We have already referred to the indifference into

of those who anxiously desire settlement of the
question is doubtless increasing, the anxiety as to
the mode OF settling it has greatly diminished
Undoubtedly very decided and very diverse opn-
ions exist in the opposite sections of the country
touching the question of slavery, and much excite
ment in relation thereto but, far above all this, is
the general desire for such settlement of the cues
ton shall enable Congress to go on with the leg-
innate business of the country; and far above both
is the universal determination to stand by the Union
The question of dissolution is not to be enter
tanned The result of the Nashville Convention,
and the whole course of the proceedings of that
body, show this most conclusively, and the voice
that comes from every part Of the country con-

But dissolution of the Union, although the
greatest is not the only political evil which hap
pen TO us. The alienation of one part of the coun-
try from the other, the neglect of the public bust
ness, the formation Of sectional parties, all these
are evils of great magnitude, and agains. which it
is the duty OF Congress to guard.

The great Railroad Celebration at Burlington,
W.. must have been very delightful one, accord
ing to the description given Of itin the papers. The
village itself is one of the most picturesque and
beautiful in New England. The gentle slope, on
which the town is erected, from the Colleges to the
Lake; the elegance of the buildings themselves |;
the majesty of the distant mountains and the pIa-
cidness of the lake, are all very graphically
described by those who were present at the cele-
bration. A large collection was present, who we're
very Hospitality entertained. The procession was
splendid one and the dinner sumptuous The
toasts speeches, remarks and jokes we're all good.
In the evening, there was grand ball in the pa
vion which was kept up until the dawn of the next
morning.
The following was President TAYLoR's reply
to an invitation TO the celebration:

TURKEY AND THE UNITED STATES.

We have seen private letter from an American
gentleman at Constantinople, of late date, which
mentions, incidentally, but doubt not correctly,
that our able Minister, Mr.. MARSH, has succeeded
in persuading the Porte to send Public Agent to
the United States, and that he would set out in a
few days for America. Nominally, the Agent comes
to inspect our Navy, &C., and this is main object
of his mission. But the Porte has other objects
in view. He will be directed to see every thing
worth examining, and will report on our power and
resources, our productive industry, &c.
This mission, by making the Government of the
Porte better acquainted with our institutions and
our country, its extent, resources, and power, can
not fail to be productive of beneficial results and
we have no doubt that our Government will do
every thing in its power to facilitate the operations
and objects of the Agent, as well as to secure the
making of proper impression upon him.
The Turks, we understand, are jealous of the
great European Powers, and strongly inclined to be
on the best terms with US but they know little of
us, and many of them suppose that we are very
concern, because we send no ships of
war there, and keep Minister on salary which
will hardly pay his house-rent.
1t is quite probable that we might derive great
advantages from closer political and commercial re-
latons with Turkey; and the Government can now
do much to promote this object by proper atten-
tons to this gentleman, whose report will have
great weight with his own Government

that Texas will absorb New Mexico and if the United States

Of that portion of New Mexico lying this side Of the Rio

Your right entertain such opinion my object
to question. But wish to say to you lest you may be
mistaken in the opinions Of Others that the first Federal gun
that shall be fred against the people Of Texas without the
authority of law will be the signal for the freemen from the
