We invite the attention of readers to the letter
of James B. Shepard, Esq, in our paper of to-day,
declining the nomination for Congress in this District,
rendered him by the franklin Democracy. This let
contains the best exposition of the socalled Com
promise measures which we have seen. Mr.. Shepard
has handled the subject in a mastery and conclusive
manner, showing most clearly that while the South
ern people have lost important rights by those
ure they have gained really nothing in return. Still,
as friend of the Union and for the sake of peace,
and in the hope of peace he is willing acquiesce in
those measures and abide by them.

also that the National Inteigencer is authorized
by friend of Mr. Webster's, since his (Mr. W's)

Gentlemen, regret extremely that slavery exists
IN the Southern States; but Congress has power

Raleigh Standard give Mr.. w. and its readers the
benefit of this correction will it continue its mis-
presentations of that eminent statesman and patriot
Register.
The Register noticed the " correction to this
Speech, but neither published the Speech gave
its readers any opinion in relation to it. That paper
is afraid endorse the Speech, and it is also afraid
to condemn it, because of Mr. Webster's connection
with Mr.. Fillmore; and hence it is SILENT The Re-
gister charges with misrepresenting Mr.. Webster.
The charge is untrue. We published the aDhole of his
Speech, that readers could see and judge Tor
themselves; and if we commented freely upon ii, we
did in a spirit of candor and with the Speech by
the side of remarks, that all could perceive
whether we had misrepresented the author OF it or
not.
We glad to find the above correction in the

MR. ALIENS LETTER.
81. LOUIS, October 29th,


|GENTLErEN:
regret that my continued bad health " III
not permit me to participate with you in cele-
brating the commencement of work upon the
Hannibal and St. Joseph Railroad. thank the
committee of the citizens Of Hannibal, and the
Board Of Directors of the Railroad Company,
sincerely, for their several special invitations TO
be present on so interesting an occasion. My
heart aEd good wishes, however, will be with
you, as they have been heretofore, and shall
look with confidence to see work so warmly
sustained by the people Immediately interested,
so much needed, and so important TO the whole
country, prosecuted steadily from the first Mon
day Of November to its triumphant completion.
Il regard the line you have projected as very fa-
vorably situated in every respect for the con-
struction and support Of Railroad. You have
10 comparatively level country-you have coal,
wood and water, accessible for all the purposes
iof operation. You are on the great route of
Emigration TO the Far West, and will connect
the waters of the Missouri with the Mississip-
ipi You are upon fertile lands, all the way,
capable of sustaining vast population, and of
producing an immensely valuable surplus of ag-
Iricultural staples for expectation. In national
point of view, however important the Central
Railroad of Illinois may be, regard your Road
the United States, and therefore as equally en-
titled to their aid. The Central Road is longi7
tudinal--yours is latitudinal. The great currents
of trade and population take the lines of latitude
mot longitude. presume il will be found
that no lines Of railroad TO facilitate Northern
and Southern intercourse and trade, ,'pay so well
as those which facilitate Eastern and Western
intercourse and trade. / say this in no invid-
ious spirit, but allude TO il as perhaps efxed
fact" Experience is demonstrating that the
great policy Of the East is HesieTa srtensioa OF
Railroad lines, and the more capital there is
invested by the Eastern States in works pro-
iected to the West, the more works they will be
glad TO see constructed in the same direction
New York, for example, the undoubted COM
mereial capital Of this country, and likely long
to remain so, has constructed canal and two
Railroads TO connect tide water and the Lakes.
Ii is evidently the interest Of the capital invest
| ed in these works TO extend the lines along both
shores of Lake Erie, and to continue ia the ma
tural course, by the way of Terre HAnte, TO the
Mississippi at st. Louis, on one side, aud q
Chicago, reaching the great river at Galena, anc
Rock Island on the other. This trade Of the
/ Vest has enriched New York, and rendered her
Zines of travel and transport valuable. Boston
by her uaexsaplea enterprize, has fOr t.ras
shared it, taking large portion Of it, as il were
from the very mouth of New York. Philadel:
phia and Baltimore are reaching afar their arms
to engage in contest for this 'trads in the val
ley q the Ohio, or upon the plains Of the Buck
eye State.
The two lines we are now constructing

king his seat as President of the late Conyen-

merit. ] feel unprepsred to discharge the dn-
ties which deyolve upon me with that ability
which is necessary to reflect honor. But on
undertaking these duties, beg leave to return

COL. STEWARTS Speech.

We are indebted to the Republican for the fol-
lowing report Of Col, SrEwARr's remarks upon
the occasion Of removing the first shovel-fuf of
earth in the construction of the Hannibal and
St. Joseph Railroad:
Fslloto Citizens:- Inasmuch as the Chief Ex-
ecutive Of the State has not been able to attend
on the present occasion, to ofieiate in the cere-
Imony OF breaking the first ground of the great
highway which has been projected, and is now
about to be commenced, it has deVplved, by in
vitation, upon me, and it is with pleasure that I
undertake it. %
| ! belieye l speak the sentiments of all when
say that this is one OF the brightest days in the
history of the State. Strange as it may appear
to those States which have observed our slug
Igish movements heretofore with disgust, and
Contemplated our tardy policy with contempt,
and who have been accustomed 70 undGrvalue
our vast resources, which have been lost sight
of in our lack of energy and public spirit,
nevertheless this is the second occasion OF like
character which has been celebrated within tie
last six months; for, within that time, the en-
terprising oo-workers in advancing internal i'm
provements have commenced the construction
of q railroad west from st, Louis that the State
will be proud of and it is our wish that the
Hannibal and ST. Joseph Road may merit equal
favor in the high opinions of the people Of the
State Of Missouri. Public spirit and enterpTize
are embarked in the two schemes, with . GER
tainty Of their being carried out and completed,
and with full assurances that nothing vii! inter-
yene, unless il might be that GOD should rend
the earth asunder with an earthquake, to prevent
