Correspondence Of the NJ 2. Tribune
Mr. POLK AND Mr.. WILMOT-A REMIN.
ISCENCE IN POINT.
WAsHINaToN, Feb. l7.


Mr. Stephens in the course of his thrilling
speech to-day having alluded to pledge given to
Mr.. Wilmot by Mr.: Polk in regard to the extension
of slavery into the new territories Mr.: Wimot OBJ
tanned the floor next after Mr.. Lahm of Ohio and
proceeded to make the following explanation:
He Mr.. W.) called upon the President some
two years since in reference to his famous proviso
upon, an intimation that the President wished to
confer with him. Mr.. Polk opened the subject by
informing MIR. W. of his his deep anxiety for the
passage of the three million bill, and saving that
he considered the Proviso the great obstacle to
such passage. Mr.. w. demured that he doubt
ed whether the appropriation of three millions of
dollars for the avowed purpose of enabling the
President to make peaceAwould rather impede
than facilitate treaty. being regarded as an at
tempt to bribe the Mexican rulers Mr. Polk re-
Piled rather foreibly, that he was probably better
informed on that subject than Mr. Wimot could
be, and ne had frequent communications with the
leading personages in Mexico. Mr. Wilmot then
said that he had no desire to embarrass the admin
istration nor to protract the war; and that if he
could be sure of accomplishing in some other way
the great end of prohibiting the extension of slave
ry, he would choose that other way He would as
soon put the provso in the shape of Joint resolu-
ton and press it in that FORM if that would effect
the same end. Mr.. Polk hoped he would do so,
and believed that in that form the resolution would
not oe Unpopular at the Soutn, not even In MlSSlS
sippi He denied that the south was anxious for
the diffusion of slavery, and said that for his own
part he did not wish to see another foot of slave
territory He added that he believed slavery could
not be extended without endangering the harmony
and stability of the Union.
Such, said Mr. Wilmot was the substance of the
Presidents remarks to me on that occasion have
only before spoken of it and then to the gen
tlenan from Georgia, (Mr. Stephens,) but did
not consider the conversation in its nature private
though be had not seen fit to speak of it but once
till now.
What viii the south say to this?

Gen. Taylor has chosen Mr.. Clayton to fll the
office of Secretary of State, which post he has ac-
cepted. Mr.. Crittenden has been rendered and has
accepted the post of Attorney General
Report says that Gen. Taylor has selected Hon.
Geo. Evans of Me. as Secretary of the Treasury,
and Called B. Smith of Ind for Postmaster Gen
eral, Bailie Peyton for the War Department, and
Thomas Butler King for the Navy.
Another rumor is that the iSecretaryship of the
Treasury will be given to Hon. Truman Smith,
If the above reports should prove to be correct,
the country will have to rejoice in the ex-
celent selections for the important offices named
Our Locofoco friends will now see that their sur
misses and assertions that Gen. Taylor intended to
make his selections equally from the two great po-
litical parties. in making up his Cabinet was all
moonshine, and they must feel rather silly at then
ridiculous attempt to convey the impression, that
he did not intend to remove any locofoco from Of
fee. The men named for the several posts in the
cabinet, are all thoroughgoing Wings, and are able
statesmen, aud men of sound Judgment just
snch men ps teS times need, and whom the loco.
fccos needexpect any sympathy or aid from.

lowered in cost by being brought from distant for
ests now inaccessible to us So with other articles.
Every inhabitant would therefore be benefited, for
every one must be warmed and fed The mer-
chant will find his old country consumers and ma
nv new ones coming at all times, and will share
their larger portion of profits The stockholder,
besides his gains as member of one of these clas-
ses of producer, merchant consumer will in ad-
dton receive his dividends from tolls. 1t is one of
those rare business transactions by which all par
ties gain.
Among the most remarkable consequences of
such improvements, is the rapidly increasing pro-
portion in which their benefits extend and radiate in
every direction, as impartially and bengnantly as
the similarly diverging rays of the sun. Around
every town market place we may conceive num-
Der of concentric circles to be drawn enclosing
eas from any part of which certrin kinds of pro-
duce may be proftably taken to the town, while
from any point beyond each circumference, the ex-
pense of the carriage of the particular article would
excede its value Thus the inner circle at the centre
of which is the town, may show the limit in every
direction from beyond which perishable vegetables,
articles very bulky or heavy in proportion to their
value cannot be pro6tably brought to market; the
next larger circle may show the limit of fruit; and
so on If now the roads are improved in any way,
so in any degree to lessen the expense of carriage
then the radius of each article is correspendingly
Increased and the of each circle is enlarged as
tue square OF tnlS rat0 OF increase 1nuS, II The
Improvement enables a horse to draw twice as
much or to travel twice as fast as he did before,
each of the limiting circle is expanded outward to
twice its former radius and embraces four times
its former area, If the rate of improvement be
three fold, the increase of the area is nine fold,
and SO on. All the produce industry and wealth
which by these Improvements finds, for the first
time, market, is as it were new creation.
The views here expressed have been confirmed
by recent inspection of three plank roads, which
start from Utica Their contrast with the mndkeles
of the common roads adjoining them makes it seem
impossible to exat too highly their advantages; and
the merchants of that place are emphatic in their
appreciation of their effects their trade. Rome
preceded Utica in this Improvement and was in
consequence rapidly drawing away its business,
till in selfdefence the inhabitants of Utica resorted
to the same expedent and are now enjoying its ben
efts 1t is to be earnestly hoped that the enter
prise of our citizens viii be sufficient to enable
them to reap equally golden harvests In great
haste,
/ have the honor to be, &c.

FOR CALIFORNIA.

The following named gentlemen have formed
themselves into company, and intend starting on
Monday next for California: Messrs. John M.
Smith, John A. Johnston, Robert Caldwell, VIM
Caldwell Isaac Sharp, Jas. W. Stevenson, Grow
ner Gallagher and L. E. Boren. They are men of
enterprise and perseverance, and are among the
best citizens of our place Most of them leave
families behind, but go with buoyant hearts and
sanguine hopes of successful journey, and quick
return. That they may not be disappointed in
their hopes, is our sincere wish.
We understand there are others talking ofstar-
ting from this place at the same time, but have not
learned their names

PLANK ROADS.

Now that the Legislature has passed our plank
road BILL granting us charter from here to Rome,
in Seneca county we hope that our citizens, as well
as those living Immediately along the line, will take
measures at early day, to call meeting, for the
purpose of subscribing stock, and taking into con-
sideration the best plan and means for constructing
the road. Now is the time to act Our neigh6ors
have long since built themselves either plankroads,
railroads, canals or turnpkes, and now letus make
an effort at least to build this contemplated plank
road 1t win pass through the most fertile region
of our county as well as of Seneca and the advan-
tages that would result to our town upon the COM
pletion of the road, are incalculable In another
column viii be found an interesting letter upon this
subject from the pen of Prof Gillespie, which We
recommend to the attentive consideration of all
