Room. The facts are these: .aa 49,
The Michigan Southern claims the ex-
elusive RICH, Of running a road through
Northern Indiana, from east TO west.
This doctriae the Michigan Central re-
sis,s, and claims equal privileges with the
Michigan southern. The Michigan souah.-
ern wants On injunction against the Mich

every trip tina, the Michigan Central has
made through northern Indiana. This
is the most important suit now pending
before the Supreme Court. The affect Of
a decision adverse to the Michigan Cen

itself, can be quite IS well imagined as
described.

SIR: Greece has never forgotten the noble
sympathy manifested towards her by the Amer
lean nation at the time of her revolution. Full
Of gratitude and Of friendship, she has always
watched, with the deepest interest, the wonder
full progress which has been in every respect
achieved by people towhom she feels attached
by the most indissoluble ties.
1t is under the influence of these sentiments,
sir, that his Majesty's government, faithful in
terpreter of the national wish, being DESTROYS
to testify, in solemn manner, Its veneration
for the memory of the illustrious Washington,
has caused to be transmitted to Mr.. King, act
ing consul of the U nited States at Athens, q
block of marble taken from the very ruins Of
the Parthenon, in order that it may serve to
adorn, however humbly, the monument des-
tined to perpetuate the remembrance of the
great founder of American independence.
Confident that this modest offering of Greece
will be considered as pledge of regard and
gratitude for the American people, ] avail my
self of this occasion, sir, to express to you my
sentiments of high consideration.

nAL- The Missouri Courier of the 7th inst,
contains very sensible and wen considered
article on the Generalization Of parties, and
the causes that have brought about that result
Il shows the necessity for national organiza-
tons and general party creeds, that cannot safe
" be disturbed by mere local and sectional
views and interests. The brief extract which
VIC take from the Courier's article Is full Of
good sense and furnishes complete refutation
Of the arguments of those who are seeking to
form Western party. 1t is also equally con-
elusive against those who are engaged in efforts
TO construct other and worse sectional parties.
It truly. says that lscal grievances require only
local remedies and should not be introduced
into national politics. The extract from the
Courier Is as follows:
ave answer that all obstacles that affect our
national progress are ola local character; they
are interests that affect certain portions Of the
Union, which are opposed to the interests Of
other portions, and designing politicians, in
stead Of applying 10 local grievances local rem
edies, are endeavoring 10 introduce them into
the national politics OF the country, and confuse
its legislation by the multiplicity Of subjects
which they introduce to be treated, that are
inappropriate for the time, place and oc-
casion. By engrafting upon our national
policy or parties the heterogeneous mass Of
diseases which are peculiar 70 certain local.
ties; and by attempting, as IL were TO subject
the whole system 10 a mercurial course Of treat
ment for the removal Of simple cutaneous
eruption, which could easily be corrected by
the application Of local remedy, they disturb
the natural operation Of the whole system and
subject il 10 the attacks of fatal disease.
Hence, In our national politics. we should re-
ject every element Of local character, and
only recognize those principles az legitimate
which are natural In their character and effects.
In this manner we secure the adoption Of q
| national policy which is consistent and simple,
and reject thst policy Of eSpedients which the
Wing party Is cndeayoring TO epgraf upon the
country, in the hope Of uniting the various in
terests 70 which they are TO cater, by a system Of
legislation founded upon expediehcy."

most valuable features Of her government.
The idea of confederacy Of States, united as
against the world, but separate and distinct in
their individual sovereignty, might never have
been suggested to the wise trainers Of our Csn.
stitution but for their knowledge and admira-
ton Of the sacred Amphyctionic league.
Let this stone stand forever, surrounded by
other and kindred elements in that proud monu-
ment, and teaching the useful lesson that,
though complete and perfect in itself, it owes
its preservation and its strength to the union
Of the whole.
