II. NEW PLANK pnAn-tus unnla e.n

tI5- NEW PLANK ROAD.-We would call II.
attention of those interested the meeting sdver-
tised to be held at Blakey's Broad street Hotel at
hat past O'clock THIS EVENING
This move is one of great importance to all pro-
perty holders on the Brook Avenue snd Turnpike
tor shcud we lose this very favorable opportunity OF
securing q good thoroughfare by our property, our
failure would be the means, in alt probability of So
curing the success of the old Richmond Turnpike
move, which, If successful, would forever take from
our road the upper Hanover and Louisa travel; In
which event it would be impossible to keep up an
improved road on the Brook; and not many moons
would pass before we should witness, with our own
eyes, re-appeaIance of those beautiful sceaes of
which our fathers t. II us-when, they say, one
could scarcely get ont of sight of broken wagon or
dead horse from Wiliamson's Tavern TO the city
and when six fine horses were not found sufilCen nt
to pull an empty stage from its miry bed.
Fellowctiz7ns Are you willing to stand listlessly
by and see your highway get into such a condition.
thst will take you the best part OF winters day
plod your weary way through its mud? And when
summoned TO attend jurors house, the morti-
hcaton to ind the Jud &c and your fellow jurors who
have come from more enlightened portions of the
county, their improved roads, waiting for youf-
Having to pay toll, when summoned to attend Court,
is the only objection, of any note have heard to
our scheme, and have consequently requested our
viglant dele gate to get clause inserted in char
ter requiring the Company to let pass free all per-
sons summoned TO attend Court. We have also ask
ed the Legislature TO subscribe two-hfths to our
stock, and cannot doubt that they will grant rea-
sonsbe request, when they see that our road will
pass through a section of country which no other
improvement can ever reach; and when they reflect
tHaL county uds IcCciFeU ICES IMAM almost any
other, especially we ask for only twoffths while
they are giving three-tifths ts improvements of
greater consequence all over the State.
Hanover is already bestrring herself in the matter
and will give earnest of her good wishes by
king certainly one hundred, and probably more,
shares of our stock.
The merchants and tradesmen of the CITY, and
those Who ride out either for health pleasure are
also interested. Come then, one and all and let us
have a full meeting, have the promise that able
and interesting speakers will be present to address
SUBSCRIBER.

MARTIN KoszrA-The N. Y. Express few days
ago. published long letter purportng to have been
written by Martin Koszta to the President, and to
have been received by telegraph from Washington
The letter was the subject of much newspaper
comment embodying, as 1t did, sentiments OF an ex
traordinary nature. In justice, therefore, to NJ
Koezta, we insert the following:
To the Editor Of the Not7 Yars Tribune:
SIR: just now see in the Express of Dec 49,
and in your valuable paper Of Dec. IA, 1858, como
inunicatiOn under the head Narrative OF Martin
koszta" ASH never presented this any ether
memorandum TO the President and never did au-
thori:e anybody to make such communication or
publication feel it my duty to protest against this
and similar endeavors to hold cut my name, my
misfortune, or the circumstances which brought
me back to America, in behalf of individual pur-
poses and personal interests.

SPIRIT GF THE PRESS.


The Erdmsaer has article in justification of
its course in regard to Secretary Guthrie.
The Enquirer publishes an article from the Nor
folk Ne1s, on the blunders the Administration as
Illustration of the sort Of independent support"
which certain journals profess to extend to the Ad
ministFation. The Enquirer regards this afFecta-
ton OF independence as mask for motives and
aims which require indeed some specious disguise.
The 3fai! comments upon the causes and condi
tion otthe present Democratic feud, which may BE
said to have had lis inoipency in the unfortunate
letter OF Secretary Guthrie to Mr. Ex-Coilec.or
Bronson"
The Penny Post reviews the circumstances CON
uected with the recent invasion OF Lower Califor-
MA. Should the fate Of Critenden and his men
close this iilconsilered and illegal enterprise, and
the mortal career of those engaged in it, the effect
il might have in California is matter for grave
and anxious consideration. The men of desperate
fortunes in that country would be- restrained by no
power known TO our lave. To all appearances
therefore, the act ofa few despcradoes is about to
precipitate into another war with Mexico--a war
which can have no other termination than the en-
hresu5version of it's Government. The Post re-
CARDS the appointment Of Gen. Wool to the com
nand of the California division Of our army as the
best thing the President could have done under the
circumstances; butdoubts whether even Gen. Wool
will be able TO allay the terrible excitement which
will be to break forth as soon as it shall have
been ascertaned that the fllibustcrs have been cap
tured and shot or hung.
The Wdig discusses the party organization
which is in progress in various influential quarters,

to the Presidency on the ground of sustaining the
Compromise measures.
