0FIs there a candid wing in the whole State
of Vermont who, if put under oath, would not
say he believes, that in case Cass had been elect
ed last fall, the wings as a party, would have
sought and gladly formed coalition with the
Free Soil party this season. We think there is
not one. What then should we say Of the sim
cerity of the loud mouthed charges of the whig
presses respecting the late union. If this is not
an elTectual answer to all their clamor we
know not what is.

VT. Central and VT. and Canada
RailrOd.

Under the authority of the act of 1847 and
with the approval of majority Of the stockhold-
ers, as well as of the best legal and financial au'
thorites, in Vermont and Boston. the Central
has made an arrangement for the use of the VI,
and Canada read, and measures have been taken
to secure its construction, in part, Immediately
and the whole as soon as the Ogdensburgh road
is completed. As guaranty on its part, the
Central does give bonds at par, for S50O,0O0
bearing six per cent. and payable in 90 years
To this, we think, we need only add, thlt so lal
from preudcing the stock of the Central road
or the interests of the public, this arrangement
is calculated to be emnently advantageous tC
both. No step has been taken from the begin
ming so important and so certain to be advanta.

and Mr.. BENTON to the fortunes Of the
Administration and admits that it would
desert its principles for such favor by
insinuating that they are capable of doing
SO. 1t has no ambition above a supper.
When an American citizen, holding in
his bosom the heart of one, contemplates
the meeting of these distinguished men
once more in the United States Senate, his
mind is wrapt in admiration of the times
when the esquires of that body were wor-
thy the steel of templar, and every
knight was terrible 60 like an army with
banners. There were giants in those
days, and these were greatest where all
were great. There is not one of them who
has not surrounded himself with traditions
which it would be sacrifice to barter for
all the offices in the gift of Government.
AS an evidence of respectful remembrance
they might acknowledge the appointment
of those near them in blood and affection,
with kind and generous feeling; but, as a
bride for support they would not other
wise give, who does not feel that they
would, sooner than sell their renown,
strike the hostages dead, though bone of
their bone, and throw them down in de-
fiance at the foot of the Administration!
Let it not be supposed that the Union is
making these indirect admissions, for the
purpose Of wounding distinguished Wings.
In the case of Mr.. BENTON such excuse
cannot be pleaded. It's beseeching and
deprecating tone, in imploring Mr. BEN
TON not to be led astray by such bribe-
its warning, lest any support given by him
to the Administration be ascribed to 6 the
seeming obligations under which" they
have placed him-betray areal anxiety, and
SO mind incapable of comprehending a
motive of action above the sslucre of gain. I"
1t interprets every action by this talisman.
Its horizon is bounded by the circumfer-
ence of dollar. Its patriotism knows no
other reward its imagination acknow-
lodges no other good gift. Itwatches the
panorama of politics with hands in its
pockets, and would admire the "wars of
the giants" only for the buttons it may
pick from the dead.

constructing those sea-signafs, however, rested
solely with the crown and in fact tue far larger
