AN AJTo-BIoGRAPHY OF DANIEL WESTERN is
stated that, in the preparation Of the Life of Buck
minister, by Mrs. LEE, which is soon 10 be published,
she has lad access TO many interesting private papers.
Among these is a manuscript autobiography or Dam
lei Webster. A paragraph, quoted from this, shows
Us a fact which will be both encouraging and consol-
ing 10 diffdent school boys. MIR. Webster says:
my first lessons in Latin were recited 10 Joseph
Stevens Buckminister, at that time an assistant at
the academy. | made tolerable progress in all the
branches | attended to, under his instruction, but
there was one thing | could not dol could not make
a defamation. | could not speak before the school.
The kind and excellent B~nckminister especially sought
to persuade me to perform the exercise of declama-
ton, like the other boys, but | could not do it. Many
a piece did | commit TO memory, and rehearse it in
my own room, over and over again; but, when the
day came, when the school was collected, when my
name was called, and | saw all eyes turned upon my
seat, | could not raise myself from it. Sometimes
the masters frowned, sometimes they smiled. Mr..
Buckminister always pressed and entreated with the
most winning kindness, that l would only venture
once-but l could not command sufficient resolution,
and when the occasion was over, | went home and
wept bitter tears of modification.

PROPOSED ABOLITION OF ALI QUARANTINE LAWS.
The General Board of Health, of London, has just
issued a report recommending the abolition of the
practice Of quarantine. A vast amount of testimony
has been collected showing the futIlity of oil qnaran-
tine regulations. As regards the propagation OF con-
togion by merchandise it is proved that if the ordina-
nv theory Of contagion were correct, Manchester must
have been long ago ravaged by an Oriental plague.
The object is attracting the careful attention of the
press, and there is but little doubt that ere long all
the quarantine laws will be abolished. The report
treats plague, typus. scarlet. yellow fever. Influenza
and cholera, as fevers. They are all fevers, they are
all dependant oD certain atmospheric conditions, they
all obey similar laws Of diffusion, they all infest the
same localities. they all attack chiefly the same class
es, and for the most part persons Of the like ages, and
their intensity is increased or diminished by The same
sanitary and social conditions. However diseases
may be communicated, quarantine establishments are
pronounced wholly incompetent to prevent the spread
of them. whilst they infict extreme inconvenience on
commerce and travelling. subject the sick to increas-
cd danger, and maintain false securities in relation to
the true means Of preventing disease.-Pa. Ledger.

MEssRs. EDIroRs :-Among the acknowledged great men
Of our nation, we know Of no one who, by his conduct as a
statesman, so deservedIy merits The Presidency of these
United States and who, by his talents and patriotism, would
so magni6cently adorn that exalted station, as THOMAS III.
BENTON, Of Missouri. The firm and unwaveTIngc champion of

his purpose to preserve pure and entire the constitution of
his county, the nation will love TO honor and exalt 10 the

Col. BENTON AND THE PACIFIC RAIL RoAp.-Col.
Benton has recently written a very interesting and
able letter on the subject Of the projected rail road
from the Mississippi 10 the Pacific. He is in favor
Of commencing the work Immediately, and promises
TO urge upon Congress at its next session the adoption
IF more effective measures to raise funds for the work
than his bill of last session provided for. He saws:
1.-The main line can soon be accomplished by the
federal government. We have money and men
enough, to put the whole distance under construction
At once. In my bill | proposed to begin with a per
cenium Of the sales of the public lands; but the ia
vor with which the plan has been received, will induce
me to propose the whole proceeds, and to borrow in
advance Of sales upon the hypoibecation Of future
sales. In this way any amount of money can be raj
sed; and so for men. we can have hundreds of thous-
ands &C them. The Mexican war is over, and the ac-
tive spirit of the American people wants some great
object on which TO employ itself; and none greater
or more attractive than this, can ever be presented.
Besides our own labor, Europe and Asia would con-
tribute theirs. Armies of hundreds of thousands are
put on foot in other countries for the conquest of ma
tons; laborers by the hundred thousand can be put on
foot by our government for the most noble of all con-
quests. that Of extending commerce. freedom, ciyili-
cation, religion, and drawing closer the family Of ma
lions. The great road from the Mississippi to the
Pacific can be made Immediately, and settled imme-
diately. The extinction Of the Indian title on both
sides of the road, and donations of land 10 settlers,
will Immediately convert the whole line into n doub-
T. row of settlements. n street a mile wide from the
Missouri 10 the Pacific. and a line Of houses, villages
and towns on each side throughout. All this can be
done, and l live in the confident hope of seeing it,"
