SUPERINTENDENCE OF ARMORIEs col. KEITTs
SPEECH

In compliance with promise made several days ago
we publish the able speech made by Col Kch in ia
of the military superntendency of the public
Having been member of the special committee raised to
investigate and report the subject may confidently
commend his speech presenting the arguments in favor
position this question has been freely stated and
greatly confirmed in convictions by the facts
and reasoning of Col. Kett
1t is not matter however, of sufficient Importance
TO justify the intense feeling which has entered into
the controversy The public is interested in having
the best arms, made upon the most economical
Whether the armories superintendent by mill.
tiry mechanics is matter OF minor importance
Whether the the other sapcrinted these establish
icnts the manufacturing be done by mechanics II
fitted military for these stations there is palpable
propriety IN assigning TO them the duties intimately
enneeied with their profession But yet cannot ad-
nit that Inc question: when confined the armories
now in operation is such become issue before the
whole country. Our fear is that the interest manifested
the subject has arisen from efforts array the mechanics
as class against The military class Every lover
Of our institutions would dcprecac the raising of such
issue and it is because fear the consequences of such
an issue that have deeply regretted the persistent zeal
res But is not purpose to discuss the question but
to commend to the attention of readers the excellent
speech of Col. Keitt.

BALTIMORE AND PHILADELPHIA RAILROAD.
Permit traveller to notice through your journal the
praiseworthy Improvement now so happily blended with
the comfort of travellers in the reclining in the
cars, in use, prepared by the Philadelphia and VIII
mngton Railroad Company for the and qualification
comfort and convenience Of all those who may from bust
ness or pleasure, be called upon to visit the North What
contrast to the traveller in his journey north from Ba
more can be experienced in the visit now to what it
in times past when called upon to perform short trip
north on business pleasure
The facilities for the transfer of passengers from
boat also far superior this road than upon any
road and with greater safety to travellers that the under
signed has travelled upon Besides these really great
improvements the officers and conductors appear more
socitous in their devotion for the comfort of the traveller
than for any other object Hence the popularity of the
road for its superior and judcious arrangement in the
comfort of the traveller. We have thought this notice
but just tribute to the officers Of the Baltimore and Phil
adephia Company and shall be grated to find the
occupying small space in your widelyextended journal
i wish could say much for the road and from
