as worthy Of emulation by men in
high public stations every where, and
not less in this country than in any
other:
1.-The conduct Of Government

king. | may, without irreverence, be
permitted 10 say, that, like our phys
zeal frame, our ancient constitution is
''fearlully and wonderfully made"
that il is no easy task to ensure the
harmonious and united action of mon
archy, aristocTacy, and a reformed
House Of Commons.
These are the objects which we have
attempted TO accomplish, aud cannot
think that they are consistent with a
pure and enlarged conservatism. IT Hear,
hear.l Power for such objects is re-
ally valuable; but for my own part |
can say with perfect truth that, even
for these objects, | do not covet it. 1t
is a burden far above my physical,
infinitely above my intellectual strength.

be favor and not a punishment. But

4 themselves desire negotiation. As long
as things remain as they are, they are
content. They have The exclusive pos
session Of three fourths Of the country,
and the joint use Of the remaing fourth.
| This IS all they ask, and more than
they ask, in the way of territory.
They have the free use Of the river,
and Its harbor, for the export of their
inrs;and the importation Of goods from
Europe and Asia, without paying of du
ties: this is all they could ask in the
way OF navigation. They have law for
the government Of their people: we
have none: and, more than all, they
have an excuse for not complying with
the Client treaty-and excuse which
must fail them as soon as the notice
takes effect, and leave them under the
necessity of evacuating the country, or
violating treaty, for the execution of
which we hold :heir order. As things
are, the British arc content. They
want nc change. The joint convention,
while it stands, gives them all they ask,
and more too. They fear It's termina-
tion-they fear the noiice.-but they
are not going to make war for the no.
tlce. Ii will make them treat, not fight.
The times are propitious TO negota-

the considerable and thinking men Of
each country that the time has come for

Flcton that it IS our right, and duty, to

10 take offence at it; and that so far as
It depends upon me, it shall be given re-

in the absence Of it must fail.
As'far as we have heard an express
Esion opinion about these proposed roads,
we are convinced thateyery man with
in thirty miles of this place would be
in favor of q charcoal road, and the
mass ofthe people whose interests could
be affected by il, would either contri
butte money or labor towards its con-
struction. Even such road as that
would be desideratum in our coin
merce, which to be appreciated, must
be felt. The necessity Of such road
is admitted by those who would prefer
railroad. The cost of a railroad
although it would be comparatively
cheap on the proposed route, would GER
talnly cost more than twice as much
as charcoal road, and intelligent men
are found who assert that a rail road
alterlt had been completed, would not
be as valuable and as convenient, and
would not tend SO efectually to pro-
mote the prosperity of the country as a
charcoal road. They say that if we
wish TO build railroad, it would be bet
ter first TO make a charcoal road, and
then if railroad must be built, il
would be easy to lay the railing on
that road, already graded and bridged
for the purpose; and if railroad could
not then be completed, the road would
answer all the purposes Of communica-
ton with the Miss. river We do not
intend to express any preference al
present for either plan, but make those
remarks by way of directing public at
tention 10 it.

the senate on the notice question, but
it is so long that we cannot give even

Charcoal Roads.-We ask the atten-
ton OF our readers to an article which
We publish to-day from the Memphis
Eagle, on the subject Of Charcoal roads.
After reading that article attentively
and duly weighing the testimony in fa-
vor Of roads Of that description, the
mind can scarcely find room to doubt
that they would be of the utmost impor-
lance, TO country like that of western
Miss. A charter for a charcoal road
from here to Delta passed the Legisla-
ture, and also charter for a rail road
connecting the same points. We be-
lIeve the two acts are so worded that if
the commissioners accept one charter
they forfeit the other, so that if both
roads could be constructed, these char
ters will not now allow the construction
of but one. 1t is then for the commits
sioners TO determine which charter thew
will accept, and this election should in
our opinion, not be made until the rela-
tive costs, feasibility, and usefulness of
the two roads are cautiously and dill
gently compared. The cheapest plan,
if any cah be accomplished, will. under
existing circumstances be the best, for
an expensive one cannot now enlist the
ofthe country, and ofcourse
