OUR RAILROAD.

There eau now scarcely remain doubt
Of the success OF the Rutland road. That
road shall be built through Vermont as
connecting link between the great lakes and
Boston. is tine Fixed determination Of the
people Of that city. For this purpose the
preferences which has been given 10 the
Central must yield TO the vastly superior adj
vantages ofths Rutland over il, in respect TO
expense Of construction, shortness Of distance,
and vastly greater amount Of every kind
of business which it will command. To
these the Bostonians so long deceived by the
gross falsehoods which the Centrals have
been playing of before them, are now fully
awake. The Fitchburgh and Cheshire pes-
pie now regard the Rutland road az their
only reliable feeder, and abandoning every
ether conuection, are ready to engage with
heart and hand in it, completion. Indeed. it
is unnecessary longer to conceal the fact
that these reads have already made the
m ,st favorable propositions for sfectual CO.
operation, and have fixed their northern ter
minus SO as to meet the Rutland at Bellows
Falls.
Nothing mora remains for the people Of
Western Vermont to do but 10 meet their
assessments. This done, fully and pnnct-
uaily, and the Iron Horse will soon be seen
foaming and kissing along the banks Of the
Otter. and through The vallies Of Lake Cham
plain. Now or never, is the time TO seize
upon the mighty boon rendered TO US, and to
decide whether the most beneficial project
ever proposed for the advancement Of our
prosperity shall 60 on or be wound up by
our cold Indifference and stupidity. As TO
profits Of investments in ths Rutland road. no
fear need be entertained. even should the
Central road be built. But Of this the most
serious doubts may now be entertained. The
Central road has lost the sympaIhies Of the
Fitchburgh and tho Cheshire. !, has tnrned
the cold shoulder TO the Concoid and Lowell,
who are now directing all THEN energies for
the construction Of the Passumpsic. on the
way to Montreal. Its own instrinsic merits
are nothing. and having spent all the money
i. could dupe out of the people Of Boston;
and unable to fitch another cent Of the mil
lions necessary for its completion. it is cast
upon the world poor and pennylsss. OF the
thousands oflab1rers hitherto employed.
few only, in small gangs, remain upon the
lines. We may be mistaken. but intelligent
and scientific men who have been in a situa-
lion to appreciate the enormous expense Of
this road. have pronouueed ito say the
least, the most difficult ever attempted in
this country.

THE OFFER PEACE REJEC-
TED

Mexico has turned another leaf 10 the record
OF onr disgraceful War. She will not negoti
ate for Peace until our forces are Withdrawn
from her territory. And who can blame her
az refuse 10 acknowledge that her course is
dictated by iustice. honor and srlf-respcct
With what Nation would nee consent to treat
for Peace with her troops invading our terri
tory and her ships blockading our ports
Should we not regard the very proposal to
negotiate under such circumstances as the
most aggravated insult?
IL may be madness for Mexico, in her weak
ness. thus to stand upon her honor. hen sht
has every reason 10 believe that her r' fusal Il
negotiate will subject her 10 a still farther in
rasiou Of her territory and the loss Of man,
mois valuable lives. with no prospect what
ever Of being able 10 cxpel 10 ultimately from
her soil; hut who will say thar in This pariic
uinr her conduct is not patriotic, high min
ded and ehvalrous?
The reason assigned by The Administration
for refusing to Withdraw oar forces from Mex
leu simultaneously with the offer Of Peace
was that, in case the proposal Should be rcJec-
led we should be involved in greater expense
In renewing the war. Miserable plea -
There would not in that case have been the
slightest danger 0fthe rejection Of the offer !;
but suppose il had been otherwise. how could
thar justify US in making thu offer under con
ditions involving self degradation on the part
of Mexico!
Thus much we deem it right to say on
'h. suPposiion that all The facts essential to u
correct judgment are before us; and hear for
the present We lest aud await farther devel-
oPmeurs. See TelegraPhie Dispatch.]

DEMOCRACY.

There is much pith aud point in The fol-
lowin. from the New York Express:
"D.emocracy" is droll thing. and his the
drollest way Of showing itself often. II any
thing could be supposed to be democratic
one would have thought it would be, doing
our york at home instead Of having II done
abroad,-consuming American made, instead
Of foreign made products.-paironizing our
oun labor and laborers. instead OF foreign la
Dor and aborers. But this is not democratic
at all. 'Democracy'teachss large increase
Of foreign importaiions TO the amount Of about
3 l4U. DOC. 600. which we are TO buy and to
pay for in Europe, in order to raise, upon such
an enormous amount Of importations, some
5 100000 600 which Mr.. Walker the great
Mississippi 6paucier, tells us is sure to come
from the Tariff Bill Of 1886.
Democracy is. indeed. funny. very funny.
|: is democratic to be buying our iron. an
chors, anvis, wire, chains, cables, &C., &c.
in Europe. but not democratic at all 10 be
buying them from Pennsylvania. II is dem
