A CITIZEN OF HOWELL.

BeA- We take much pleasure in answering
" A Citizen of Howell" and will do so in can
dor. Whether the investment will be prof.
table one, depends upon circumstances. II
our correspondent is monied man, with but
little real estate in the vicinity of that road
and merely wishes to invest his money where
he will receive large and quick per centage,
then we reply No. But if he is land-holdel
on the line of said Road, or within two OF
three miles of it, then we say, emphatically
Yes We maintain that it will be to the adj
vantage of every farmer residing in the vicin
ty Of said Road, to take from taeosto fon'
hundred dollars worth of Stock, according to
his circumstances, even admitting that they
never receive one farthng in return, IN the
way of dividends. There are Others whose IA
rorable locations will allow them to take dou-
BILE this amount, under the same circumstances.
Is there all intelligent man in the community,
who can doubt this fact? Would not every
such farm, from Bergen Iron Works to the
terminus of said Road, be enhanced in value
from fee hundred dollars, to t,co thousand DOL
lars, as soon as the Road was completed and
some even far more than this. Most assured
ly they would The whole history OF Kali
roads proves this to be true. We have an III
stance of it in our very midst. The rise OF
property in this section of our county, and
along the line of the Freehold and Jamesburgh
Agricultural Railroad, would be sufficient,
could the truth be ascertained, to defray all
the expenses Of building the Road. Such
would surely be the result of the Road spoken
of by A citizen of Howell"
We would advise every property holder in
the vicinity of the proposed Road, to subscribe
literally for the stock, By SO doing, they
ensure to themselves a cheap and speedy CON-
muncation with the great Market of our coun-
try. By failing to DO this, they may loose
the bright prospects now before them, for
ever

MR.. BUCHANAN ON THE MISSOURI COMPRO
MISE
From the Washington Union. 4,h April.

From the Washington Union. Attn April.
Some discussion having taken place upon
the position of Mr.. Buchanan on the Kansas.
Nebraska bill, we are permitted to copy the
following extract from letter addressed by
Mr.. Bachanas to Senator Slidell, dated Lon
don, on the 18th of December last, when there
seemed 10 be no difference as to Mr.. Buchan-
ans thorough identity with the Democratic
party on this, as as on all other issues. 1t
will be seen that Mr.. b. speaks of the Kansas
Nebraska bill with his usual frankness and de-
cision. We are confirmed in our impression
by this letter that no man, no set of men, and
no newspaper, are at all warranted to speak
authoritatively for Mr.. Buchanan upon this or
upon any other question. His own words
speak for themselves.
The letter of Mr.. Buchanan was not. IT will
be seen, intended for publication. but the gen.
tleman to whom it was addressed has Thought
1T necessary, after the editorial article in the
Union of Wednesday last, to lay it before the
country.
The question has been settled by
Congress, and this settlement should be inflex-
IDLY maintained. The Missouri Compromise is
gone, and gone forever.
But no assaults should be made upon those
Democrats who maintained it, provided they
are now willing in good faith TO maintain the
settlement as 1t exists. Such an understand
ing is wise and just in itself
1t is well known how labored: in company
with southern men, TO have this line extended
TO the Pacific Ocean. But it has departed
The time for it has passed away, and / verify
believe that the best-nay, the only-modt
now left of putting down the fanatical anC
restless spirit of abolition at the North, is t.
adhere to the existing settlement without tn,
slightest thought or appearance of wavering
and without regarding any storm which ma,
be raised against it.
