SLAVERY, BIZ A SOUTHERNER. Hon. ReVer

from the State of Maryland, in his Speech upon

respecting Slavery, which are interesting COM

Wilmot proviso, exclusively he said upon con-

self, he declared, as follows:
81 believe, and have ever believed, since
was capable of thought, that slavery is great
affection to any country where it prevails and
calculated 10 enlarge its area, or to render more
permanent its duration.
"In some latltudes, and for agricultural sta
pies, slave labor may be, to the master, the most
valuable species of labor, though this / greatly
doubt. In others, and particularly in my own
State, am convinced that this is the very dear
est species of labor and in all, as far as national
wealth and power and happiness are concerned,
/ am persuaded 1t admits of no comparison with
the labor of free men-and, above all, disguise
it as we may if the laws of population shall not
be changed by Providence or mans nature shall

such topic. In my own State, sir, am salts.
fed that, but for the movements of political abo
ltionlsts, slavery would now scarcely have exist.
ed. The current of public opinion was fast set
ting towards its gradual extinction. Laws were
passed to encourage and facilitate manumission
but these movements have changed this opinion
ard caused laws to be modified almost to the pro
hbition of freedom"

NORTHERN IN. W RoAD.-James Hayward,
Esq., the Engineer of this road, made his report
to the Directors at a meeting holden few days
since in Boston. We have been favored with
copy. and shall avail ourselves of the first oppor-
tunity TO advert TO the most important features in
it. Suffice it to say that Mr.. Hayward recon-
mends crossing Lake Champlain by a bridge, and
selects the most direct line to point favorable
for this object-a line which has been already a.
dopted by the Directors from Ogdensburgh to
the summit, In grades, curvature, cost and ca
pacity for business, this is first class road, and
we have no doubt that the stock for this road, as
well as for the Vermont and Canada road, which
is to connect it with the Vermont Central, will
be readily filled up and the great work commence
ed at an early period.
VERMONT CENTRAL. The tendency of this
road Is upward and onward; we expect to see

Stockholders, and also meeting of the Drec-

June.

are that this road will be completed within the
