RUTLA land ROAD.

To those of us who have been so long
strug Cling for this road under tide Of ad-
verse circumstances. it is truly cheering to
find that in all human probability, our labors
are about TO be crowned with success. We
have never doubted that road through
Western Vermont would eventually be built.
Recent circumstances show that the time Of
construction is now near at hand. There
are powerful interests at work not only in
Boston but New York, which will ensure its
completion, not as a simple line Of road, but
as a great trunk from which other roads will
branch of. Who can doubt that if this road
should once be constructed from Burlington
TO Rutland, that branches not only 10 Boston
but TO New York and Whitehall would be
built! We need feel no misgivings that
both Boston and New York people would
meet us at that terminus. Burlington or
Vergennes is the place to commence opera
tons. If our friends in Boston shall raise Il
subscription which shall warrant it, the work
should likewise be simultaneously common
ced at Bellows Falls.
The following letter from Mr.. Minor, Edi-
tor of the American Railroad Journal, to a
gentleman in Burlington, talks very well up
on the importance, prospects, and profits OF
the Rutland road:
81 am gratified." says Mr.. Minor, 'to learn
that the Rutland people, and al! Western Yer
mont, are moving. The line from Burling-
ton to Rutland is one of great importance aud
| capabilities. Ii must become trunk line,
common 10 both New York and Boston, and
it matters little, whetfsr the one or the other
is first made, both are sure to be made soon,
and if nv opinion would weigh slrGiC with
the people of that region-between Rutland
and BnrIington-they would not delay one
moment on account of the road south Of Rut-
| land. III they will make the road from Bur-
lneton to Rutland, there will be a race be-
tween Boston and New York TO see who
shall first make u Dad to meet them. Why,
| the whole Rutland interest could not prevent
| the people cast of the Green Mountains from
opening a communication between them and
| Rutland, even if they had To tunnel five miles.
Is it to be opposed that the Boston people
will travel the tlro legs, when they may as
well take the hyPOtienuse Of a right angled
trianslel ltwould be singular did not the
interest in the Western road endeavor TO
bring the trade to Pittsfeld, as then they
would be sure 10 get a portion Of it, But is
it not evident that when at PiusfieId, grarity
would take more 10 New York, than enter
prise TO Boston.
My view is, that the Stockholders in the
Rutland road should not delay single mo-
ment in commencing the construction of the
Northern portion of their road. 1t will en-
sure the continuation Of The tloo legs below
Rutland. and you could not Prerent it-and
this is not all,-it will secure still another leg
off to the westward to connect with the Sara
toga and Sandy Hill road. or with Troy and
Albany, or, indeed, both.''

THE IRON BUSINESS.

In Hunts Magazine, most valuable work.
we learn that the value Of the iron manufac-
tured from the mines in the United States, is
estimated at. s33,OOO,OoO. Add to this the
value OF the coal produced in Pennsylvania,
$1,000, 900, aud it will be seen that American
labor now extracts from the bowels Of the
earth, in coal and iron, Sal 100000.
The iron business alone in Pennsylvania
gives food, raimeut and shelter to 100000
human beings. What market is here fni-
nished for wheat, corn, butter, cheese, pork,
and every edible produced by the American
farmer Then estimate the wool which must
be used to clothe this immense army Of Ia
borers, and the number of operatives neces-
s5ry TO manufacture it into clothing, and who
will say that the farmer is not much more
deeply interested in the protection to the
manufacturers Of iron than the mauufactu-
rers themselves, maugre The ignorant as
sumption of Secretary Walker that protec-
ton operates to the benefit Of the manufac-
turer alone.

On another subject Mr.. G. has been lead
into an GORGEOUS error. He arraigns the
wings equally with The locofoco party for the
crime of dough-faceism. Every man the
least acquainted with the political history OF
the country for 20 years past, well knows
that the wings as a party are entirely inno-
cent of the charge. By The wings of the
North there has been no parley, no truce, no
compromise with slavery. Let Mr.. Garnet.
or those who nse him, show a single instance
in Congress for years past in which the whig
party has not stood antagonist to slavery ard
the exaclions of the South upon the North.
Indeed cen any reasonable man doubt that if
the government werei this moment in the
hands or the wings that the advance Of sla-
very would be impeded, and its existence
limited to the States now subject to its with
ering curse.
AT all events, the last hopes OF redemption
from the dominion of slavery rest with the
power and principles of the whis party.
The one-idea party can never attain an ascen-
dency in the Union. The people want pros
perity at their fresides as well as freedom for
the slave. Indeed. there neither is, OF can
be. any party in the Union who can abolish
slavery without the concurrence ofslavehold-
ers themselves. Thank Heaven, this basis of
our hopes, in spite Of the evaporation which
abolitionism has produced. is daily enlsrging.
In Kentucky, Maryland and Virginia the
subject of slavery has been already thrown
open for full and frank investigation. In
Kentucky especially, the bold and noble
hearted Cassius NJ. Clay has spoke forth his
indignant hatred OF slavery with an eloquence
which has made all the supporters of the ac-
cursed institution in the Union tremble for
IFS existence. Let the lovers Of freedom at
the South 60 on with the holiness which is
daily increasing, and with the aid of the
wings of the North, slavery will soon be
limited, lift is not eventually rooted from the
land.

FREE TRADE FOR OREGoN.-It is believed
that the British nation and Press are willing
to compromise their claims on Oregon upon
very easy terms for Free Trade; and thai
the Presidents message is regarded in Eng
land as offering this bride. 1t is not there
fore improbable that negotiation may be re-
sumed, with view to make this the basis Of
a settlement. Having secured Texas and
slavery no doubt MIR. Calhoun and the south
will endeavor ostensibIy TO present war but
really 10 secure free trade by going against
the notice, Will not our New England
members awaken 10 the danger Of this at
tempt to lay all power over protection at the
feet of the British Queen. War yea bloody
war would be vastly better than thus placing
this nation out of the pale Of protection to its
own industry and again virtually reducing
US TO a complete vassalase TO the British
Crown.
