RAILROAD FACILITIBs-C Convenience of Travel,
Ancient history records the fact, that when the
Blackstone canal was in successful operation,
during the palmy days, when its tolls nearly paid
the salaries of its various officers, way-worn
traveller, tired and weary. inquired what would
be the fare from Worcester TO Providence, provi-
ded he footed it down the tow-path and drove the
horse; he was Immediately informed that he
could enjoy the freedom of the canal upon fifty
per cent reduction from the usual fare and trust.

he forthwith set his face towards Naraganset

Since the days when the aforesaid incident oe-

public, and to create dividend-paying stock,
have ousted the old canal, and have established

Have they succeeded in satisfying the wants of
those whose necessities call upon them to jour

The cars, as they now leave upon the Provl-
dence and Worcester Railroad, do not sufficiently
accommodate the travelling public. They leave
the Green street depot filled at the Junction de-

and are crowded; gentlemen who have paid for

We feel, Messrs. Editors, no disposition to
quarrel with any arrangement tending to the eco.

are interesting from their novelty,) but there is
such thing as carrying economy too far.

MORE OF VorING ON SLAVERY IN OREGON
AS pointed contrast to the fraudulent conduct
OF the Kanzas Constitutional Convention, we
present the mode Of voting the slavery cues
tion adopted in Oregon In that Territory there
was party strongly in favor Of pro-slavery
constitution; but they submitted the entire con-
stitution to be fairly voted on BY the people, and
also, separately, the question of.slayery. We
quote the provision on this last point;
q If this constitution shall be accepted BY the
electors, and majority of all the votes given for
and against slavery shall be given for slavery,
then the following section shall be added to the
bill OF rights, and shah be part Of this constitu-
ton.
Sec -. Persons lawfully held as slaves in
any STATE, Territory, or District OF the United
States, under the laws thereof, may be brought
into this State, and such slaves and their de-
scendan,s may be held as slaves within this
State, and shall not be emaneipated without the
consent Of their owners.
And a majority of such votes shall be given
against slavery, then the foregoing section shall
not, but the following section shall, be added to
the bill Of rights, and shall be part of this con-
stRution,
involuntary servitude in this State. otherwise
thon as a punishment for crime, whereof the par
~ shall have been duly convicted
The contrast between this and the course pro-
posed to be pursued by the Administration, in
the case Of Kanzas, where privilege is to be
allowed the people to have voice as to their own
constitution, is pointed and marked in the ex-
treme. Give the people chance to express their
opinion, on the infamous concocticn prepared for
them to swallow, by the bogus convention, and
they will kick it out nearly unanimously; and
this is the reason the border rufians Of the Ter
Eitory, and their sympathizers at Washington, are
so much opposed to reference of their work to
the people.
But day of reckoning will soon come with
the authors OF the infamous fraud, should the
attempt be persisted in to make the people of the
new State consent to live under and acknowledge
allegiance to constitution for their own State
government, which they had no hand in Great
ing, but which they would almost with one voice
ssehew and repudiate, were they allowed to give
expression to their voices upon it, at the polls.

The Richmond South learns that Governor
Walker" was at particular pains, on the eve Of
his leaving the Territory, to advise the Free
Sellers not to vote upon the issue submitted to
them" OF course, the South is very severe upon
what i calls this audacious interference with
the free agency and free decision Of the people"
But the Indignation Of the writer is much soothed
BY considering the dilemma in which Gov. Wise,
the editor of the Richmond Enquirer, and other
Southern supporters Of Governor Walker, are
now placed by the stand Of the Administration.
These gentlemen evidently supposed that the
Administration WAS in earnest in rebukipR the
Oxford frauds and clarifying popular sovereign.
