Plank Road Acknowledgements.
The Meeting of the Stockholders of the
Huntsville and Glasgow Plank Road Com
pany, announced for the 18th inst, has been
postponed tothe 9th of February next--that
being as carly as the Engineer can get his
reports ready.
We are pleased to see the subject is ex-
citing degree Of attention commensurate
with its importance-and from the feeling
manifested, we doubt not that sufficiency of
stock will be subscribed TO complete which
ever route the Stockholders may finally
agree upon. The postponement' Of the
meeting we think, is all the better for the
interests of the enterprise, as it will give
more time for the people TO discuss the SUBJ
iect, and make up their minds. We think
it would have been much better for the re-
port of the Engineer to have been made out
and published, before the day of meeting, SC
that the distance of the different routes and
their estimated cost, could have been known
before hand These two points settled, il
would be an easy matter to determine which
route would produce the greatest amount o
tolls, and then every one could act under,
standingly. The postponement, however
gives ample time for discussion, and the tax
ing of additional stock, and we hope til,
friends of the enterprise generally, and tn
advocates for particular routes will keep tn
ball in motion. s- ..

Our Neutral Policy.

In his last message, Fillmore, in allusion
TO the doctrine of neutrality and non inter-
vention, in which the Unitad States have
taken the lead, refers to the remark of one
of the most eminent of modern British states
men who said in Parliament, while minis
ter of the crown, ''that if he wished for
guide in the system of neutrality, he should
take that laid down by America in the days
of Washington and the secretaryship of JEFF
ferson." The statesman referred to is Mr..
Canning; and the remark attributed to him
occurs in his speech in Parliament of April
18th, 1913, on the Foreign enlistment bill.
We quote the passage as interesting at this
time, and pertinent to the question now rails
ed in this country:
Gentlemen say, that we must be drawn
into war, sooner or later. Why then, l
answer, let it be later. The first condition
of ongagingin any wharf.-the sine qua non of
every such undertakings, that the war
must bejust; the second, that being Just in
itself, we can also with justice engage in it;
and the third, that being just in its nature,
and in being possible for us to embark in 1t,
we can so Interfere without detriment or
prejudice to ourselves.
II contend that he is a visionary polite
ian who leaves this last condition out of the
question; and l say further, that the glorious
abandonment of it may sound well in
the generous speech ofan irresponsible ora
tor-with the safety of a nation upon his
lips, and none of the responsibility upon his
shoulders; but it is matter deeply to be
considered; and that the minister who should
lay it out ofhis view, in calling on the coun-
try to undertake war, would well deserve
that universal censure and reprobation with
which the noble lord opposite has this night
menaced me.
"The position we have taken in the pres
ent instance, is of more probable efficacy
than that in which we should have stood had
we suffered ourselves to be drawn into a
participation in the contest. Participation,
did say? Sir!is there any man who hears
me--is there any man acquainted with the
history of the country for the last twenty
years, who does not know the way in which
Great Britain has been accustomed to par
ticipate in war? Do not gentlemen know
that if we now enter into war, we must
take the whole burden of it upon ourselves,
and conduct the whole force and exertions
of the peninsula?
"Our course is neutralty-strict neutral
ity. We have spent much time in teaching
other powers the nature of strict neutrality;
and, generally speaking, we find them most
reluctant scholars. All now call upon the
House todois, to adopt the same course
which it has recommended 10 neutral pow
ers upon former occasions. fl wished for
guide in system of neutrality | should
take that laid down by America, in the days
of the Presidency of Washington, and the
Secretaryship of Jefferson. = Bost. Trans

D@The interesting letter of our friend
= =, was thankfully received, and care
fully read. The subject of the State Con.
vention having been settled, by an agree.
ment upon St. Louis as the place, and the
I'd Monday in April as the time, so much Of
his letter as relates TO that subject is set
tied. We entirely concur in his views as
to the propriety and Importance Of early &C.
ton on the part of the wings, both in State
and county matters, and shall take occasion
to urge his views upon our friends. The
fight between the two factions, we have MOTH
ing to do Without for the sake of keeping
it up, would incline to encourage the weak

shall receive such said and comfort" as we
have to bestow.
For the compliment to us, and the
course the TIMES has pursued, we are truly
grateful, and regard such encomiums, from
an honest mind, which could not be corrup-
ted by offers from the political coalitionists
that infested our county at the last election,
as full offset to the abuse and villifcalion
of regiment of political renegades and
Office seekers.

Kossuth has reached Washington, and was

Danl. Webster, and had been presented by
him to the President. He was to be pre-

same manner that Lafayette was. This,

L5The New York Herald says that the
Press Banquet to Kossuth was altogether an
abolition affair. No editors, other than those
known to be tinctured with Freesolism,
were permitted TO purchase tickets, whilst
large numbers ofcitizens, not directly or in
directly connected with the press were adj
mitted.
And it was at this banquet that the
President and Cabinet were Kissed and in
suited. What they intended as an insult, is
the highest compliment they could have paid
the administration.
