approve the course Of Mr.. Dobbin in this mat
ter, and that we would cheer him on by every
means in our power A different route from
the one which he has so eloquently advocat-
ed, would perhaps have redounded more 10
the interests of his immediate constituents
but finding that the Central Road was the on
ly one which was likely 10 succeed at pre-
sent, he threw himself forward in its favor,
and forgetting for the moment all other con-
siderations, he devoted all his energies and eff
forts 10 the State at large. But should this
Road be constructed, his constituents will
share in the general welfare; and in addition
TO this, if the Plank Road bill should become
a law, tas we hope it willy his own people
will at once realize, from that as well as from
other measures, the benefits of his active and
untiring labors in their behalf.

When the last dreadful sentence, and It's

afrighted senses, she became paralyzed with
excess of emotion, the scream which had a.

murmurs, and sinking back, she fell, as one
dead, upon the arms of Vasale.
She was not dead, however; he had not
poisoned her; that crime he had hesitated to
commit, yet he was none the less her MUIR
