THE BALTIMORE AND PoroMAC RAIL.
ROAD.-The Marlboro Gazette says that
this road-designed to connect Baltimore
with the Potomac opposite the mouth of
Aqua Creek-has not been abandoned
but will undoubtedly be built. 1t fur
ther adds:
1.-The Patapsco Railroad Company and
the Fredericksburg Company have re-
solved to subscribe largely to our rail-
road. These two companies are looked
to for the largest investment. They de-
sign taking nearly 100000 worth of
stock. Until they can complete their
arrangements to do so, or give over their
resolve, no definite action will be taken
by the Commissioners appointed under
our charter.

Nep York, November II, 1853.


The case of De Corn, charged with the muir
der of Melville, was closed yesterday, the
counsel for the prisoner contending that it
was a case of self-defence; the prosecution,
however, taking opposite ground. The jury
has not agreed upon their verdict.
Mach sympathy is felt in the death of Henry
de Wolfe, lately appointed Consul to Dundee
Scotland. He left for Europe in the Baltic
only month ago, but illness obliged him to
return Immediately. He was q native of
Rhode Island, and in 1923 married a daughter
of Professor Rogers, of the Pennsylvania Uni
versity, who, with seven children, survive
him His death is the seventh that has occur
red among the Consular appointments made
by President Pierce. during the eight months
he has been In Office.
AS expected, the great pacing horse Hero
has died of over working in his recent trial

all expenditures, to prevent abuse by any un- |
faithful public servant The laws should, un
der heavy penalties, require all money receiv- |
ed on account Of the government to be prompt |
remain inviolate until paid out under distinct
made by Congress.
The Sentinel protests that it gives its
peculiar style of d" independent support"
to the Administration by way of prevent
ing the New York squabble from being
made a national Democratic squabble.
The same journal continuing its "inde-
pendent support" of the Administration,
argues that its conduct with reference to
the course of such independent support
ers is like that of the Government of the
United States in Alien and Sedition Law
times. 1t is virtually accused of hireing
bullles, pressing office holders into SER
vice, &C., to break up independent DEM
ocratic meetings, &C., by way of muzzling
the press and preventing Independent
citizens from expressing their opinions on
public affairs. Now, the truth is, such
Independent citizens and presses as the
New York National Democrat, Albany
Argus and Washington Sentinel, and the
Cooleys, Bradys, and others of the same
ilk, 20 express their opinions as to raise
storm of indignation against the con-
cealed motives by which some of them
are actuated. Who ever hears of Wings
breaking up Democratic meetings by
violence, or Democrats breaking up Wing
meetings in the same manner? Yet who
does not know, that in such meetings,
the opposite side are usually abused with
even more violence than in such gather
ings as was witnessed here on Monday
night last If the Government of the
United States are disposed to revive al
legged government practices of the Alien
and Sedition Law times, would they fail
to carry them out against those who are
openly and avowedly their opponents or
enemies, applying them only to those
who still profess devotion to their own
fortunes ? Now, the truth is, if violence
is used towards men who are VIGOROUSLY
and unblushingly stabbing the President
in the back, while protesting to love him
better than their life, they may thank
their own want of honesty of purpose for
rendering their fellow-citizens so indig-
nant against their course, as to make
public opinion around them ungoverna-
bic for the instant. However, so far as
the violence complained of at the
meeting in this city is concerned, we
know that nothing of the sort was con-
certed, and that it all grew out of the SO
manifest disingenuousness of the twenty
five or thirty disappointed Office seekers
who made up the "hard" party present
of the men who are willing to be known
in this community as asserters that the
resolutions were passed, when they ars
aware that thereare between three and fou1
hundred citizens of Washington, who
can testify from their own knowledge
that they were not even voted on.

SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS.

The Intelligencer discusses the Sandwich
Island annexation question, basing its
remarks upon paragraph in the letter
of correspondent in recent number Of
a Philadelphia paper, saying that treaty
of annexation has probably already been
negotiated by Mr.. Severance, our Com
missioner there, and on the Unions
recent article on the subject, which we
republished entire. The editor says that
his readers
-; would hardly conceive that scheme is on
foot to extend the bounds Of this American
Union tlree thousand miles beyond tbs shore
of the continent into the vast expanse of the
Pacific Ocean, to acquire and annex to the
United States the Sandwich Islands composed
Of Owyhee and the contiguous ones forming
the group. Plain readers, who have looked
only at the honorable career and happy desti
ny contemplated by the trainers of the Gov
eminent and their wise successors, would not
credit that scheme of expansion 90 vast and
psrilous could be projected by any sane Amer
lean, or that y could or has come from any
but the teeming brain of some visionary Of
the " Universal Democratic Committee" alien
and unframed alike to all true notions Of
American principles and aspirations. But
lest any retired readers should remain incred-
ulous, We will present them with one or two
notices of the project from he public press
The first is the following extract from Wash.
