tagc of more than mn miles in distance, and
large advantage in grades also, the Central is safe
from any Competitor for the eastern business; this
is n point which admits neither Of argument nor

tages over a rounds about road Of l5S miles south to

OF the heavy western bushes to and from Boston,
the VI. Western road can do none -- that must be
done BY the line from Boston to Albany and Buff

from Boston, the latter has not less than 2C0 miles

Nth The navigation Of LAKE. Champiuin, The North

the engineer should have overlooked all these

~ The Green Mountain Freeman has Of late
been particularly abusive towards the Wing edit
ors. Gentlemen please tell us who were they
that braced up the people of Vermont against the
Slavocracy for years ere your organ came into OK
istence? Who contributed to keep up a public
sentiment against slavery, which you now step in
and try to pervert for the overthrow of Wing prn-
ciples, and for the accomplishment of your person
al and party ends? Had It not been for the Wings,
and the Wing editors what would have saved Yer
mont from the calling yoke and the terrible dis
grace which have been borne for twenty years by
New Hampshire? Doyou rejoice that New liamp-
shire has Just been disenthralledb by the Joint efforts
Of the Wings and Abolitionsts and Independent
Democrats then never forget that it is to Yer
mont Wings YOU 10 owe it, and ever will owe it,
that Vermont has never bowed to the Slavocratc
yoke. But for them, Vermont would have had her
Athertons and Woodburys, and Hills, in both
branches of Congress- to impose gags trampe up
on the right of petition, and meany truckle in ev
cry point to Slavery. There has also been more
recent occasion when the grand question was
Shall American Slavery be extended, entrenched
and perpetuated and we have not forgotten where
you stood, nor the position of the Wing editors and
Wing party of Vermont. They are mol in any de-
gree responsible for the election of President Polk
for the admission of Texas - for the bringing of
thousands of slaves under the jurisdiction of the
government for the addition of at least two Slave
States to the Unon-for the bringing of two more
Slavocratc members TO the Senate and two into
the House, TO vote against the rights and interests
of the Free States for the present position of
affairs with Mexico and California, pregnant with
some dozens more of Slave States south of the line
81. Never had American Slavery more at stake
than in the last Presidential contest; and that Sla-
very won the victory is not surely due u Lo-
cofocosm than to those leaders of your party, who
with loudest professions Of Liberty on t.eir tongues
were yet the efficient, practical and victorious al
lies of the Slavocracy. The Wing editors of Yer
mont have such stain upon their hands, and il
now you will set yourselves up the exclusive
high-priess of the temple of Liberty-frst confess
your sins, clear your skirts from the blood of Tex
an slaves and Mexican freemen and pledge your.
selves never again TO be found knowingly aiding in
the support of American Slavery, Else the pub
lie may well suspect that your pretensons in YOU
own behalf and your assaults upon the Wing ed
itors, are merely for party effect and your own per
sonal advantage.

TO II. BELL, Esq,

OEEGoN.-Thanks to the Hon. Solomon Foot for
a copy of map Of Oregon, by the L. S. Exploring
Expedition, with additions from the latest discov-
cries by the Hudson Bay Company in the North
and Lieut.. Fremont in the East This map gives
at Il glance much information upon the Oregon
question. Oregon averages about ten degrees in
width, while according to this map only two degrees
ION the COAST consists of tillabc nd-beng but
one-dith of the territory The head Of navigation
on the Columbia is at the Cascades two degrees
from its moulh, and at the eastern boundary Of till
able land below the doth degree Of north latitude.
Should the line be settled on the 10th degree, the
largest proportion of the tiable land the whole of
the navgablc portion of the Columbia, and Frca
Straits will be within the territory of the United
States. Assuming that Great Britain first discov-
cred Frazcrs river, and the United States the Co
umbia, both countries have rights, by their discov-
cries, to territory as far north as the SD degree
FraZer's river and the main branch of the Column
bia run parallel to each oher-the former north
east to about So, and through the Rocky Noun
tains, while the Columbia runs from above 50, and
from thence is TO be traced south to its head on the
50th degree. Were n compromise to be made OF
the territory attached to these two rivers it would
seem that the line should start from about So &c
If it be conceded that the discovery of Frazer's
river con.ers any title upon Great Britain, our CLAIM
to oil of Oregon cannot stand one moment. Fra
sers river rises near 55S and runs through Oregon
south almost to ass

THE ARMY AND NAVY.


The nnxiously sought information relative TO the
increase of the Army and Navy has at length been
produced in Congress. The first important TACT
elected is that this increase of the Army and Ma
w was mol suggested by the President II there
fore he with ali the facts relating to foreign AFFAIRS
saw reasonable ground for war, he is convicted OF
gross negligence for not suggesting the required
preparation. But the charitable and just inference
probably is, that the President did mol anticipate
war-though he has permitted both branches OF
Congress to spend nearly the whole session thus
far, lerislatng upon question which may involve
the peace of The country, without communicating
either his own opinions, fears, or confidence, and
almost without giving Congress any real knowledge
at all of the condition Of the grave question which
it has been discussing 1t turns out that the pro-
iected increase of the Army and Navy was ot'cded
By The committees Of The Senate md Ho1sr, and that
the answers from the heads of the Departments
were made conflentially, or substantially so; in
short, that an effort has been made to keep the
country, and even Congress- in profound ignorance
upon the subject! But to the projects revealed.
The Secretary of War WIN l.. Marcy on the
Goth of Dec. gave his opinions to the Senate Com
mttce on Military Affirs. lie states that his re-
commentators to the President on the 20th Nov.
were made merely in reference TO the permanent
peace establishment. In addition, he now recon-
mended that the President be authorized to accept
the services of $4,000 volunteers for one year, if
required; and also that two or three hundred thous
and dollars be placed at his disposal for temporary
Notifications, if required by any sudden attack. All
recommendations beside these, (such addition
of two regiments to the Army and additional for
tifcatons, seem to be intended for the "perma-
nent peace establishment
On the Slh of Jan. the Secretary Of the Navy
Geo. Bancroft) wrote to the Comm tee on Naval
Affairs, recommending three steam lrgates, five
steam soops, two smaller steamers the equipment
and repair of all vessels in ordinary and on the
stocks and the Suspension of all limitations upon
enlistments in the Navy He also communicated
recommendations and estimates from the Navy
Commissioners (Conmodores Morris, Warrington,
Shubrick and Crane,) but did not give any opinion
as to the necessity of these recommendations. The
estimates of the Commissioners are as follows, and

TO TIE TAX-PAYTNG COMMUNITY IN
VERMONT.
M ~

The necessity Of strict legal li1dt1tion and re-
strction IS moro urgently required in guarding the
avenues to the Treasury, than in almost my other
part OF legislation ;-nuthing should be ef to dis
erection, which can be settled by law. The wo.d
discretion is too elastic to occupy place in legal
phrase, where any thing like certainty becomes ma
tnrial, especially when used to modify power 10
dsburse the public funds. And yet we have laws
in great numbers, comforting powers, on many
agents Of the government to allow claims against
the State in their discretion, even in cases where
the service might be defined and the compensation
settled. 1t is not easy to imagine any sufficient
reason for permitting the law 10 remain as il is -
every service should be defined. which will admit
Of it, and the compensation fixed, and thus the call
for using discretion, which many have now. would
be avoided. The provision in the law Of lS42 for
the PRONUNCIATION of rules to secure uniformity of
ch1rges, was designed to correct the inequanies cf
discretionary allowances Where the service is
defined aud the ie es'ab he'd by lw, al'owanr,
are uniform, but beyond these bounds of legal pe-
scripicn lies territory under the Jurisdiction Of
