THE RALwAY.-The ST. John Morning
News has pretty high opinion Of the abili>
ty Of Name to build Railroads. The follow.
is from that paper Of Wednesday last:
But let us imagine even the very worst
prospect in the case. Suppose New Bruns-
wick will not subscribe any hng-excuse
US for the outrage-the people of Maine have
their charter so constructed that they are at
liberty 10 raise $4,000. O00-and all they
will ask of ms is the privilege of allowing
them to buIId the railway through our terri
tory, and they will put it right through at
their own expense, and realize all the advan.
tages; while BIuenose, TO his eternal disgrace
would be mo where' when the dividends
came TO be declared. Of course we are not
so silly as to believe any thing Of the sort
we are merely taking an extreme view of the
case-New Brunswick will do her d"ty'
without the shadow of doubt. The nan
way will be commenced next May MARX
that.

SIGNIFICANT. The Portland Inquirer, the
free soil paper in Portland, acknowledges that
It's subscrirtion list has fallen off one-third,
lately Bath Times.
1t is gratifying that the subject of "political
morality is receiving the attention of the
Times. Hope it will find it useful.
We were expressly speaking of the course
of things during the past year-betore we took
the paper; and distinctly stated week or two
ago that, ''lately,' the circulation had increas-
ed some hundreds. Is making an untrue i'm
preston, falsehood. And is not talsehood
mean, well as wicked 1t must have been
an inadvertaece. Inquirer.
We give our brother the benefit of his ex-
PLANTATION, having no desire to misrepresent
him. We are aware that extra efforts were
made and plans devised, at the last Free Soil
State Convention, to keep the organ of the par
ty alive, but as the last paper announces the
necessity of ''suspending the publication Of the
paper to afford means to bring up the list" it
would seem that the explanation of our brother
does not mend the matter much. Bro. Wiley
wields vigorous pen, and if he would but
confine his efforts to their legitimate and APP
propriate sphere and not attempt to promote
his phllanthropic object through the aid of pol
tics, his paper would not fall, into such disre-
pute.

FUGITIvE SLAVE LAW Attorney General
Crittenden has lately given his opinion of the
constitutionality of the slave law, which was

to be between one and t,co hundred thousand

INSULT TO INJuRY-The abolitionizing wings
in the state of New York accuse the national
wings of boiling from the Convention. But it
appears that the national wings were first ex-
cluded from the secret midnight caucus which
was held the night before, and the question
arises whether they could bolt after they had
thus been actually expelled.
