. If we
would use Ritchie's quotations against him
self, we might exclaim, " Son of the morning,
how art thou fallen"
