ALL HAIL, New JERSEY The active opposition
of senator Dayton. of New jersey to the passage of
the compromise bills at the last session of Congress
was noticed with regret by many who could not
claim to be his immediate constituents. Still more
sensibly the grievance felt in his State. as
is shown by the overwhelming defeat suffered by his
heretofore victorious party at the recent election
Other elements, aware entered into the cleo
ton. but this was one of the most prominent. The
new legislature, both branches of which are demo-
cratic, commenced its session at Trenton, Tuesday
last. Governor Haines, in his inaugural message,
audes to the strong resolutions of Indiana and New
Hampshire in favor Of the Compromise. which reso-
lutions he transmits in connexion with his message,
and then remarks
/" believe that the o;tizens of New Jersey accord
in the sentiments of these resolutions and that thew
will firmly stand by and maintain those measures
regarding them the whole, not merely wise and
patriotic butessentia to the Union, prosperity peace
averse to any further agitation of the exciting
topics involved in them. And | submit whether It
does not become you, as the representatives of the
people of one of the original States-a people emf
nenty patriotic and highly conservative express
in calm, but firm and explicit terms these views and
your own upon these momentous questions"

A New ENrERpRIsE-A book of $50 pages has
been published in London, with plates and map of
North America down to the 10th degree of north
latitude, detailing plan of railroad across Nova
Scotia and the Canadas from Halifax to the Pacific.
The idea is magnificent. The route from Halifax to
Quebec is already surveyed. The distance from
England to China by this proposed road is shown to
be fifteen hundred miles shorter than the nearest route
the United States The cost of the road is es
timated at 9l4OOO,OOO, averaging $4,000 mile
To build it 10000 convcts to be set at work at
once paupers are to be sent over and Canada is to
be raised to great dignity in the United Kingdom
Five millions Of people can be spared from En- gland
Ireland and Scotland to settle along the route and
populate it to the Pacific The scheme is to relieve
Great Britain of her pauper burdens regenerate the
old monarchy, and establish her firmly on the Amer
lean continent. Jonathan will see about it.
The Directors of the Fayetteville and Southern
Plank Road Company met on the 14th instant, and
permanently organized, by appointing
A. A. Mcclellan. Presidents
G. Deming, Vice President
A A. T. Smith, Attorney and Secretary
D. G. McDufhe, Engineer.
The sealed proposals were opened, and the con-
tracts awarded to d. M Buie of this county, at a
price, we understood equal to about 81, 289 SO per
mile, which includes about 1000 feet of bridging.
