TO THE DIRECTORS OF THE YORK RIVER
RAILROAD-Seeing that effort is being made to
Locate the Depot of the above Road the lots be-
longing to the city, the Dock and believing that
the place is entirely unsuted for such location |
would suggest the propriety of locating the Depot
near Rockets, adjoining the new Gas Works. The
site the Dock too small for such purposes well
expensive. The place Rockets is better adapt
ed, for many reasons Ground is cheaper, and lar
ger space could be had-and because of its easy
to the shipping, well being more remote
from the city. All the Baltimore Roads have found
it essary to remove their Depots from the heart
of the city--less accidents occur thereby.
We hope the Directors will look well to the mat
ter before they act --s--
The City Council should restrict the Company
from crossing Main street. The Company, well as
the city, will find it to their interest to locate il
Rockets, and not on the Dock; and they will thus
the Gas Works have done, for want of room.

ANTAGONIST OF THE NORTH AND
SOUTH.

The N. Y. Express attributes the nullifca.
ton of the fugitive slave law in Wisconsin
to faithlessness of the South to the men who
framed the compromise of 1850, the direc.
ton of the federal patronage against them,
and the Nebraska BILL
We are surprised that so intelligent and
conservatives journal as the Express should
fall into such a mistake. The fugitive slave
law has been so often practically nulliiied
since the compromise of 1850, and before the
agitation of the Nebraska bill, that it had en-
ttrely disappointed the expectations of its
friends and the friends of the Union.
The Express says:
"1he most deplorable consequences of the Ne,
braska agitation to be the aiterclaps if
This bin will afford an excuse for all sorts of viola
tFou OF the laws of the land and the laws of good
neighborhood. Between the border States the diff
Equities will increase and be aggravated. The
good understanding which was existing between
tlse North and the South, under the Compromise OF
1850, will be exchanged for bitterness and rancor.
It's mistake Judge Bronson falls into, and many
other worthy men-that this Territory of Nebraska,
being removed from litigation between the North
and the South. all strife hereafter will be forever
husht'd. There will be nothing TO dispute about.
they say We have often rcfuted this species OF
reasoning, but it becomes necessary to relute it
again and again"
Wen, suppose the Nebraska bill is defeated,
will there be no "after-claps" then? The Ec-
press proceeds, in its very next sentence, to
show that 'the North and South have anita
gonistic institutions, and they must always
conflict" 1t enumerates nine points of con-
tention, and says it could enumerate fifty, to
show that the antagonism of free and slave
institutions is never to be appeased or quiet
ed by the passage of the Nebraska bill. Will
it be appeased or quoted by the defeat of
that measure? Necer!t The antagonism be-
tween the institutions of the North and South
is irreconcilable. The political creeds, and
even religious views of duty, as the Erpress
truly says, are different. The people, though
from the same original stock, are different in
appearance, in character, in habits as diffe-
rent as any two nations. The masses of both
are brave, conscientious patriotic, and dis
posed to live in peace with each other; but
| fanaticism and denlagoguism have so blind
ed and imfamed the North upon slavery, and
repeated wrongs and aggressions so tho
| roughly aroused the indignation of the South,
that we almost despair of permanent recon
citation. Indeed, the sentiment of Senator
Badger is fast beginning to be the sentiment
| of every Southern man-If we cannot live in
peace, it is better that we should separate.
