Democrats when they denounca in un- measured terms statesmen who in great emergencies propose ra-constitutional remedies, remember that at the head Of the roll stands the name of TAomas Jafwson' The Railroad TIE BOSTON, HARTFORD AND ERIE RAILRoAD.- We have noticed in our exchanges from time to time, items concerning the western extension of the Boston, Hartford and Erie Railroad from this city to Fishkill, some of them positively asserting that this line or that had been adopted as Me route. From such information as we have been able to gather while looking up facts concerning different routes We know that no definite line has been positively decided upon. The extension of 1 the road we regard as sure, but We suppose the extension Of the route will depend upon questions Of directnesa, grades, local business, and other matters yet to be more fully considered. The lib- erallty of the communities on the different pro- posed routes in arranging with the company for land damages will Of course have some weight in deciding the actual location: It is probable that engineers will make still further prospecting visits among the Lltchfield county hills this spring and summer.-LOHUn.
 There can be no reasonable doubt of the truth Of the foregoing statement. Even if any thing had been considered settled, the Vanderbilt and Drew controversy re-opens the whole question. 1t is we'll known that Drew had large investments along the Southern line of the Boston and Erie, and his influence, which was great, was all thrown ill favor of that route. Now, he has his hands full of much more important business, and all that has been projected regarding the western extension of the Boston and Erie will have to be postponed. 1t is more than ever necessary that Iitch- field County should send safe men to see to their interests before the next Legislature. Nsa5N The nomination of G. M. Woodruff, Esq. for Judge of Probate is not bo,ea tide pro- ceeding. It seems to be an understood thing among the Democracy that in case
 of his election, Hon. George H. Baldwin, Candidate for the Senatorship, WILL TRANSACT THE BUSINESS OF THE OFFICE, AS

 When we reflect what friend the Lon- don Times has always been to this country, we are grieved that it's preferences have been so little regarded by the Senate! - .---~---~--

 This is the shrewdest Copperhead dodge, yet. They propose to make the "nigger" their representative, and then offer that fact as proof of his bad moral character! - ~---- BA- In California Yankees marry Digger Indi. | ans, Irishmen marry Chinese, Portuguese marry Malays, Mexicans marry Sandwich Islanders, Eng. lishmen marry Apaches, &c.-Register.
