"a crisis is approaching that must, if it cannot
be arrested, soon decide whether order and good
government shall be preserved, or anarchy and
confusion ensue. can most religiously aver
have no wish that is incompatible with the dig
nifty happiness, and true interest of the people Of
this country. My ardent desire is, and my aim
has been, as far as depended upon the Executive
Department to comply strictly with all our
gagements, foreign and domestic; but to keep the
: United States free from political connexions with
every other country, to zee them independent
OF all and under the influence of none. In word
want an american character, that the powers of
Europe may be convinced we act for ourselves,
and not for others. This, in my Judgment is the
only way to be respected abroad and happy at
home; and not, by becoming the partisans of Great
Britain or France, create dissensions disturb the
public tranquility, and destroy, perhaps forever,
the cement which binds the Union.''

the construction of a railroad from Baltimore to

and Little Elk, committee was appointed to draft
charter and urge its passage before the Legisla
ture OF Maryland, which is to meet at Barnum's

During the last autumn we had occasion to
recur frequently to the Inconvenience and de-
lays TO which travellers were subjected in max
ing the trip between this city and New York
Under the pressure of public complaint, great
Improvements have been introduced upon the
several lines of the road, but all grounds of
complaint have not yet been removed Still
greater improvements are demanded, and in
some form or other will be obtained. To &C
compllsh the journey by daylight in thirteen
hours is doing pretty well, but it ought TO
be done easily in ten. The New York papers
OF this morning ought to be delivered to us at
four O'Clock in the afternoon. and might readily
be so delivered, if the same time were made on
the railroads between here and New York that
is made on the eastern railroads, making due
allowances for the delay in crossing the Sus-
quehanna, and the long bridges
If the Legislature of Maryland should char
ter the new road now called for, the monopoly
now existing would be broken up, and we
should make the trip to Philadelphia in six
hours or less, instead of eight or more. Then
we might rely on reaching New York in ten
hours at least-a longer time than is consumed
In passing over the corresponding space on any
railroads north and east of New York.
