Elihu Burritt, Esq made an address here Thurs
day on the subject of ocean Vennv postage, which
certainly able and eloquent but whether We are
prepared to agree with him in the matter in hand is
another affair. In the present state of the postofce
epartment-crppIed as its resources are,-burden-
ed it is with oppressive contracts with New York
steamship companies we can hardly see our way to
any reduction OF the kind contemplated. Upon the
whole, think all the practical considerations point
the other way

The Proposed Railroad to Charlotte.

So earlv period in the inception of any work, or
rather in the inception OF the preliminary move
ments towards any work. is much too soon to speak
positively with reference to its future prospects,
which may be dependent upon many contingencies
which the future alone can reveal. AS regards the
spirit with which the proposition has been received
here and the indications which existing ciTcumstan-
ces Afford however, we can speak, and they are
highly favourable in view of the benefits expected to
be derived from the completion of such work and
of the probabilities of its construction. On this lat
ter point much must, of course depend upon the ac-
ton of the intermediate counties between the two
points We have reason to believe that these coun-
ties or most of them are fully alive to the importance
of the object in view, and sangune expectations are
entertained that they will come up TO the work warm
~ and literally.
A direct connection with the west has long been
a cherished object with the citizens of Wilmington,
and has also engaged the attention OF the press here
as we find by reference to our hles, where we hnd
that such connection has been alluded TO and urged
at sundry times extending back for some years, but
especially since the agitation Of the Charleston Com
mercial Convention. Our contemporaries of the Com
mercial aud Herald have also alluded TO this matter
The recent action of the citizens OF Chariot, Is the
FIRST move made by our Western brethren in this d.
Iecon, the first indication OF desire 10 meet US IN
forming the deserated connection and is but right
and proper and courteous on our part, that the
invitation of the people of Charlotte and Mecklen-
burg county, to meet them in convention, should be
responded to in the spirit which prompted it. This
has been done, and what further may be considered
necessary will also be done, for the promotion OF SC
important an object.
Subsequent movements and more definite and der
inmate action must of course, depend upon the Con
venton. when called by Charlotte. Al that Con
venon all the interests concerned will no doubt be
represented and full understanding of all the bear
ings Of the case be arrived at. One thing is now
Certan--a direct western connectionwe must have
Charlotte has proposed that connection With all
the light now before our people, thai connection has
all their sympahies good wishes and will have then
fullest cooperation, unless things turn out totally
different from any expectations now entertained.

SPEECH OF HON. G. 8. HOUSTON, OF
ALABAMA.

We publish to-day the speech of the Hon.
Mr.. Houston, of Alabama, the chairman of the
House Committee Of Ways and Means, on the
Mexican treaty. Our only regret is that the
pressure on our columns has compelled us SO
long to postpone its publication. 1t is a strong,
solid, and able speech the speech Of an indus
trious public man, who spares no pains to col
lect full and accurate information on his sub
ject, and to impart that information to the ma
tonal legislature and to the country. No one
can rise from the perusal Of Mr.. Houston's
speech without feeling both instructed and con-
vinced. All who heard or who have read it
concur in pronouncing it eminently able, for.
cible, and convincing. Colonel Benton, we
venture to say, will never forget it. 1t fell upon
him with crushing power. Its length pre-
cludes extended comment.

THE FUSION.

If any further evidence were wanted to de-
monstrate the purpose of the whig journals of
the north, the Albany Epening Journal, the
the Boston atlas, the Commercial Adoertiser,
New York, and others of similar character, it
would be found in the consummate folly of an
attempted fusion Of all parties and all interests,
public and private, with party having for its
cement the simple platform or principle of
repeal of the Nebraska bill and Fugitive slave
law.
1.-THE wings of the south have up to this mo-
ment believed in the sincerity and high minded
ness of their northern allies, the unfurling Of
his banner by the northern portion as their sole
creed and single motive for action in the coming
campaign, must wholly dispel the Illusion. If
hey fraternize with northern wings, it must be
in the fusion, and upon their platform.
Those wings of the south, who for the sake
If supposed harmony jeoparded everything by
heir opposition TO Nebraska, have now to learn
now thankless was their task, and that if they
lesire any longer communion with northern
Wigs, they must submit to the fusion about to
be made in the Saratoga crucible.
So vital do the northern wings represented
BY such papers as the above) consider this
fusion, that upon its altar are to be sacrificed
every interest and every principle. Are the
southern anti-Nebraska wings prepared to

are few men of honorable ambition who would
not value it. BY many tits sought assiduously.
No man has right to it. Nor is the argu-
ment that it should be given first to one and
then another, worth much; for at best there
are but a few in any generation on whom the
honor can be bestowed. 1t had as well be
monopolized by one as bya few. There should
be no rule but that based on the public inter
ests and necessities. M .
When members Of Congress are incompe-
tent or unfaithful, they should be forced to give
way to others; but when they are competent
faithful, and experienced, we think it exceed
ingly ill,judged to replace them with tyros and
novices. Their constituents and the country
